Proof-reader for Non-duality / Oneness book! - Joyful Soul - 10-10-2018
Hi Everyone,
I am looking for an experienced native English speaking proof-reader. I am in the process of writing a book on the subject of Non-duality / Oneness as well as creating a website for it.
Being dyslexic and making silly mistakes from time to time, I would like to have someone to proof-read my copy as to ensure that it's free of any grammar and spelling mistakes.
This is not a paid offer but if you are interested in the topic of non-duality / oneness and would like to be involved in a fun project... get in touch.

If you are using Microsoft Word, I highly recommend the Grammarly software.
I fixed 3000+ mistakes in my book with that.
It costs a little, but it isn't much.

Hi Indigo,
Long time no speak... thanks for your recommendation.
Currently, I have a free account with Grammarly and I am very happy with it.
I would prefer to have someone read it, however, if I won't get any response I might consider it.
By the way, how is your book doing?

I had to stop promoting it because the marketing team was many thousands of dollars and didn't work out.
I may have another publisher, but have to hear back from a lady.
I don't know if publishers will take works that are self-published.
A literary agent once told me they don't. But I don't know if they can speak for all publishers.
I see great potential in the book.
I was writing a second and third but stopped for some reason. Maybe I should get back to them.
I'd help, but I'm not an experienced editor. I usually have others edit them on Freelancer or something.
I had like over 10 revisions to my first book and like 5 editors.

Hi there again,
Sorry to hear about the marketing team, etc.
There are more and more books self-published these days so don't get disheartened.
If you feel a motivation to keep working on the other books... just give it a go.
Regarding the proof-reader, if it's meant to happen it will happen.
Take care,
Monika
