Hi Steven!
I could make an exception, seeing how awesome your first book looks, but only at regular price. It would be $200, even with the 'new author' discount. Huge books like this take a lot of time, so I'll have to move 3 or 4 authors to find time for it :)
But if you're still interested, please do submit it via my website as soon as you're ready.

Excellent. I'll get back to you soon via your site. Still getting together a working draft. Probably going to be another week or two.

Actually, I'd split this in two, so you could pay the second half after you've seen what I found in the first 100K. It is a big project, after all :)

I recently added Alexa as a second editor to go over all 12 of my books. Not only are her rates great, her work exceptional, but she also put up with my ridiculously tight-time lines (and me as well).

Two thumbs up, highly recommend.

To everyone who's been waiting for the special offer, here it is! Submit your book for proofreading today and pay only $50, no matter how big it is.

Please check this post for more details and head over to my website to submit your book.

Please notice that the special offer is for when I have a little free time in between regular orders, so I can only give you an approximate time frame (about 7 days). You'll still have to send me the book and payment right away so I can start reading it as soon as I have the chance. Everything else will be the same, and I'll do my best to help you find every single error in your manuscript.

Good luck! ;)

It's been a busy month so far, but I've got just enough time for another special offer! Please read the rules before you submit ;)

Alexa was one of two proofreaders for my recent book, and I was happy with her work. It still blows my mind that after a long edit and multiple passes that things are still missed, but Alexa found them. She was quick and easy to work with, and I look forward to using her services again on the next book!

Hi,
Are you still available for proofreading? I am looking for someone to proofread my 87,000 word story ASAP!  It's already been edited, I just need that one last check.
Thanks

If it's urgent, I can proof your book after the one I'm reading now. It'll take 3-4 days. I've checked out your sample, and it looks clean enough. Please submit your book via the website, and I'll get back to you right away! :)

I have a question. How would you feel about leaving comments as you proofread? Not changing things as an editor might do, but pointing out things that you think need some work?

You mean like a beta reader? Proofing included, or just critique? When I proofread, I always point out plot inconsistencies or anything weird, really.

Just a proofreader who leaves notes as well. I suppose that kind of is a bit like a beta reader who proofreads.
I'm just sadly trying to find someone who can do what my last one did. He used to leave humerous comments about my plot holes and when someone did things out of character. That sort of thing.

Oh, sure! When it comes to books, I'm pretty critical, so if there's anything even slightly strange or silly, I can't ignore it. I just usually keep these things to myself :D
Btw, your monster post on keywords changed my life :-* ;D (and 3 more authors').
