I’m a member of The Starr Conspiracy’s Quality Control team. My job is to keep typos, awkward writing, grammatical errors, and other embarrassing mistakes from leaving the shop. Sometimes I have to be a pain in the ass and ask people to rewrite stuff, ask stupid questions, and spend way more time than a sane person would ever want to with my nose in the dictionary and the AP Stylebook. I also do a lot of random Google searches to verify names, places, addresses, phone numbers, and other miscellaneous information. Facts don't check themselves, people.
