Lucy Sansom PROOFREADER

Lucy Sansom
PROOFREADER

Lucy Sansom has a few decades of experience as a proofreader, more than a couple of those decades at a large Austin, Texas–based advertising agency. She went from being the sole proofer at the agency to building a small yet integral department of word processor, proofreading and editing professionals who were responsible for quality control on everything from a few words on an outdoor board to TV scripts to long-form new business presentations and requests for proposal—and everything in-between.

Over the years, Lucy has worked on many client accounts, including an airline, breweries, a restaurant group, healthcare, homebuilders, financial institutions, auto manufacturers, and governmental agencies. She considers herself to be the first consumer of any communication in whatever medium. 

A new resident of San Antonio, Lucy is a die-hard Astros fan, an amateur birdwatcher and a container-gardening enthusiast. She loves to travel, especially in Europe, with her husband and has had her passport stamped 10 times abroad so far.
