What is proofreading?

Proofreading is the final step in revising written communication before it goes to print or gets posted. It involves reading for typographical and grammatical errors and ensuring that style and word choices are consistent and appropriate for the intended audience. It is also important to look at visual elements such as layout, font sizes, spacing, formatting, and spelling consistency. This might seem like a lot of work, but proofreading will ensure your message is communicated loud and clear – with no embarrassing typos or factual blunders!

What will I proofread?

Some nonfiction books
Fiction books
Essays
Websites
Blog articles
Resumes
Magazines
Booklets, brochures, and marketing material
Training manuals and procedures

What are my prices?

Projects of 5,000 words or more: $0.020/word.
Projects less than 5,000 words: $22/hour.
Turnaround time depends on several different things, such as deadline, subject, and technicality.
I use the track changes feature in Microsoft Word to highlight the errors I’ve found, letting you easily review the changes I made and accept or reject them as you want. I also work with Google Docs & PDF files. Please let me know what you prefer!
I prefer using The Chicago Manual of Style, Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, and The Best Punctuation Book, Period. Let me know what your preferences are, and I will take them into account. If you have a style sheet or would like me to use a different reference manual, please tell me!

About Me

My name is Ashlyn Rose Fellman. I have a bachelor's degree in educational studies. I currently work as a library assistant part-time at my local, small public library in a little town called Priest River in North Idaho. I do a lot of office work, help patrons in any way I can, dust/straighten shelves, catalog items into our library database, and re-shelve books/items. I've been working there for five years now and am looking for something different. A future goal of mine is to become a freelance proofreader, along with scoping and transcription work. I just recently passed the "Proofread Anywhere" proofreading course, and I am starting the transcript proofreading course along with the Internet Scoping School. I am a diligent and hard worker who is always coming up with really good ideas for others. I pay extremely close attention to details and always proofread without realizing it—it comes naturally to me! English has always been my best subject, so this job fits like a glove!

If you need help with anything from grammar to spelling or anything else that involves editing or proofreading your text (or if you'd like to know more about what kind of rates I charge), please contact me today!
