 Every Author Needs FRESH EYES!

Avid readers, editors, and publishers notice mistakes, and it affects whether they want to finish your book, review it, buy another one in the future, or publish your manuscript. How sad to get cut before you get your shot at success. Professional authors value good proofreaders.

Sandy Penny Writingmuse, Fresh Eyes Proofing

Hi, Sandy Penny here. 

I am the Founder of WritingMuse, Sweet Mystery Books, and Houston Spirituality Magazine - plus several blogs. My love of reading, mysteries, spirituality, and the written word have inspired me to offer my PROOFING SKILLS for traditional and self-published novels and spiritual books. 

I read and review dozens of books every month for my blogs, Netgalley, and Amazon - and typos, grammatical errors, spacing, consistency, and wrong words automatically jump out. I hate to see authors shoot themselves in the foot by not having an excellent final proofing. Even if you use an editor and several early readers, if they have looked at the book more than once, you need FRESH EYES. 

FRESH EYES PHILOSOPHY: I prefer to read and proof final manuscripts and point out the little things that were missed along the way. With almost every book I read, I notice 10 to 50 errors, even in traditionally published novels, but particularly in independently published work. 

I know I hate to find typos, even in my blog posts and web pages, and I really appreciate someone who lets me know if I have missed something. So, I'm making an affordable offer for professional proofreading - so your books can be as error-free and as polished as possible. 

All you have to do is:

  • Pay through Paypal or with a credit card below.
  • Email your digital manuscript: Microsoft Word is preferred or Kindle|mobi files or PDFs are fine to SandyPenny@live.com.
  • [No paper manuscripts, please. I'm all digital.]
  • Quick turnaround guaranteed.
  • I offer a free second reading after you accept or reject changes on your manuscript.
  • Please include your preferred contact information with a phone number.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

MIKE WELLS - AUTHOR

Writers, Sandy Penny is a fantastic editor, has worked on many of my books including 
the Lust, Money & Murder Series, highly recommended. Sandy recently proofread Renata's Revenge for me after I inadvertently uploaded an unproofed copy to Amazon. She notices everything. She also asks interesting questions that make me think about the details of the story. I've been working with her for a few years now, and I appreciate how quick and thorough she is. If you need a proofreader, she's worth a shot.  Great job, Sandy!   ~Mike Wells

AMELIA  FERNSIDE - AUTHOR

Sandy Penny began reading and reviewing my books. In the process, she found mistakes. So, I hired her to final proof them, and  I now use her to proof all my projects. She works with me on  grammar, historical details, continuity, and even suggested a new book for my series. Sandy embodies the spirit of the books, and uses her skills to make this process fast and easy for me. Her prices are excellent. If she ever discovers how valuable she is to me, I'm in a lot of trouble.  ~Amelia Fernside, Regency Romance Author. Amazon Author.
