About Joyfilled Author Services

Hi, I'm Joy, the owner of Joyfilled Author Services, LLC. I chose proofreading and beta reading because I care about the fine details of stories. Every comma, every period, every sentence makes an impact on the reading experience, and any piece out of place can knock the reader right out of Imaginationland. I'm here to make sure that all of those pieces are in the right places! 

​

I earned my degree in business at Blue Mountain Community College while simultaneously studying Proofread Anywhere's proofreading course, graduating from both programs in 2023. I use the Chicago Manual of Style and the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary when I proofread.

​

When I'm not poring over grammar books, I can be found working for a progressive church in Eastern Oregon, raising my daughter and snuggling our two cats, and volunteering with Distributed Proofreaders and my local Altrusa chapter. I am also a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA) and the Professional Editors Network (PEN).

​

I also write in my spare time, crafting creative nonfiction about my colorful past and fictional stories about everything else! My sapphic short story, "Hearts and Crafts" will be published Spring 2026 in an anthology of LGBTQ+ writings (working title: Memorable Moments).
