My Experience:

Recently, I completed the six-week Print and Digital Editing Immersion workshop offered through Simon Fraser University.
I am in my last semester of University to obtain my Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in English (focus on creative writing), where I worked for two years experience as a teaching assistant editing and providing feedback on student essays.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I have been a volunteer editor on another site. I'm moving here and I'm looking for new authors to assist. My strength is refining language for correctness, clarity, ease of reading, reducing word counts, etc. By nature I enjoy teaching, and I prefer working with newer but committed authors. Please contact me if you are interested.

Starting my bachelors in English with a focus on technical and creative writing at GCU! I read 500 pages a day and enjoy catching mistakes. I would like to trade proofreading for letters of recommendation to build my portfolio.

Hi Heather, would you mind reading my 220 page novel? It's a spiritual fiction thriller. Thanks!

Hello Fellow Authors,

Getting a new release ready for 2020? On a tight budget? Have I got a deal for you…

I’m a self-published author and a former newspaper copy editor. Editing at the grammatical level has always been a strength of mine. But I find it’s tough to do on my own work, and much more fun on other people’s.

Therefore, I’m looking to hang out my shingle for copyediting and proofreading services. To help build my portfolio, I’m offering TWO free copyedits and TWO free proofreads to interested authors.

It’s first come, first served. All I ask in return is that you let me list your book on my website as part of my portfolio. So, more exposure for you. If you’d be willing to add a testimonial, that would be great, but strictly optional on your part.

I’ll take most genres EXCEPT erotica/steamy. No graphic sex scenes and no violence, please. No manuscript is too short, so if you’ve got a short story (or two or three) or novella, that’s perfectly okay.

If you’re interested, email me at the following: karen@kmtediting.com

Thanks!

Hi! I'm looking to start freelance editing and just launched my site. I am looking to do some editing for free to build my portfolio. My B.S. is in business, so I would greatly appreciate any chance to add to my portfolio.

I am looking for experience in developmental edits, copy editing, proofreading. My preference is fiction, but I won't turn down experience in any category or genre.

The only thing I really want in return is honest feedback. It would be great to be able to share your book and a testimonial on my website, but it's not required.

I am looking to do 5 of each of the following:
--Developmental Editing
--Copy Editing
--Proofreading

Please send me an email if you're interested: jeclymer@yahoo.com.

Hi everyone!

I am a recent college graduate who is looking to begin building a writing portfolio, and dive deeper into the world of freelance writing and editing. I have a degree in Literature with a Creative Writing concentration and had a lot of workshops that allowed me to develop the skills needed for this field. I want to develop my proofreading and editing skills more and I really pay attention to the grammatical aspects of a manuscript. I will also edit academic work as well! I've been an avid reader my whole life and would love to have a career down the line where I can combine my love for reading and for writing.

Don't hesitate to send me an email at alexamcternan@gmail.com if you're interested!

Hi! I'm starting my career as a freelance proofreader and would like to offer my services in order to create a portfolio.

I have completed Publishing Training Centre's Basic Proofreading course with Merit and the Proofreading Progress course from the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading with 8.7/10.

After this, I've worked with a mentor for a few months where I had the opportunity to edit real documents of different types: leaflets, educational books, biographies, travel guides, etc.

Please visit my website www.reviewmytext.com for more information about me and my services. My email address is cristina.magalhaes@reviewmytext.com. Get in touch!

Thank you.

Hello, everyone! I'm a certified proofreader who would love to work with you! Feel free to respond to this post if you're interested!

Hello all, I’m here to offer free copyediting on manuscripts up to 3,000 words in length.

I completed my copyediting certificate in Dec 2021 through UCSD, and I’m looking to gain more experience editing, especially editing genre fiction (sci-fi, romance, mystery, adventure, etc.) and creative nonfiction.

Copyediting includes revising grammar, punctuation, spelling, and word usage errors, suggesting edits to clarify awkward phrasings, and checking the manuscript for issues of continuity/consistency.

Disclaimer: I’m unable to work on anything that contains graphic descriptions of violence or gore. I just don’t have the stomach for it.

Please contact me at KristopherBallard@gmail.com or message me here if you're interested in some free copyediting. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi all, I am a professional librarian and I also edit and proofread on the side. I'm willing to offer my services for free in exchange for a review on fiverr. I mainly work with fantasy, romance, and science fiction, but also adore working with poets and creative nonfiction writers. Message me directly on goodreads and we can talk more about your project!

In November, I celebrate Transgender Awareness Month by providing free feedback on agent query letters for trans and non-binary writers!

If you’re a trans or non-binary person, including anyone who feels they fall under those umbrella terms, you can get free agent query letter feedback just by emailing me your cover letter template (and synopsis, if you like).

While every agent query letter should be personalised to the agent or publisher you’re submitting too, it’s recommended to save yourself time by having some kind of template. I’ll provide feedback on whatever letter you send me, critiquing your letter to improve it by:

- checking the amount of words you’ve written
- suggesting ways of strengthening your letter
- using my knowledge and experience of cover letters to find weak points that could be left out
- proofreading what you’ve written so no typos distract from your words

With your synopsis, I’ll proofread what you’ve written to eliminate typos, spelling mistakes, punctuation and grammar errors, and check the formatting if you provide it in a .docx file.

Want to just send me the synopsis without your cover letter? Go for it! Want to send me multiple cover letters? Feel free to!

Worried about the feedback you’ll receive? I promise, the way I provide feedback, you’ll feel sandwiched by positivity amongst my constructive criticism, and you don’t even have to change anything you don’t want to. This is a positive, inclusive query review experience.

To get feedback, email info@hnossproofreads.co.uk and tell me about yourself: what you’re writing, what you’ve written, and whatever else you’d like.
