Hello, I would be happy to proofread your fiction book. Are there any unique spellings or capitalization in the manuscript that should be retained? Relevant Skills and Experience I’m a professional editor and proofreader with 36 years of experience, which includes proofreading fiction, nonfiction and self-help books, academic papers, business reports, websites and textbooks. I usually work using Microsoft Word with the Track Changes feature turned on. Last year I edited/proofread 27 books. My work is careful and thorough. My services include checking and correcting the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and sentence structure. Unlike some people, I will not just run your text through a software program, accept all the changes, and send it back to you. I do all the work myself. Proposed Milestones $622 USD - Correcting the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and sentence structure. Additional Services Offered $100 USD - Fixing sentences that are too long, hard to understand, or awkward. My work here at Freelancer.com has earned a 4.9/5 rating from my clients, as you can see at https://www.freelancer.com/u/jw010699.html. I also work at Upwork dot com and have earned a 100% Job Success Score and the Top Rated Award; these are shown on my Profile page at [login to view URL]~0143faf7dec1349591?viewMode=1. I would enjoy proofreading this fiction book for you, and hope to hear from you soon. Julie Webb jw010699 on Freelancer.com

Hello friend, welcome with your project. I have checked your requirements on this proofreading task and confident to deliver an error-free paper on time. Is it only about grammatical proofreading or do we need to modify the content as well? Does the reference section need any changes? Please reply to discuss more on your project. Also, provide the required reading materials/instruction sheet, if there is any. **Regular drafts will be provided. Thanks in advance.
