Have you ever?
Have you ever written something, then sent it out and later, when re-reading it, been completely mortified about a mistake you have made?
The more important the destination, the more mortifying that mistake is!
Do you ever?
Do you ever wonder what other people will think about your writing? Or are you unsure if you have all the apostrophes (‘s) in the right place?
Would you like to be sure that your book or other document is 100% accurate?
A proof reader that make your words sparkle
I help your words sparkle and shine so that you can achieve your goals. Especially if you are looking to publish a book, you will need it finished and slick before sending to a publisher or self-publishing. As I have been there before, I can help you with that in so many ways.
Is having a proof reader essential?
They say it is a golden rule that you should never proof read your own work but have a professional do it for you. The reason for this is because your brain will essentially read what it thinks should be on the page, not what is actually there. I can bear witness that this is indeed true! I was not aware of this rule when I commenced my work, so have slowly but surely retrained my brain to pick up even on the mistakes I make myself. I am, if I say so myself, very good at it.
