I proofread romance books from home, and yes, sometimes I eat chocolate or bonbons while I do it. The material is fun, sexy, exciting, heartfelt, and full of strong women. I used to be an in-house proofreader for a global publisher where I worked on various fiction novels, mostly romance. I loved my company, boss, coworkers, and my work, but after a while I started to feel stifled and stagnant. I wanted to be free, and to me that meant setting my own schedule, choosing my work location, and being able to spend time pursuing my goals and interests. When I received my post-graduate certificate in book and magazine publishing, I had dreams of being a remote workerbut ended up going for a secure office job instead. Six days of the week were defined by my job. I had hour days that included a one-and-a-half hour commute each way.
