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, spending time with family and friends, working out, and drinking coffee (especially while reading!).
