A highly experienced proof reader and copy editor with a First Class Honours degree in English Language and a published author of literacy education books, you can be fully assured of my technical ability and credentials.

I completed “online continuing education certificate of course completion - Proofreading and Copyediting 101.

To provide top notch quality proofread, I need to take up to 1/2 days to research your topics then write. It will take around 3- 4 days to complete the project successfully.

I am a highly-skilled writer who has strong visual awareness, exemplary grammar and spelling knowledge, and the ability to analyze and modify. When it comes to missing links and correcting errors, look no farther. Remember, your content could be a first impression. If you send out material that is riddled with misspellings, grammatical errors, and wrong information, you aren’t going to be presenting a good image of your business. Here is the summary what you have requested. Task:proof an instructional book Short summary : an instructional book proofreading Proposed Deadline: 5 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher
