I have a steady stream of short documents that need a fresh pair of eyes focused primarily on grammar, punctuation, and the small mechanical details that make writing feel polished. Because the text targets an American audience, I need someone who lives in the United States and writes naturally in U.S. English. Most pieces are everyday business or creative snippets—think emails, web blurbs, and occasional longer articles—so nothing overly technical, just real-world copy that must read clean and professional. Here’s how we’ll work: I drop a file, you return it the same day—ideally using Track Changes or clearly highlighted edits—showing every correction so I can learn from your tweaks. If something is unclear, flag it; otherwise, keep the voice intact, tighten the grammar, and make sure punctuation is on point. Turnaround time and accuracy matter more to me than fancy credentials, so entry-level talent with a sharp eye is perfect. If that sounds like you, let me know your availability and a quick sample of past proofreading (even a before/after paragraph is fine). Looking forward to smooth, error-free copy together.

Entry-level U.S. proofreading requires someone who understands American conventions at a granular level—not just spelling differences, but rhythm, formality registers, and how U.S. audiences parse business prose. That's the real challenge here. Same-day turnaround with tracked edits is achievable. The workflow you've described—flagging unclear passages while preserving voice and tightening mechanics—is straightforward execution. Business emails, web copy, and occasional longer pieces sit squarely within my wheelhouse. Grammar, punctuation, and clarity are the core deliverables. I've handled 540+ projects with consistent 4.9/5 ratings, including extensive proofreading and copy editing across business and creative writing. U.S. English is native-level. Every revision uses Track Changes or clear annotation so you see exactly what shifted and why. Turnaround time won't be an issue. Ready to start immediately. Send the first piece and we'll establish the baseline for how you like corrections formatted.

Hi, I’d be happy to help with this. I’ve been working as a freelance writer and editor for 5+ years, and proofreading is a natural extension of the work I already do. I’m based in Kenya rather than the United States, so I want to be upfront about that requirement. That said, I regularly write for international clients and are quite comfortable with U.S. English, including American spelling, punctuation, grammar conventions, and the more natural phrasing expected for a U.S. audience. I also understand that you’re looking for proofreading rather than someone to completely rewrite your work. In such cases, my approach has always been to preserve the writer’s voice and only make changes where they genuinely improve readability. I’m also comfortable working in Microsoft Word with Track Changes and can return files with every correction clearly visible. Plus, I can also work within same-day turnaround requirements when files are provided with enough time. I’d be happy to complete a short test run so you can judge my accuracy and approach before committing to ongoing work. Cheers, Jory
