Proofreading as a freelancer

I have just begun an entirely new venture to utilise a few of the supplementary skills of my previous career as a pre-sales solution architect.

As a solution architect, as well as designing and costing technical solutions, I contributed towards the proposal response which involved open prose describing the solution being proposed and coherent and concise answers to specific questions concerning the technical solution.

The solution was often complex but, whilst demonstrating the complexities have been addressed, the reponse needed to be simple enough for every reader to understand. This is a technical authorship skill which takes time to develop and something I will probably offer in due course. At this time I am applying for freelance positions carrying out just standard proofreading.

Proofreading involves maintaining and enhancing the authors intended meaning whilst correcting grammatical and punctuation errors, spelling, tense errors, tone and cohesiveness.

Looking forward to getting some freelance work of this sort to keep me off the streets!
