Copy editing/proof reading for self publishing

[Lara]

Hi all,

I've have been published by small presses but I also self publish. My self publishing doesn't sell much and are mostly for fun. However I suck at proofreading and despite my best efforts to clean up the manuscript I usually leave a lot of errors. I have a little bit of cash to pay someone to proofread but all the services I have seen online cost way more than I'm willing to pay.

Do you have any suggestions for cheap ways to proofread? (And yes, I read the novel repeatedly, outloud and backwards :-)

Thanks,
Lara

What are you willing to spend? Are you just looking for someone to find grammar mistakes & typos?

Around $25. And yes, just grammatical mistakes and typos.
