Ashley Almade
Proofreader
Hi, I'm Ashley! I'm a lifelong bookworm and writer. I studied motion pictures in college but discovered a knack for editing when English major friends would ask me to look over their papers.
After graduation, I moved to Los Angeles, where I became a proofreader and occasional copywriter for Graphic Orb. I later became head of the proofreading department before the company ultimately went out of business.
I also worked as the assistant to an independent literary agent for two years, where I learned a great deal about the publishing industry and what publishers look for in a manuscript.
I truly love helping writers craft a riveting story and perfect their skills, and I'm thrilled to be a part of Red Pen for Rent!
My specialties include young adult fantasy, screenplays, historical fiction, film/TV, history (especially Classic Hollywood and Elizabethan England), academic monographs, creative nonfiction, and biographies. In my spare time, I write a nail blog and am working on my own YA novel.
