Hire the Best Proofreaders in Arizona

My name is Alyssa, and I love proofreading. I have always had an eye for spelling and grammatical mistakes. I had seven years of experience in marketing and copywriting. My work included writing and reviewing copy for social media posts, websites, blogs, and email newsletters. Now, I am seeking freelance proofreading opportunities. I have completed the Proofread Anywhere course and am proficient in Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS), MLA, and APA styles. If you or your business has a style guide already, I’m happy to follow it. Allow me to help you prepare your book manuscript, documents, marketing materials, and any other writing work ready for publication! I would be more than happy to help you with your next project.

Welcome to my page :) I'm Veronica, a graduate of the University of Arizona with over 9 years of experience in helping authors get their manuscripts, academic reports, and blog posting ready for readers. I offer: ✔ Developmental editing & editorial assessment (plot, pacing, structure) ✔ Line editing for clarity, voice, and dialogue ✔ Proofreading for grammar, consistency, and polish ✔ Beta reading with detailed reader-perspective feedback Whether you need a full editorial assessment before querying agents, a close line edit to sharpen your prose, or a final proofread before publication, I tailor my approach to where your manuscript is in its journey. My goal is always the same: to make sure your story, pacing, and characters work together so your book is as strong and engaging as possible.

Hello! I am a professional novelist, ghostwriter, developmental/copy editor, and medical technical writer with over thirteen years of full-time experience on Elance/Upwork. I also do Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) formatting for Amazon’s self-publishing program, to include images/photos. Writing as "Janeen O'Kerry," I am the author of twenty different titles. These include historical and contemporary romance; science fiction; fantasy; and non-fiction. I did the writing, editing, formatting, and cover selection on all of my own books,and you can see them simply by searching "Janeen O'Kerry" in the Amazon store. I will, of course, provide a free sample proofread, edit, or ghostwrite of about 500 to 1000 words. I am a full-time writer and editor and always open to ongoing projects. I will sign an NDA if you wish. Outside of a standard built-in grammar checker, I do not use artificial intelligence (AI) software in any part of my writing, editing, or research process. ***All ghostwriting, editing, and proofreading jobs include the following: A manuscript that is fully edited, polished, and ready to upload as an e-book.

The formatted manuscripts will be sent to you as .docx and .EPUB for the e-book and as a .docx and a .pdf for the paperback/hardback. Both e-book and paperback in the same project: $0.005 per word, plus images. Paperback/hardback alone: $0.035 per word, plus images. E-book alone: $0.0025 per word, plus images.

A short 140-character piece for advertising and social media posts. $40.00 per book includes both of these. $25.00 to edit an existing blurb into both of these. Medical Writing & Editing Articles and information for your website, e-book, blog, or patient handouts. I have extensive experience with writing and editing for medical websites and e-books.

Medical Writing: Five cents per word. Medical Editing: Three cents per word. Allow me to help make your book into one that will have lasting appeal and continue to sell for years to come, as my own books do. Thank you! I look forward to working with you.

The brain of a data detective, the pen of a journalist, and the instincts of a compliance lawyer. For 40+ years, I have worked as a writer, researcher, and editor across technology, finance, policy, operations, HR, healthcare, and regulated business environments. Clients and readers include C-suite executives, policymakers, engineers, academics, legal and compliance teams, and subject matter experts who need clear, credible content from complex material. With degrees in Journalism (BA), Behavioral Psychology (MS), and Law (JD), I bring a disciplined approach to research, structure, language, and evidence. My work is strongest when the subject is complex, the reader expects substance, and the final product needs analysis, judgment, and a compelling argument. I am comfortable working under tight turnaround, as long as we agree on scope and deadline. Projects maybe structured hourly or on a fixed-fee basis, depending on research depth, review cycle, and level of polish required. AI tools may support organization, synthesis, and workflow speed, but the judgment, source review, structure, voice, and final writing remain mine. ~Professional Highlights~ B2B Content Writing and Thought Leadership • Long-form articles, white papers, reports, guides, website copy, executive summaries, and thought leadership for business, technology, finance, healthcare, AI, SaaS, and policy audiences • Published work for The Financial Brand, Electronics360, Aura, and executive-facing business outlets • Business book support and senior-level content focused on growth, strategy, workforce intelligence, revenue systems, and operational performance Research, Analysis, and Market Intelligence • Market research, competitor analysis, workforce trends, regulatory developments, benchmarking, and source synthesis • Qualitative and quantitative research across technology, finance, policy, HR, healthcare, SaaS, and enterprise operations • Clear analysis built from raw notes, expert interviews, technical materials, datasets, reports, and incomplete drafts Technical, Legal, and Compliance Writing • Legal content, compliance materials, policy papers, internal guidance, and formal business writing • RFPs, SOWs, SLAs, technical manuals, user guides, implementation materials, and customer-facing documentation • Contract-adjacent, regulatory, and technical documentation shaped by governance, risk, auditability, and operational constraints Editing, Proofreading, and Content Quality • Developmental editing, substantive editing, line editing, copy editing, proofreading, and final polish • Editing for logic, structure, rhythm, tone, clarity, precision, and reader usefulness • Fact-checking, citation review, source validation, terminology control, style-guide alignment, and publication-ready cleanup
