This week’s episode is something students often take for granted - editing! Good writers know that the first draft is never going to be their best work. They need to put aside time to revision, edit, and proofread their work. The best writers have colleagues or professionals to provide them with insights on their work and to fix any technical issues. Like all art, writing takes multiple drafts to reach a level of greatness.

This week’s guest is Daina Sparling, an editor and proofreader at PFAU Academic Writing. Daina has a Psychology degree from the University of Alberta, and experience working as a Research Assistant for the Department of Medicine, Division of Studies. While at the university she collaborated with other academics in the creation, editing, and statistical analysis of examinations used in the medical school. Diana has over three years experience editing graduate-level dissertations and publications with PFAU. In her free time, Daina enjoys travel, beekeeping, and camping. She is a mother to two children and wife of 15 years to Darryl.
