I am Lori Price, and for over twenty years I worked as an executive assistant in financial and consulting firms. I became passionate about being really good at my job, which included proofreading documents, marketing materials, and presentations.
I've always loved to read! Many times while I'm reading, mistakes seem to jump off the page at me, almost to the point of distraction. When I made the decision to leave the corporate world, starting an editing and proofreading business aligned with my passion, and Grammar Fanatic was born! I have a Bachelor of Science degree yet to further educate myself, I completed and received certification in two courses: Art of Proofreading (now known as Edit Republic) and Poynter ACES Certificate of Editing. Participating in webinars and online sessions, and reading editing books allow me to stay current with the industry and enhance my skills. I also joined several professional associations, enabling me to continue to learn and grow my business. Besides reading, I enjoy studying the Bible, blogging and writing, sewing, baking, hand lettering, spending time with family and friends, working out, and drinking coffee (especially while reading!).

I would not hesitate to recommend Lori for any proofreading or copyediting work.”
— Lani Enterline Managing Editor, Paperback Expert “Lori was recommended to me by a mutual friend who knows her well. I could not be more pleased, particularly as a first-time author, with the work Lori did on my manuscript. She is very inciteful and incredibly detail-oriented. There is no doubt I have a far better manuscript because of her work. She is a delightful person and very easy to work with. I highly recommend her for any copyediting and proofreading needs you might have.”
— Roy Garren Client “I was fortunate to have been introduced to Lori and her services at a time when I needed help completing a letter of recommendation. She not only proofread and edited the content, but, more importantly, she grasped what I wanted to say and helped me express my intent in a professional way. Lori was timely, and working with her was a pure delight!”

— Georgette Taylor Client “Lori produced our organization’s newsletter that was distributed to hundreds of members each month. Lori always met deadline. She collaborated with members of our board of directors to review, proofread, and suggest improvements to all the copy submitted. Lori was an excellent listener and a highly effective communicator. She was dedicated to a standard of excellence that produced a thorough, thoughtful, and effective product that helped us inform and educate our membership. Lori not only improved the effectiveness of our newsletter content; she also helped improve the design and layout. The result was a boost in interest and readership.
