Hello, I am a highly-skilled writer who has strong visual awareness, exemplary grammar and spelling knowledge, and the ability to analyze and modify. When it comes to missing links and correcting errors, look no further. Remember, your content could be a first impression. If you send out material that is riddled with misspellings, grammatical errors, and wrong information, you aren’t going to be presenting a good image of your business? Here is the summary what you have requested. Task: Book Proofreading Short Summary: Proofread a manuscript of about 21,000 words Proposed Deadline: 10 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

Hi, I'm Rohan, and I'm ideally suited to copy edit your manuscript (since word choice and sentence structure fall within the purview of copy editing, not proofreading). I'm a skilled editor with a BA in English Literature and I've edited manuscripts for independent authors and reputed publishing houses from across the globe. I'll use TrackChanges so you can verify the edits made. You may go through samples and reviews in my profile, and I'm also willing to edit a short sample for free.

Hi. I can edit and proofread your manuscript in 10 days or less for $200, correcting the English grammar, spelling, vocabulary, punctuation and sentence structure, and improving the flow and clarity with which you express your ideas and information, if needed, without interfering in your own personal writing style. I can use Word´s Track Changes to show you all my corrections, comments and suggestions in your manuscript. Although I live in Brazil now, I´m an American writer, editor and proofreader, a native English speaker with excellent language skills and years of experience at revising books. This year alone, I have assisted the authors of 2 supernatural thrillers, a collection of romantic stories, 2 non-fiction self-help books, a musician´s biography and a Chinese monk´s search for enlightenment. Please contact me for further discussion. Thanks, David

Hello, and congrats on finishing your book! My name is Jackie, and I would absolutely love to proofread it for you. I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills. I also have a keen eye and ear for characterization, voice, flow, sentence structure, story arc, and plot. My passion is well-polished, great writing -- I've edited more than twenty-five novels, screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. I am currently a writer and associate editor with a publication in my city, and I have worked in the past as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. On average, I proofread 2,300 words of text in one hour. I typically charge between $.01 and .025/word, depending on how intensive the editing need is. Since I don't yet know the exact word count of your novel or the level of editing required, my current bid is only an estimate. I'd be more than happy to edit a writing sample free of charge in order for you to determine whether I am a fit for your needs. I look forward to hearing from you!
