Alice Farmer Proofreader
What Makes Me Different
I am not your average proofreader.
Having a science degree means I pay attention to details. My skill set includes consistency, continuity, and fluidity. I read line by line looking for spelling and grammatical errors as well as historical accuracy.
I am honest and direct and very organized.
I have a 99.% acceptance rate.
My services
Every author is different with different needs.
When I read for an author, I look at plot strength and character development. I BETA read, proofread, line by line edit, and will offer developmental suggestions.
At the end of the day the manuscript is your work, and you decide whether to make changes or not.
Currently, my rate is $3.75 per 1000 words.

Customer reviews
Katie Knight/K.A. Knight, International Best-Selling Author
"Alice is a dedicated, kind and very thorough reader. She has been beta reading with me since I started writing and not only does she catch nearly every grammatical/spelling mistake, but she also has valuable input on the content and flow of stories...Alice will be staying with me for as long as she is able and I cannot recommend her services enough."
Rob Wood, New Zealand Author
"Alice beta-read the first ten chapters of my story. She was recommended to me by Stefanie Green via a Facebook writer’s group. She identified grammatical and spelling issues as you’d expect. Where she really added value, however, were her comments regarding sentence structure and plot. She suggested alternative ways to phrase some of my sentences and her rationale for the change. She pointed out paragraphs that were mostly just lists of descriptions and explained why this might put off readers. She suggested several different places these descriptions could be moved to. She spotted a few of my Kiwi phrases that wouldn’t make sense to international readers. Lastly, she identified that while my later chapters were gripping, my first chapter wasn’t likely to compel a reader to continue with the book. Her advice – overhaul, or consider removing the chapter entirely – start the book from the second chapter!
Even though Alice only worked on the first ten chapters of my novel, her advice impacted the way I edited the entire work. Alice gave me an excellent understanding of my strengths and weaknesses as a writer. She got back to me within a week of receiving my draft document.
I couldn’t be more satisfied with Alice’s work on my novel. I recommend her to anyone wanting to improve the clarity and quality of their prose."

"We have been business acquaintances with Alice for over 20 years. Alice volunteered to beta test our
website redesign, as she had been using our old website for many years and knew its deficiencies, and
was also familiar with other websites in our business sector. Over the course of several weeks, Alice
tested our beta site providing feedback via email every step along the way. Her comments and feedback
were detailed and insightful, and her knowledge helped us add several features to the website that
were not initially planned. Her thoroughness and prompt responses ensured we were able to get
valuable test data and complete the build ahead of schedule. To this day, the features that she
suggested are highly welcomed and praised by our users."
