3 P's-Please Pay a Proofreader! (858 hits)


I can't tell you how many books and articles I have read, many by prominent pastors and ministers, with misspelled words, horrible grammar, poor punctuation and even lines of text missing! God put me here on this earth for 2 things: 1. To praise and worship. 2. TO PROOFREAD! LOL! (Isn't it awesome when you truly find your purpose and walk in it? Ahhhh!) But as I was saying, why reinvent the will when God has already created everything you need. I take personal ownership when I edit someone else's work because it is also a reflection of me and how tedious I edit and proofread a piece. You may not think you need an editor or proofreader. You may think that cousin with an English degree can do it for you. Or you may even attempt to do it yourself. But after being in Journalism for 12 years now, I can tell you, I WON'T EVEN PROOFREAD MY OWN STUFF! I'm sure I would miss something as I'm always so certain of myself. But when I want to be really sure, I get one of my fellow proofreader friends to give it a second eye. I said all that to say, Please Pay a Proofreader. It could make the difference in excellent work and work that is just alright. When you pay a proofreader/editor, you invest in the excellence in your work. Don't let people lie to you and tell you that your book/paper/manuscript can never be error free. God created people like me to get it to the level of perfection. We all do something for Him, many of us write for Him! Why not write in excellence? With all of that said, please visit my website at www.soitiswritten.net for more information on my background and even to view some of my work samples. I EVEN OFFER FREE EDITING! (See website for more details.) And even if you don't choose me as your personal proofreader and editor, please choose one! It's so very crucial to your success! God bless you!
