Need a Proofreader?
Allow me to break character for a moment. Ahem...
I’m now offering to proofread manuscripts (short- and long-form fiction) on a freelance basis.
ABOUT ME: Many moons ago, I received a B.A. in English Literature from John Carroll University, where I was a member of the English honors society. Since then, I have acquired extensive professional experience copywriting, copyediting, and proofreading in the business world. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
Basically, I’m somewhat of a meticulous, persnickety, nitpicky, hawk-eyed bastard, and you WANT me to proofread your stuff.
Message me if you’re interested.
-Doug
P.S. To clarify, while I don’t mind doing some light copyediting here and there as a part of the proofreading process, I’m not looking to do full line editing or content editing at this time. But that could change, so if that’s what you’re looking for, we could talk about that too.

Oh, look. A couple more troll turds here. POOF!
Dude got CENSORED!
Hey Dooogie. Somebody's fucking up your blog again. The business shit on GR is absolutely brutal these days.

Yeah, this job desperate flunky must be angling for one of those paid jobs, like with Huffington Post or other noteworthy information distributors. You know, even if you're a complete jerk, if you censor everything, you can't be accused of doing anything wrong; and semi-colon, only a few right wing Infotards give a shit anyway.
To promote my freelance proofreading and editing services, I ran a contest in which I offered to edit the entire body of work of one writer for free. Well, after careful consideration, I’ve finally made my selection. Drum roll, please…
Congratulations, TradeWinds! You won, duuude!
One of the most basic tasks of an editor is to cut things that don’t belong, right? Well, in the case of your work, this should be relatively easy. In fact, I don’t need to look at any of your books to know EXACTLY what needs to go.
So here’s what I need you to do: DELETE EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU’VE EVER WRITTEN!
There, I’m done. Pretty good turnaround, huh, stupid? You’re quite welcome.
Sincerely,
Dr. Dig Doug McSmooth

I'm actually glad to hear of this. Assuming that you've not been dismissed from your landscaping job, this should mean you'll be writing fewer shithole stories.
And as long as you're deleting things, you might as well delete your Mr. Magoo-lookin' face too.

If I could see it, I might.
