I need a proof reader

If you are talking about AC, I learned a few tricks the hard way there. First, ALWAYS use spell check. Actually, I write mine in MS Word with spell check AND grammar check, and then cut and paste them in, Secondly - they want OBJECTIVE articles, so don't write about your personal opinions. If you are doing a restaurant review, don't say "I thought the decor was tacky" say something like "The decor wasn't inviting" They want it phrased so that it isn't about YOU but is more objective. They pay for reviews and such. They don't seem interested in personal experience, or stories.

Hi Carolee, Write an article for use and we will profread it and when we'r finished you can submit and see where it goes from there. Contrary to the old saying."Many cooks make a more interesting soup" R

Well, you could hire a proof reader. :) Seriously, do a spell check and a grammar check. Make sure your writing is as good as it can be and that your topis suits the publication your submitting to. And keep writing. It can take a long while to get that first article published, but if you keep at it, it will happen.

I am a proof reader. Then there is spell check. Not sure what else you need. Your site that you submit to might be pickly. My daughter is a writer with a book about to be published and 2 sites reject her work for them. I can offer you my help or you can give a bit more information and then go from there.

I have had this problem on a few occasions. I could only assume that some of the words I used were not acceptable. I changed a few words and it usually went through after this. I know this can be a nuisance when you can't copy and paste as it means you have to retype the whole article.

proofreading is part of my job. I have always been very picky about grammer and punctuation errors (I sometimes find myself taking a red pen to published books) so I can see how if your writing doesn't fit comfortably with the language it would just be rejected. Even though it might be good, many don't think it s worth the trouble to rework into correct grammer. If you have trouble with grammer maybe you should buy a simple grammer book so you can make sure you are doing the easy things right, like subject/verb agreement or making sure sentences aren't fragments or run-ons. If you are ever questioning something in particular, I'd be happy to steer you in the right direction.

Usually when articles are submitted to a website (or elsewhere) and turned down, you are given a reason so that you'll know what to fix. It's definitely a good idea to get a proofreader if you can. I proofread for a few people, but I'm generally too busy. Funny thing is, I can proofread for others, but for myself I do not. It takes me so long and I rarely change a thing.

Maybe grammar wrong or ask Ur editor why it returned. In my country if some script returned they will ive the reason And U can learn to fix it ^^

Sometimes, I made careless mistakes at work, and once I consulted my manager how I can overcome this problem. He gave me some suggestions to eliminate careless mistakes: 1) Of coz, be more careful. :p 2) Test the assumptions you've made. (this may not be applicable in writing) 3) Review your work, by yourself or get someone to review for you. I guess this point is applicable to you. Before you submit any articles, just review it. Grammar or spelling checks won't be enough. You really have to go through the whole article, perhaps by reading it out loud will help. I believe the more you practise, the better you'll be, and the lesser mistakes you'll make. It's a habit that can be built up. ^_^

Proofreading is very important, and so is writing material that will attract readers. I've found that some of the things that interest me are of no interest to anyone else. If you try telling a friend or relative about your article, and notice some furtive watch-glances, it might be boring. Trust me; I've seen some heavy eyelids on people I was telling about things I wrote.

Do you mean freelance articles for magazines or journals? I've edited and published. Let me know if you need that kind of help.

I don't know what's going on, but I would be happy to proofread some of your work if you would like.

What kind of articles are you submitting and where are you submitting them?

Proofreading or copy-editing helps. But I know we don't all have the luxury of paying someone else to review our work. The most important, and probably hardest thing, to do when you're reviewing your own work is to pay attention. Your eyes get used to your words, and the brain will substitute words, especially if it "makes sense" that they should be there. You may not be catching your own errors because you know what the piece is supposed to say. So, go back to your work after a few days or even weeks and try to proofread it yourself. Spending some time away from a document may help clear your vision of it, and you may catch some things you previously missed. If you have a very patient friend who is well versed in English, ask them to read over your work. Lastly, use (BUT DO NOT DEPEND ON) spelling and grammar checks. Don't assume that because you ran the spelling check that it caught anything that was incorrect. As you can see in your discussion question, you typed the word "summit" instead of "submit" and because summit is a real word, it pased right under the radar.
