About Kelvin Oliver
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions from wanting an opinion on stories, finding writing resources, needing help with grammar and proofreading. However, I will not proofread more than 5-7 sentences and no more than 4 paragraphs. I can not answer questions that deal with finding the right publisher, overcoming writer`s block. I'm a college student and my major is English

Experience
I am experienced in this area because I have done writing essays in school, studying and taking in information that is useful for the future. I have done plenty of research in this are of study.
