Zora is back in a timid, dipping a toe into the water, way.

Zora is my nom de Distributed Proofreaders[1]. That's where my heart is, preserving the literary heritage of the world. One of my DP teammates,Cimon Avaro, introduced me to Wikipedia. I'm also active in my localZen group[2].When I am paid for working, I am a writer, copyeditor, and proofreader.

I have threecats (Mamacita, Twit, and Makali‘i) and one daughter, who is a musician and sysadmin. I'm a book geek with a bad reading habit. I've attendedReed College andBerkeley (B.A.) andUniversity of Chicago (M.A., A.B.D.). I also have an associate's degree in computer technology.
