Al Sabado is a native English-Filipino speaker, a certified professional, and a full-time freelance editor with decades of editorial experience. Her background includes a bachelor’s in communication arts and some master’s in media studies major in film. She helps clients edit, proofread, format, and index books. She has worked on annual reports, journal articles, manuals, web content, and doctoral dissertations while adhering to writing conventions and style guides (e.g., AAA, APA, CMOS, Harvard, MLA). According to specifications, she applies appropriate functions to format documents compatible with Amazon’s self-publishing platforms, such as CreateSpace and Kindle Direct Publishing. Other times, she translates English text to standard, crisp Filipino and provides voice-over.
