You had me at gore, dark and strong language! :) I'd love to deliver a professional proofread of your YA novel and make sure that the language flows perfectly on every level. I've actually just finished proofreading a screenplay for a film, and this sounds like the ideal next project for me to work upon. My name is Danny, and I'm a UK professional editor and published author. I spent 7 years working for an Australian company in the roles of Chief Marketing Officer, Blog Editor, Copywriter, Proofreader and reluctant sandwich-Fetcher. My own 552-page book ‘Midnight at The Pylon Cafe’ was first published in 2010, and I have a new book tentatively lined up for publication later this year. Some of my most recent freelance commissions have included crafting the content for an author’s new website, composing creative poetry for greeting cards, writing children’s letters from Santa, and so much more that I can’t squeeze inside this tiny pitch! Pop over to my website for a portfolio of some of my recent work, along with lots of other bits and pieces. [login to view URL] It would be lovely to hear back from you. Danny
