“Let’s be reasonable and add an eighth day to the week that is devoted exclusively to reading.” – Lena Dunham
About Me
Hello! I am Sara Woodard. I'm a happy proofreader because I get to help court reporters make sure their transcripts are spotless so they can spend their time churning out more transcripts.
​
I've been an avid reader my entire life. Now that I'm older, that love of reading has transformed into a love of improving the written word.
​
I'm a single mom to my silly 7-year-old daughter. In my free time, I love to read (not a surprise), drink coffee, and play Minecraft.
