So, with school beginning around this time for the majority of folks, I thought I’d put one of my few strengths as not just an English major but a general lover of essay-writing (wait, what-- no, you heard that right), and offer essay proofreading! Essay-writing is something many of my professors have told me I excel at; I’ve been told I write at graduate-student levels (while technically being in my second year of college) and have been recommended for my school’s honors program based on my essay-writing. And while I’m not perfect and do still make mistakes myself, I believe that I can truly help some people out who aren’t so confident in their writing and could use a second pair of eyes to look over their work!

I will proofread essays for:

Spelling errors

Grammar errors

Punctuation errors

Flow (e.g. paragraph breaks)

Repetition / Redundancy

etc.

Basically I’ll just read for anything I find that seems off and offer my suggestions on correction!!

* And you can feel free to let me know how detailed / nit-picky you’d like me to be, tbh.

So... What’s the catch?

Well... my bank account is struggling a lot right now, and beyond needing to afford college in the present, I’m desperately trying to save up money so that I can leave my current house-- which is a really toxic place for me that isn’t doing me many favors. I know a lot of us are struggling financially, and I won’t turn down a pal who’s really in need of some academic help, but I would infinitely appreciate, if in exchange for proofreading your essay, you were able to donate some money to my ko-fi account. Any money that I make through this venture will only be spent on college, grocery, and moving expenses, and nothing else.

Here is a rough guideline of costs:

1 - 4 page essays: $3 (ko-fi’s minimum)

5 - 8 page essays: $5

9 - 12 page essays: $8

13 - 20 page essays: $10

20+ page essays: let’s talk!

*** I am negotiable if you really need a proofreader and can’t match this guide!!

All I ask is that you link me to the essay via Google Docs, and make sure that I am able to add comments/suggestions. Due to the fact I work part-time and take 4 courses myself, please give me at least a week before the due date to read your essay, especially if it’s longer! If it’s a shorter essay (i.e. 1 - 4 pages), I’ll make an exception, as I should be able to read it in one sitting and get it back to you. Please just try to avoid sending me an essay the day before it’s due, because I cannot make any promises on getting to it.

Alternatively to CA, I may look into a few other areas, so if anyone has information on these areas and/or schools there instead, I’d love to add them to my list:

Asheville, NC

Washington D.C. / Northern VA

New England
