Need help with proofreading
Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2008 6:56 am
Hi!
As a non-native English writer, I sometimes find it very hard to do the proofreading by myself.
I'd like to know if there is anybody out there who would like to give me hand with it. I'd review the first draft, and then I'd send the text to someone who would do a final review of the text, just to be sure it's ready for submitting.
I really don't want to have my account suspended, and I'm afraid I might be on the verge of that.
I'm all for the high standards of CC: in fact, that was the reason I originally registered here, because it is very important to provide not only good content in terms of topics, but also in terms of writing quality. I think I'm a good writer - at least, that's an ideal I aspire to - but I also understand that the fact that I'm not a native English writer may become a setback if I don't ask for help.
With this post, I also want to thank CC for rejecting my articles - although I've had a couple of them accepted! - and for helping me become better at what I like to do. You bring me back to earth, and make me realize that there is still a lot to learn, all the time.
If there is anybody out there who has some time to give me hand, please let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Mariana
