Your budget of $5/1000 words is right up my lane.
I am a highly experienced proofreader and copy editor and you can be fully assured of my technical ability and credentials. The correct use of apostrophes, commas and grammar and those pesky spelling rules, that confuse everyone, might make you squirm but send your words to me and you won't believe how transformed your text will be.
I have many years of experience, and over the years, I have edited several eBooks, manuscripts, magazines, journal publications, website content, articles, and brochures.
I am happy to simply proofread (catch errors), but I also enjoy in-depth editing, which involves improving readability, offering suggestions and restructuring when necessary. If your project needs careful fact-checking and an eagle eye for eliminating typos and correcting spelling and grammatical errors, I would be happy to help. Hope to hear back from you. Cheers!
