Final proofreading (novel) - 29/08/2016 05:14 EDT

€30-250 EUR

Posted over 7 years ago

€30-250 EUR

Paid on delivery
A novel needs to be proofread. The text has been beta read, edited, and proofread many times by several people, so this is about a pair of fresh eyes to catch the last errors (punctuation, grammar, structures that disturb the "flow" or don't sound "native." You don't need to care about the plot, the characters, the formatting, or anything else.) American native speakers preferred. It's a psychological thriller with a dash of fantasy. There are 24 chapters with approximately 3,000-3,500 words/chapter. A professional proofreader needs about half an hour to check one chapter, so it'll take you approximately 12 hrs, 15 hrs max. I'd prefer to work in "blocks." Some are finished, some are still edited. Deadline for the project is mid-October. If we could start around mid-September, that would be great.

I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 117 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing, proofreading, and transcribing. In February this year I took on a role as the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, an online journal, a position to which I was invited by a Freelancer client. One of my earlier projects with Freelancer was to edit a 65,000-word science fiction novel, and the client was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer, and an article about me was published by Freelancer. My recent work has included proofreading a number of theses on a variety of subjects, as well as individual chapters of academic writing. For two years I was a copy editor for Elsevier Science Publishers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, rewriting text by authors who were not native English speakers. I have worked with individual clients to bring more than 20 books to publication and five of these clients have rehired me to work on further books. Having been a teacher of English in high school for four years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own.

I’m very interested in proofing your book. I'm not sure how you expect a thorough proofread of 3,000 words to be made in 30 minutes, but I will not rush through a document like that. It seems a little sloppy. However, working incrementally is favorable to me. I work in MS Word, correcting errors in punctuation, grammar, and spelling. I've had more than 20 years working with the English language in newspapers and college instruction, as detailed in my profile. Please contact me via this website’s message center and we will discuss the details of your documents. Cheers!
