Edit short texts in Dutch/Flemish

5


5 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 27, 2018

ONLY IN DUTCH/FLEMISH! (In English only spelling correction, no grammar, as I'm not confident I could manage to do that perfectly!)

I will look into your short text (up to 5 pages) and correct spelling and grammar mistakes.
If you wish, I can also rewrite sentences to make them better readable, or even suggest on structure or content (editing & proofreading).
The way to go is: I first look into your text quickly and estimate how much time the job will take, depending on length and text quality. You propose a deadline, and I estimate whether I can do it by then.

The reason why I only take short texts here, is because editing is more time consuming than most people realise - if you want it to be done well. And I only take the job when I can do it well. To give you an idea: a bachelor or master proof that has 25 - 50 real text pages, may cost up to 500 - 1,000 euros if I ask only 10 euros per hour (joint consultation and questioning through Skype and email included)! But then you DO have a real good text... ;-)

(We can still negotiate about longer texts, if you want, even real books, just bear in mind how much time that takes, so simbi or exchange proposals should be proportionate!)

Training & Qualifications


I've studied grammar at secondary school (Latin, Greek, Dutch, French, English, German) and at university (Dutch, English).
I've worked as a freelance text corrector with Kluwer Belgium (publisher).
I have experience with correcting bachelor and master proofs/theses and the like.
I'm a published author myself, with hunderds of articles and two books.

Availability & Preferences


I look into your text and we agree on a deadline that I can realistically reach. If it's a really short text, that could be the same or the next day.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

The economy that we created in the world is way off. Just like an unconditional basic income for everyone, I feel a more symbiotic economy would be a lot healthier and happier for everyone.
