Frances J.

I am an experienced and thorough proofreader. I proofread for grammatical mistakes, spelling, punctuation errors, incorrect word usage, white space, inconsistent formatting, graphic/picture caption agreement, and verb/noun agreement. Proofreading is the final step before publishing and after editing. I am expert in MS Word, but I also work in PDF using iAnnotate. I use the Chicago Manual of Style guide. For projects exceeding fifty-thousand words I generate and submit a style sheet. I can proofread any piece, large or small, at a rate of about three thousand words per hour. My next-day turnaround is max nine thousand words per client. Two-day turnaround—max eighteen thousand words. Three-day turnaround—max 22,500 words. Four-day turnaround—max twenty-seven thousand words. One-week turnaround—max 120,000 words.
