Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Topic: Various
Tone: Other
Extensive research needed: no
Extra notes: I'm looking for a proofreader to build an ongoing working relationship with. I'm a copywriter and write lots of web copy for clients and would like to have someone I can send my work to to double check. It will be purely proofreading and tweaking SPAG rather than proper copy editing. I don't charge clients extra for proofreading as they expect it to be spot on so I'll be absorbing the cost in my own hourly rate.
I'm looking to pay £2 to check 1000 words. I realise this isn't the biggest budget but it really is a case of reading my work and checking it rather than making loads of amends as I like to think it's usually correct.
I will have 2 - 3 documents a week to send of around 2000 words so would be between 1-3 hours a week depending on my workload.
I'm only looking for native English speakers based in the UK.

Lauren,
As I'm sure you're aware, "reading" doesn't take significantly less time just because there are fewer errors. Given that you can peruse the hourlies here and see that most proofreaders charge $10-20 per 1,000 words, you may want to reconsider your budget if you're looking to hire a competent professional. Additionally, if you're not willing to respect the expertise of others, why should your clients respect yours?
Thanks. -
How is £2 per 2000 words an intermediate rate of pay? Do your research.

Hi there,
Just to confirm, what is your budget for 1-3 hours of work per week?
Thanks,
Shali
