Are you an author looking for someone to take a last look at your work before you publish? I've spent 24 years in the business world, composing, editing, and proofreading all types of correspondence. I will use my years of experience to bring a critical and professional eye to your manuscript. I will review your manuscript for grammar, usage, spelling, punctuation, and consistency of voice and tense. I can find the "oopsies" in any piece of written work that my eyes are exposed to, from TV news scrolls to 600-page novels.
In the ever-changing world of publishing, getting your work out there can seem even harder than ever. In this ultra-competitive climate, I can help assure that you are putting your best foot forward. I've assisted several e-book and self-published authors with the editing and proofreading of their works. Co-workers, family, friends, and business associates often ask for my editing/proofreading assistance with term papers, business proposals, and resumes. I have a B.A. in Political Science from Towson University and a Certificate in Proofreading and Copyediting.
More about me:
I'm doing what I've always wanted to do - READ! My parents taught me to read before I was five years old (thanks, Mom & Dad!). Since then, I have been a voracious reader. I've read all different types of works - Shakespeare, Ayn Rand, Margaret Mitchell, James Patterson. You name it and I've probably read it. My passion is fiction. With the advent of self-publishing and e-readers, I've seen a plethora of authors willing to put themselves out there, and I want to help. I love the written word and want to help new authors hone their skills and their manuscripts.

Pricing:
If you are satisfied with my performance, I will proofread your entire work for .25/page. I accept payment primarily via PayPal, but am open to working with you on other options. Writing is really a collaborative effort, and I'd like to be a part of it!
Send me an email to proofnow@aol.com if you would like to partner on a project.
Lynn thank you for your wonderful service! I was so happy when you returned my fifty pages to me the same day. I will certainly look you up in the future when I am ready for more editing.

Thank you, Mel. I sent you a pm on the forum.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn. You found dozens of errors in a part of my novel that had been read by many people many times, so you really do a great job. I will certainly use you again, best of luck.

Hi Lynn, Thanks for proof reading "Endless Summer". You did a wonderful job, catching errors even after I had it professionally edited... and not a moment too soon. I had someone call me on those errors. I corrected them, upload the book and the customer was happy. I will definitely consider you for any future work :)
