As proofreader, my job is to: read your document

                                                            find the errors

                                                            mark the errors

                                                            return your document.

 

You don't have to worry that your work will be changed, paragraphs will be moved around, or that your work will be rewritten, reworded, or rearranged. The proofreader's job is not to comment on the plot, characters, dialogue, or where the action takes place. So just what will I do? As your proofreader, I will note errors in capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. I will watch for consistency and look for formatting errors. (But if something just does not make sense, or is confusing, I will bring it to your attention. Maybe a quick tweak is all you need.)

 

Services are offered using Microsoft Word. Markups and corrections will be completed with Word's "Track Changes" feature, and your project will be returned to you via email. Review the edits. You can accept or reject the suggested alterations with a quick click.

 

I do not offer services on materials containing offensive language, extreme violence, torture, erotica, or sexual assault.

 

Let me share with you some very recent work. These examples are from an author that has written more the eighteen books. Over one hundred million copies of his books have been sold. Several of his books are bestsellers; he has earned millions in royalties and advances. These samples are from one of his books:

         Published: When you study and learn, and take school seriously you may be called a bookworm, a geek, or a nerd, but                                       don't worry about those names.                                                                                                                                                                                             Spot On's recommendation: When you study and learn and take school seriously, you may be called a bookworm, a geek,                                  or a nerd, . . . .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Published: When they finally retired, the returned home to New York.                                                                                                                            Spot On's recommendation: When they finally retired, they returned home to New York.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Published: She walked out again to the same spot where she had fallen just a few minutes early.                                                                        Spot On's recommendation: She walked out again to the same spot where she had fallen just a few minutes earlier.

 

What did I do? I removed a comma, added a comma, corrected a misspelled word, and changed the form of an adverb. Tiny corrections like these can make a book so much better!
