Hello,
I'd love to proofread your novel! My name is Kathleen and I'm a professional editor, proofreader, and author. I work with both fiction and nonfiction. Examples of past work edited and/or proofread include books, novels, articles, website content, short stories, video game scripts, and more. Genre's of books I've edited include fantasy, science fiction, horror, women's fiction, romance, memoir, and more. Some of the things I edit for include grammar, tense, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, clarity, flow, word choice, consistency, formatting, and more as the manuscript may require. All edits are implemented using MS Word Track Changes and Comments features. If this is an issue I'd be happy to work around this.
My rate for proofreading is a 1/2 a cent per word. At 80,000 words, your work would come to a total of $400. I can have the text proofread and back to you within two weeks. If you need this sooner just let me know and I'd be happy to help.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if you'd like any additional information.
Warm Regards,
Kathleen Price
