What I Provide
Mastery
Unlike spell-check software, I consider context and meaning.
I’m a certified Master Proofreader. You can have peace of mind that your words will shine.
Fresh Eyes
Even if you’re adept in grammar, you may overlook familiar mistakes in your own writing. As the final pair of eyes checking your document, I can catch it all.
My Services & Rates
Proofreading
I carefully comb through your document, checking for typos, grammar issues, noun/verb agreement, issues with homonyms, homophones, formatting, continuity, etc.
This is the final pass, and I will look closely for anything that may have been missed by spelling and grammar checkers or simple human error. Then, I will send you the file with suggested corrections, in red, and comments. You can go through it to accept or reject the suggestions.
Cost: $0.02 / word
Est. Turnaround Time: 1 workday per 15,000 words
(Expedited services available at $0.03 / word)
Proofreading + Light Editing
If, upon seeing a sample of your document, I find multiple sentences that may require restructuring, I may suggest proofreading with light editing.
This is a good option if many of your sentences run on or may be confusing to the reader. This option takes more time and effort, but the results are definitely worth it. Below is an example.
However, please note that I am not certified as an editor; I’m certified as a proofreader. That is why I will only do light editing. If you are unsure whether you are ready for a professional proofreader or a professional editor, I am happy to review a sample of your document so that we can discuss your needs.
Cost: $0.03 / word

Coming Soon: Transcript Proofreading
I am currently earning a certification for transcript proofreading, which is usually on behalf of court reporters. If this interests you, please check back in the coming months for more information.

N. Allgood
Businesswoman
“I needed to edit my father-in-law’s 60 pages of autobiographical stories in time for his memorial, but it was so full of style and grammar problems I knew that I wouldn’t have time. Press did a rush job but fixed practically everything. Now I have a version of my FIL’s stories I’m proud to share with extended family.”

“He found and corrected plenty of grammar mistakes in my text, while still preserving the idea of the story. All of the corrections were thoughtful, easy to understand and explained with comments if necessary. He was also happy to answer any questions during the process. All in all, a very thorough job…an easy recommendation.”
