Proofreader needed - 3-4 months - 560 000 words

Completed Posted 3 years ago Paid on delivery
Completed Paid on delivery

Hi,

I'm looking for a US/UK-based proofreader for a book I was writing as a hobby for some time now. This is my first book and I'm not a native English speaker. I'm based in Warsaw, Poland so all communication will be done via mail/Zoom.

Here are a few details:

- Non-fiction / positive psychology / self-help genre.

- The book is primarily targeted at the US market (US-English).

- 4 drafts are already completed so no corrections in terms of book content should be needed.

- 780 A4 pages / About 4000 - 4800 characters per page / 560 000 words in total.

- I'd like to have an agreed price for one page to fully control costs.

- I'll also need invoices for tax purposes.

- I'd like to get done 8-10 pages per day - about 90-day commitment.

What I need:

- I'm not a native English speaker so you can expect a bit more work on my text.

- No need for text formatting.

- Grammar & styling corrections needed.

- Understanding check - if some sentences are not clearly understandable they should be corrected as well. I'll handle corrections larger than a few sentences, so in such cases, only info about those will be needed.

- The book should be ready for publication.

Later I'll send a book sample where you'll be able to judge how much work is really needed to get the text publish-ready & we'll agree on the final price.

Kind regards,

Jan
