    Hello

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by TheFinalCopy, Dec 6, 2017.

    Hello All,

    Thanks for having me.

    I am a copyeditor/proofreader in the process of expanding my résumé. I would like to add (fiction/nonfiction/various genres or work) to my experience. I will proofread a chapter of anything you are writing at no charge. Materials should be no shorter than 10 pages and not longer than 30. I will return pages to you with corrections in Microsoft Word, tracking changes. In exchange, I ask that you allow me to add your name and the title of your work to my résumé. I will not plagiarize your work or share it with anyone else. Thank you

    Who's going to edit the other 300 pages?

    You'll have the market cornered on partially edited manuscripts. I'd hire you in a second with those credentials.

    What have you edited previously if you haven't checked those boxes yet?

    That's a relief.

    I’m humbled you probably took the same amount of time to critique my post then I did to write it. That’s making someone feel welcomed, thank you.

    I’m a technical document copyeditor and Quality Assurance professional. I review manuals, drawings and other business-related material. I have brief experience reviewing my own short shorties, but not much more than that.

    I want to gain experience by doing a chapter at a time. It’s for free.
