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:
Flow (e.g. paragraph breaks)
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.
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)
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.
If you have any questions or concerns, I’m available through tumblr messenger or my ask box, or via DM on my Instagram (also flyersstudies)! I will also give out my Discord upon request. (:
