NOTE: these rates are not set in stone and are only an average for this editor. The actual rate applicable to your document will depend on the depth of the edit, the quality of the writing, the topic matter, the proximity of the deadline, the length of the document and several other factors.
From childhood until now, I have been a proofreader at heart. At age eight, when I received letters from my pen pals, I leapt at them with a red pen. Throughout high school, I was widely known as a "grammar nazi" of sorts, always correcting those around me. In college, I put this passion to work by studying English and earning my Bachelor's degree. Shortly after meeting the man who would eventually become my husband, I proofed and helped edit his senior thesis, which was subsequently well-received by his professors. (We were engaged shortly thereafter!)
When I, an unbiased third party, review your work, I will be able to catch slips, errors, and nonsensical mishaps of verbiage that you might ordinarily miss. The reason for this is that, when you reread your own writing, your brain automatically fills in the bits that do not make sense and corrects them in your mind--but not on paper! Your eyes see what they want to see, and your brain converts what it receives into what you know you meant to write.
Careless errors that may seem inconsequential could ruin a good piece of writing, or worse yet, an opportunity. Save yourself the hassle, embarrassment, and consequences of the small mistakes in your writing. Let me save you the trouble! Put my degree to work for you. I guarantee your satisfaction.
