Proofreader Needed for Document Review
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
Wanted: a person who loves grammar and making corrections. My name is Toby Neighbors. I’m a full time novelist with over 120 books published. I’m seeking an enthusiastic proofreader to go through manuscripts looking for errors in grammar, spelling, missed words, and difficult sentence structure. I go over my manuscripts with Grammerly, but inevitably things get missed. I need a reliable proofreader who can read through the manuscript make minor changes, and return to me a clean copy. I typically write fast, and send my proofreader the manuscript in four sections. Each one is approximately 20k words. Once your work is complete I will send the manuscript to a panel of Beta readers who return it with any mistakes that slipped past you. I average about a book a month. I have a hard budget of $300 per manuscript (unless it goes over 100k words). I’m looking for someone who loves Sci-Fi but enjoys good stories in all genres. If that’s you, and you are interested in ongoing work, I would love to hear from you. I have attached a short sample of my latest book to give you an idea of what you’ll be working with. It is exactly what was sent to my previous editor.
