Hi, my name is Ray Evans!

I'm a certified Proofreader and Copyeditor from New York City.
I help self-published fiction authors to save time
Poor grammar and clunky sentence structure are major turn offs to any reader.

Together we can polish your content while maintaining your unique voice.

I provide proofreading and editing on a variety of materials such as:

Novels
Novellas
Short Stories
​
Proofreading is the final part of the editorial process that refines your writing.

Misspellings, incorrect words, and punctuation errors jump out at me whenever I'm reading for work or my leisure.

Distractions like these detract from the reader's experience; I want to assist you in providing your readers with crystal clear, bold, and smooth writing!

Even the smallest grammar mistakes can erode a reader’s trust, ruin your credibility, and lower your book sales

I will fix your grammar, formatting, and sentence structure to ensure that your writing is clear, sharp and professional. I go far deeper than Grammarly can since it lacks the human element.
​
 I can be your second pair of eyes and give your writing the finishing touches so you can show the world your best work.

This is the #1 TOP for editing and rewriting in English. My job consisted of rewriting a 2-page resume and he went above and beyond what I expected; and compared to others, the work is outstanding! Great communication and enthusiasm.

Article Before and After Proofreading

Before before proofreading

                     
 
                               Bride’s Bootcamp
You’re busy planning and organizing one of the most special days of your life. Everything is going to be perfect, from your dress to the cake at the reception. And, of course, you want to look perfect, too, whether you want to tone up or to loose a little weight before your big day arrives. 


But who has time in all the flurry? Making a better you for your wedding need not start out as a completely life changing event. Pick one or two things to work on at the start so the whole process doesn’t overwhelm you. And then, as you get more involved and accustomed, pick up the pace. You will be surprised how relaxing it is—and how it really isn’t that hard to set aside a small portion of your day to improve yourself. 

The preparations for the big day is extremely important, but planning for the days and years beyond shouldn’t be lost in all the scheduling. Start working on a healthier you and build the foundation for a healthy married life ahead. And include your groom-to-be! Working out is a great way to spend one-on-one time with each other away from the rush of every day life. It will motivate you to work on goals together and to set good habits for the rest of you’re lives. 



What can you look forward to with this series, Bride’s Bootcamp? Check here for cardio, strength, and stretch tips and challenges, along with nutritious recipies to help you balance out a healthy lifestyle with losing weight or toning up. You can’t attain your dream you by merely envisioning the results—it takes determination and hard work! So this week, set up your pre-wedding fitness goals. Here are some ideas to help you get started:
  • Post your goals where you will constantly see them. After you have your goals planned out, draw up a contract for yourself and sign it. Make out a calendar with your goals written on it. Do whatever structure you like best. Then post it up on your fridge, bathroom mirror, bedroom wall or office table. Just put it wherever you will always be reminded
  • Make a reward for yourself so that if you meet your weekly goals, you have something to look forward to at the end of the week. Maybe you could treat yourself to a bubble bath, a movie night, or a whole evening dedicated to something you’ve wanted to work on for ages
  • Hold yourself accountable. Involve your hubby-to-be. Blog, post on facebook, or Tweet your goals
  • Follow a fitness blog and talk to other people online who are working toward the same fitness goals you are  
  • Sign up for that sport or dance class you’ve dreamed about but have never taken
  • Get a tour of a local gym and learn about all the fitness activities and motivational tips they offer there
  • And check back here for weekly encouragement and ideas for getting a healthy, amazing-looking you for your wedding day and beyond
Next time—a fun cardio work out to melt away the inches and tone up!

Mission Statement

To help self-published save time and sell more of their work so that they can make a full time living as a writer. 

What's the Difference Between Proofreading and editing?

When we work together I could save you time by polishing your writing to make sure that it's error free and you give your readers the best possible experience and present your ideas as clearly as possible. 

Proofreading and editing are different services but I can do either for you , but here's a summary of how they are different:

Promptly returned it in less than 15 hours. Made several great suggestions and fixed errors multiple readers had not spotted. I would certainly use this service again in the future.

 Incredibly efficient and accommodating. Completed the work quickly and with great attention to detail. The report was 35,000 words so not a small task but it was thoroughly proofed. I want to thank you, I really appreciate your work.
