Why Authors Trust Me to Catch What Others Miss
When I am reading a book, I cannot help but spot typos, clunky phrases, inconsistencies, and places where clarity could be improved. Most people skim past these things. I notice them immediately and I have done it my whole life in books, websites, and marketing materials.
Why Work With Me as a Non-Fiction Proofreader
Active non-fiction reader: I have read more than 1,000 books, with most focused on business and marketing. I know the genre, the patterns readers expect, and where manuscripts often lose clarity.
Marketing and QA background: Years in digital marketing and software testing trained me to find what is off and explain why. My notes go beyond grammar to structure, flow, consistency, and reader experience.
The ADHD advantage: My brain happily locks onto details others miss. Authors have told me my feedback surfaced issues that other reviewers and early readers did not mention.
What I Offer Right Now
I provide friendly, helpful proofreading and reviewer feedback for non-fiction books, especially business and marketing. I am happy to read advance copies in exchange for early access and the chance to help you put out your best possible work.
No tiers or pricing packages for now. If you want a simple, honest read with practical notes you can use, I am your person.
Proofreading in the Wild
I document interesting errors and marketing misses I spot. A few recent examples:
I have hundreds of these saved and recently started posting them to Pinterest. This is the same eye I bring to your manuscript.
What I Love to Read
If you write in these spaces, we will be a great fit. Here are boards of books I rated five stars:
How We Can Work Together
If you’d like me to proofread or beta read your non-fiction book, reach out here – contact Dave. Just send me a quick note about your book and I will follow up from there.
Preferred format: Kindle (epub) files work best because I can highlight directly and capture screenshots as I go. I can also work with Word or PDF if that’s what you have.
Turnaround: I typically return a full read with feedback within two weeks. You’ll get my notes along the way as I am reading, so you see both real-time reactions and end-to-end feedback.
