Hi - I'm happy to proofread your 68K-word novel as I'm a professional English proofreader with extensive experience in linguistics and writing. I've helped a lot of clients polish and refine their manuscripts (fiction and non-fiction), business documents, books, novels, novellas, ebooks, short stories, blog posts, articles, presentations, etc.
Besides ensuring a document is error free, I pay attention to clarity and coherence, i.e. transitions between ideas, etc.
Also, I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects but I may keep a copy of your document on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions.
Finally, the finished product will include two copies of the edited text—one that shows the changes (a copy with MS Word Track Changes on), and one that incorporates all of the changes made.
These are some of the books I have edited:
'The Shoebox' by Tracy Ploch
'Hiding in the Shade' by Kathryn Wiseman
'The Opposite Effect' by Steve Claydon
PS. I also hold a BA in English Language and Literature and currently teach IELTS (writing).
PS2. Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster dictionary WILL be used.
I really look forward to proofreading your book!
Emily :-)
