$10-30 USD

Paid on delivery
Need a good proofreader (and editing) for Regency romance and Scottish Highlander romance stories. Stories are 15,000 to 20,000 words. You will need to correct misspellings, make sure punctuation and grammar are correct (also past/present tense used correctly, make sure story stays in 3rd person, etc.). You will also need to make sure the story flows well, the plot reads consistent, and character names/places are consistent throughout the story. You will also need to spot and correct historical inaccuracies. For the first story, your work will be checked before you are paid to be sure the work was done as instructed in this job description. This can be ongoing work for the right person. Must be fluent in American English. In your reply, let me now whether you have proofed Regency, Scottish Highlander or both genres. If neither, I need to know that.

Believe it or not, as a writer I take pride in my editing and proofreading skills—all the way to the point where I actually truly enjoy doing it. So, when you give me a task that involves editing, rewriting, or proofreading, I can guarantee that I will take it very seriously, leaving no traces of mistakes behind. Being that I have been writing professionally for years, I have also edited/proofread, or otherwise rewritten my fair share of documents, and I do not accept anything but perfection in my texts. I can track changes and send a separate clean file, as well as work with your comments and suggestions until the document is where we need it to be. Regards, Max Finley.

Editing is the process writers use to catch errors typical of their own writing. Because editing focuses on problems that are particular to an individual writer and that occur again and again effective editing requires that you know the types of errors you typically make and that you have specific strategies for finding those errors. Proofreading is the final stage, focuses on random goofs. The final draft has been corrected, but sometimes because of a computer error, fatigue, carelessness, or oversight, mistakes are still present. It is important to go through the paper one last time to catch these random groofs. As a freelance writer, I’m very much experienced in editing/rewriting/proofreading. Regards, James Franklin
