If you need a beta reader or a proofer, here I am!
Proofreading: The final stage of the editing process. To ensure your book is ready to hit the presses (or the digital publisher), a proofreader will step in and double-check everything. They’ll make sure that your book is free from spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and other issues that could spoil a reader’s enjoyment of your writing.
Proofreading
Paid service
Proofreading is the final step before formatting and uploading your story to be available for sale.
​
I trained myself to proofread for myself and my fellow writing friends years ago and then turned it into a freelance side business. I have two long term customers that I have been working with for the past six years and recently have included new customers.
​
I work quickly and am able to hit your deadlines whether you are on an accelerated timetable or not. I am also able to work in either Microsoft Word or Google Docs, whichever is preferred by the client.
​
If you are interested, here is a sample contract/invoice. My email is on it and that is my preferred method of contact.
Beta reading
Free or barter service
A beta reader is a test reader of an unreleased work of literature or other writing, giving feedback with the angle of an average reader to the author about remaining issues.
​
Beta reading is one of my joys. I love being able to read a new work and help the author make it even better.
​
I do not charge for beta reading but will often barter for my own beta readers. Either way, I want to read your story! Here is a form if you are in need of a beta reader!
“In the past, Sheri has helped me when I have had an urgent deadline and always hit the dates she promised to send me the work.
Recently, she carried out a proofread on a story in an anthology, and I received an email from a new to me reader to state that she had been very impressed with whoever had edited and proofed the story as it was flawless.”
