Proofreader as a Coach (Special Offer Included)

See on Amazon

Introduction

Proofreading costs money because proofreaders like to eat, and writers are often short on money. This is the problem. What is a possible solution? 

Error Count

Experience tells me I will find at least 60 errors for each 1,000 words I proofread. Most of these are not trivial errors, and many of these errors can earn the dreaded one-star review for grammar, spelling, and punctuation. How much is it worth to avoid the one-star review?

If a book is 50,000 words long, I will almost certainly find at least 3,000 errors. Let me rephrase that. I will almost certainly find the same two or three errors repeated 1,000 times! The last sentence hints of the solution.

Figure out how to eliminate errors before repeating them 1,000 times! If a writer can eliminate their common errors, then their book may be good enough.

The High Cost of "Whole Book Proofreading"

The writer has two choices. My current rate is $3.99/1000 words. This includes proofreading, in-depth editing, and explanations of errors. The cost for 50,000 words would be almost $200. Should writers pay this much to eliminate thousands of errors?

It doesn't matter if they should. What matters is if they can, and many cannot.

The Solution

Are you seeing it yet? 

If a writer completes their 50,000-word book before hiring a proofreader, then they are likely to have about 3,000 errors. The writer CANNOT find these errors because they don't know the source of the errors. 

So what's the solution?

The solution is clear! Hire a proofreader after you have written 1,000 words; learn your common errors and don't make them again! 

Special Offer

Purchase a copy of Write, Edit, Revise and study the book. I wrote this book in simple language, so it is easy to understand. According to one of the reviews, maybe I made it too simple. You will learn how to construct sentences almost without effort. 

When you are ready, email me a copy of the purchase confirmation from Amazon, and I will proofread 1,000 words! We can work together to find your common errors, so you don't make them again.

If you hurry, you may catch the price at $2.99. I did just raise it to $3.99. 

PS: If you use Kindle Unlimited to buy the book, the offer is limited to 500 words. Please read at least 10% of the book, so I get paid something.

(Note: This offer will last at least one week. Afterward, it may end at any time.)
