Hi everyone! :mhk9U91:


I'm Alexa, and I've been proofreading for self-published authors for 8 years.
I've worked with hundreds of authors. You can find some of their testimonials on my website. Here are some screenshots of their posts as well.
I'm also a self-published author, so I know all about the struggle. Aside from proofreading, I can also give you writing advice. There's a FAQ on my website where you can read more.

Please use the website to contact me about proofreading - I'll need the details from the contact form.

Proofreading is $0.0025 per word.
First book is $0.002 per word.
Copy editing is $0.005 per word.

Hello, I don't know that I need someone to "proofread," as I understand the term. The books I have written are polished and ready for publishing. What I need is someone to make sure the books have continuity, essentially a Beta Reader to verify the books are written well and keep continuity. My opening novel is 86k words, and at your rate I have that calculated to $172. But if I don't need grammar or spelling checks, what's the rate for a beta read?
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

I could give you a discount then. Can you please email me via the website? I need the information from the form, plus the genres and word count for all the books.
