I have over 20 years' experience in proofreading and editing. For the past five years, I have assisted a self-published American author in editing his sci-fi and fantasy novels and short stories.
Apart from fixing typos, punctuation, grammar, and inconsistencies, I offer comments and suggestions for improvement.
I work slowly, but diligently, to ensure that the final product is simply good to read.
I am fine working on files in .doc, .docx or .odt formats. I use the 'track changes/record' option, with in-text suggestions/corrections [using square brackets] to ensure that even the smallest edits (an added/deleted comma, e. g.) are not missed out when accepting/rejecting the changes. A sample page of my work will be provided upon request.
Payments are negotiable, and I am fine with a one-off payment after satisfactory completion of the work, rather than hourly fees.
Thank you.
Best regards,
S. P.
PS: I am a writer myself, though I haven't published my work, save one short.
