What you get with this Offer
I am a friendly native British English speaker with an excellent track record in proofreading novels, short stories, articles and publicity material. I have worked with theatre companies, online writers and published novelists, as well as many people who just want to improve their writing in general. While I am new to PeoplePerHour, please read my endorsements from people I have worked with previously.
I am happy to simply proofread and correct your material with a fresh pair of eyes, but I will also provide feedback to help you improve your writing, both grammatically and stylistically, if required. I am used to working with less confident and non-native writers, and will help you to say exactly what you intended in a clear and readable manner.
I have a reputation for patience and attention to detail, and I am very good at spotting potential factual errors, or inconsistencies in your plot or descriptions
Your file will be returned with trackable edits, allowing you to see clearly any changes and comments I have made. If you are unfamiliar with the system, I can send you a helpful link. I can also send you a clean, finished copy, which you can use as is, if you are happy with all the revisions I have made.
If you have a project of a different length, please check to see if I have another offer that may be more relevant to you, or contact me for a quote.

Charlotte M.
Wandsworth, United KingdomLydia did a thorough check on spelling and grammar and her comments as to why she made the changes were useful. I was expecting a bit more advice about how to restructure a paragraph that perhaps had the same or similar idea within it but I did not specify this before I agreed to the job. Lydia turned around my paper within a few hours and communication with her was very smooth. Thank you.
