Hello, my name is Rebecca Lynne, and I am a freelance proofreader. My specialty is in theatre scripts and sheet music (Finale 2011). I am currently trying to expand my resume, and as such, I would be happy to proofread a bit of anything you are currently working on, free of charge.
Please submit selections no less than ten pages and no more than thirty, so that I can guarantee their return, with corrections, within 72 hours. (I may be able to accept longer submissions depending on my work load at the time - contact me for me details). I can easily accept submissions made in Microsoft Office for text documents and Finale for music via email or iDisk, or by a hard copy via post, or fax.
I ensure that all submissions and their content will be kept entirely confidential. In return, please allow me to add your name and the title of your work to my CV. Please address all queries to rebeccalynne@gmx.com.
Thank you-
Rebecca Lynne
(NOTE TO COMPOSERS: Until I have done a bit of work with you and thus know your style, I will not be able to focus on the notes themselves when proofing your music. I will have a listen, and if there is anything obviously wrong, I will draw your attention to it. Otherwise, it is too difficult for me to know if a particular note was intended or not. If you are, however, following particular rules of a type of music -i.e. a Baroque suite - then the rules would be set enough that I could check your progressions, etc. Instead, I will focus on the actual music on the page - layout, format, text (marry it to script), punctuation, rest placements, extra notes hidden, etc. I will clean and polish it all to look nice and neat, easy to read, and presentable.) - sorry for the extra long note!!!
