Proof-reader Service

I'm a stickler for spelling and sentence structure when I read anything, whether in a magazine or book, on a Web site, or even in memos at work. Yeah, I'm THAT person.

I can tell you I have unsubscribed from newsletters, left blogs, and left Etsy stores where there were typos. I think if you are going to be professional, you should do everything in your power to present a professional look to your site or publication.

I'm not a professional proof-reader or copy editor, but I know my tenses and that whole their/there/they're thing. I can't "sell" this service on Etsy since it's, well, a service, but I can offer it here on my li'l ole blog. :)

I still have that whole Day Job thing going, but I'd like to test drive this proof-reader service idea. So, for an introductory rate of $5.95, I will proof-read your blog post, or Etsy shop announcement, or Etsy item post, or anything along those lines. Think: one page.

Here's how it works:

1. Send me an email that you're interested.
2. I'll send you a Pay Pal invoice for $5.95.
3. Once the invoice has been paid, you'll send me your text.
4. How:
   Not published yet? Send the text to me via email.
   Already published? Link me via email.
5. I will send you back the corrected text.

Turn-around: 48 hours during the week, 24 hours on weekends.

Obligatory disclaimers:

1. I am not a professional proof-reader, so it may not pass the AP Stylebook rules 100%, but it will be very, very close.
2. You can question my "fixes", but only once, maybe twice. After that we can agree to disagree, but no refunds.
3. If you have no typos, I'll gladly tell you so, but there are no refunds.
4. I will not compose your post or shop announcement for you. See: Day Job.

I thank you for helping out! If you have any ideas how I could make this better (work more smoothly), I'm open to feedback, of both the positive and negative (constructive) varieties. Just send me an email!

Thanks!
