********************Closed************************ ********

I am just putting my finishing touches on a project. Now I need someone who is good with grammar and all those other things I don't pay attention too to (<-- is that right?) take a look at it and make some corrections.

It is a 55 page ebook. Let me know who is available and wants to help out.

I am open to paying for your time so just let me know.

Only reply if you can actually do this for me and get back to me in 24 hours.

Thanks,
Jason

    Jason,

    I would be glad to help you out. I am currently unemployed and thus have a lot of time on my hands. I am good with grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. and have rewritten a few eBooks over the last month.

    What format is the ebook in? i.e. Microsoft word, .rtf, pdf, etc.?

    As far as payment, I am not sure what the going rate for this is but we can talk and come up with a mutual agreement.

    Todd

    p.s. I don't have enough posts yet in order to PM so we will have to converse via email for now. You can reach me at tcknaus @gmail.com

    p.p.s if you send me the ebook by tomorrow morning I should be able to have it back to you by late morning or early afternoon. I am tied up over the weekend however so if you don't get it to me until late Friday I probably wouldn't be able to do anything with it until Monday morning.

          Hey Harvey,

          As a professional proofreader myself, I may contact you in the future for subcontracting work. I'm assuming you're available. []

              If you were a PROFESSIONAL proofreader (as you have stated) then why would you hire someone that does not know how to spell????

              Did you not read my post where he mis-spelled two words in only two sentences (let me rephrase that, 2 words out of 8)??? :confused:

              I can only guess that he was in a hurry to make his post, but, in doing so, made some spelling mistakes in the process. Therefore, will he make the same mistakes in the future when doing your work under pressure?

              Something to think about. Or, is this just a one-off?

              Harvey?????

              You are entitled to defend yourself here. I actually welcome your input into your faux paux!
              I can only assume that you didn't realize Harvey's post was a joke? As was mine. A little levity never hurt anyone. []

    I would have done it for you, but I'm glad someone who needs the work is doing it. By the way, "too" SHOULD be "to" .

      Sal,

      I figured there might be someone who would be willing to do in exchange for the product.

      We discussed it and Todd was compensated for his time.

      He did a way better job than I was expecting.

      A+++++

    Jason,

    WOW! Thanks for the A++++ Plug! I always aim to please and do the best job I can.

    Now if I can just figure out this Internet/Affiliate Marketing/Website flipping thing I will be in good shape ;-)

    <shameless plug> seriously though, I do pride myself in doing the best job I can - so if anyone is need of any service please drop me an email (tcknaus @gmail.com)
    </ shameless plug>

    Now that my shameless plug is out of the way, let me give one to Jason (stayfocused) - He has a FANTASTIC book coming out that will blow a lot of you away. I don't want to give anything away just yet but he has a great idea that I don't think anyone has thought about.....well, I'm sure others have thought about "How To Do It"......but Jason has figured it out.

    Stay tuned.....I'm sure Jason will let us know when everything is ready to go.....
