Greetings! I'm a South African proofreader currently based in Guatemala. I've been working in the publishing industry since 2001 and work in most varieties of English, including UK and US English. My work is extremely thorough and because I truly engage with the text, I also pick up content issues (continuity errors, for instance). I am also very open-minded so potentially shocking content won't be a problem for me. I would love to work on this project with you and would be happy to do a sample proofread first, should you prefer. Looking forward to hearing from you! Kind regards Linell

Hello, I'm a native speaker from Ireland, and a professional freelance writer. A lot of my work is in proofreading and editing, and I actually completed a project similar to your one recently, editing and proofreading a horror movie script. The review can be seen from my profile. That text also contained adult content, which would be no problem for me. I can ensure that your novel is completely free of errors. If there are any sentences that should be rephrased slightly for structure, I will include notes in the margins explaining the reasons for editing the sentence. The document you receive will also show all of the changes in coloured font, which can be removed by selecting "accept changes". I can send you samples of multiple documents which I have edited to demonstrate this method. All the best, Conor
