Do you find yourself second-guessing your grammar and punctuation?

Types of Work I Accept
Fiction:
While I specialize in proofreading Christian fiction, your work doesn’t need to be overtly Christian. I also happily proofread clean, wholesome, sweet, inspirational, or PG fiction.
Nonfiction:
I rarely accept nonfiction projects, as I’m now focusing my limited time on what I enjoy most, which is proofreading fiction. Thank you for understanding.
Works I will not proofread:
Horror, erotica, LGBTQ+ themes, or works containing offensive content such as on-page sex, graphic abuse, or extreme violence.
