Carol Dilworth, Proofreader

Carol Dilworth did undergraduate studies at Western University and holds Masters degrees from the University of Toronto and Victoria University. Carol’s most memorable work experience was in Latvia after independence. She has also worked in Australia. A Guelphite for twenty-five years, Carol reads at Open Mic and had an award-winning poem published in FreeFall. But Carol’s best qualification to be our proofreader is that she attended elementary school when youngsters were drilled in grammar. And composition. And times tables.
