Okay: how many of you saw the word FREE and hit the link before you even bothered to wonder about what was being offered? Hands up! Yes, as I thought.
Here's the deal. I'm starting a new career as a freelance proofreader and editor and, as a beginner, I need some experience. So I am offering my services free of charge to all members of the forum. There are limitations to the offer! This is an after-hours project for the time being, so I'm unwilling to tackle anything over 2000-3000 words. And the offer expires at the end of September this year.
Within those boundaries, however, I'll pretty much attempt anything. Job applications, resumes, love letters, blackmail letters - if the blackmail's successful, by the way, I'll expect a commission of 10%. Either that or a complete set of the photos.
Please contact me through the email below rather than by PM here.
Thanks.

Would you believe I spelt it 'proofeading' on my test letterhead? Caught that one before it went out though.

Five hundred times:
I will not post half-asleep.
I will not post half-asleep.
I will not post hafl-aslepp.

BUGGER!

You got me! I thought I was finally getting that dream car that I have been waiting for.

I can help you with a letter to Santa...

haha :lol:

hmm..... blackmail letter to the carphone warehouse

I looked at free and thought it was a flight to Syria!

OK, dreams still dying here.

Nice one Paul, so what do you best like it to be about? Like what will get you really into it?


Women?


I thought so.

As I walked into the office the boss pretended not to notice my dirty shirt and unshaven cheeks. It had been another rough night, spent wrestling with the pillow which I cursed for not being Scarlett Johanssen...

SYRIA?
