A Last Look (An Affordable Proofreader) Could Be All You Need.
Purpose of this Web SiteServices of a Freelance Proofreader and Copyeditor Introduction
- Affordable proofreading and copyediting services are offered to protect your web image and improve your bottom line. I will proofread articles, e-mails, posts, web sites, etc. I also proofread reports, letters, reference manuals, textbooks, cookbooks, novels, plays, etc.
- I would like to build and maintain a network of proofreaders, editors, and writers, as well as provide links to proofreading and writing resources.
- I would like an online site containing links that I personally find useful.
Every day I read e-zine articles, web sites, e-mails, and newsgroup or discussion-group posts that contain errors in grammar, punctuation, usage, and spelling which detract from the validity of the point being made by the writer. Fresh eyes proofreading those "documents" before they were "published for all the world to see" would have helped them make better impressions. Instead of distracting the reader, the mechanics of the articles, messages, or web sites, after editing by a talented proofreader, would have added to the otherwise favorable impression of the content. Proofreading costs very little compared to what it pays. Click here for services offered. The impact of proofreading on your bottom line could be greater than you think. That's why I offer free estimates.It's Your Image Introduction
Unfortunately, it appears that people don't understand the importance, especially on the web, of the appearance of their work or correspondence. Since others can't "see" you on the web (in most cases), the appearance of your work is akin to the way you would dress when meeting prospective clients, constituents, associates, or friends face to face. A proofreader is your mirror when it comes to making sure others see you at your best.Why Me?In the same way your apparel reflects the activities in which you are engaging, your postings, e-mails, and web sites should reflect your capability to participate in the online activity at hand. If, instead, your work reveals you to be harried, absent-minded, careless, or unconcerned, let alone ignorant, that image can come back to haunt you at a time when you're trying to be taken seriously.

I am semi-retired after 20+ years experience as a medical transcriptionist. I have also worked in the capacities of medical secretary and transcription service owner. In addition, I have 10+ years experience composing and editing newsletters, brochures, fact sheets, CV's, resumes, and correspondence for hospitals, churches, physicians, politicians, businesspeople, pastors, and "real people." Consequently, I find I suffer from a habitual, though obviously noncommunicable, disease. I'm a compulsive proofreader. I can't read too much of anything without finding errors of all kinds. E-zine articles, e-mails, discussion posts, and web sites are no exception. Hence, my decision to attempt to bring affordable proofreading resources to the web.

I would like to have a place where I can access some of my favorite links without worrying about which browser or computer I'm using. This web site will be changing continually (as does my bookmark file). It will eventually reflect my bookmarks as well as crosslinks with sites who wish a reciprocal link. I don't mind sharing my bookmarks with you. And if you have a favorite site, especially a topical multilink site or a site dealing with researching, writing, copy editing, or proofreading, don't hesitate to drop me an e-mail (see below) with "check this out" in the subject and the website URL in the body of the message.If I come up with more reasons to have a web site, you who visit here will be the first to know.

There is a lot of information on this site. Different visitors will find different information useful, and I'm sure no visitor will care to read it all. For that reason I will attempt to provide clearly identified links to information of interest to specific classes of readers. If you want to contact me, please follow the instructions below.

Navigation and Contact Info:
Contact Person: Lynda Karr (FYI: Mrs., but we don't stand on ceremony around here.)
Contact Preference: E-mail--see instructions below.
Confidentiality
All communications of any type with A Last Look are private and confidential, and may not be stored by any means or shared in any manner with anyone else without the written permission of Lynda Karr. Communications from you are accorded the same rights. Your e-mail address is never shared with anyone else without your express permission except as demanded by the law. If you receive a communication from me by mistake, you may not use anything in it for your personal gain or for the personal gain or detriment of others, and you should notify me at once, delete the communication, and ignore its contents.Message Instructions: I'm eager to hear from you, but thanks to UCE/SPAM and address-harvesting robots, I had to devise a method of masking my e-mail addresses and/or weeding out serious inquiries from junkmail. My method is to (1) provide a new e-mail address whenever spam overtakes me and (2) provide subject lines for you to use that robots can't use.
(1) If you don't need me now but think you might in the future, bookmark this page and come back here to click on the current e-mail address when you need me. Once you become a client/networker, you'll be given my permanent address.
(2) To enable my e-mail program to filter your message properly, please type or copy-and-paste one of the following subject lines into the subject line of your message. I look at messages with these subject lines first and the rest of my messages when I get around to it. Once I become familiar with your address, you won't need to worry about this step.
I may need a proofreader and/or copyeditor.
I am a proofreader and/or copyeditor.
I'd like to be a proofreader and/or copyeditor.
I have a comment about A Last Look and/or your Web site.Then click on the "Send e-mail" link.
Once you've clicked on the link, your e-mail program will pop up. Right-click in the Subject line, and click paste to enter the subject line you chose from those above (or just type it in). Then, compose your message including how I should address you in my response, at least your general location (city, time zone), a phone number at which you can be reached in case e-mail ceases to work, and a short outline of what you are hoping to accomplish. If you are requesting a free estimate, please attach your project file(s) or a file containing a few pages from the middle of your project.
Send e-mail
To send a personal message, write a subject line that includes the name I would know you by, like "Do you remember Lynda Sandford, from Maple Shade, NJ?", and click on the following link: Hi, LyndaHaving trouble? If mailer daemon returns your message or if the links above don't appear to work for you, send your message directly to me at dzntwrk (means the link or your e-mail "doesn't work") @alastlook.com, but please don't forget the subject-line instructions above.
If you are a potential client and do not receive a reply from me within one business day, it may be because your e-mail host treats mail from Yahoo.com as spam. Check with your provider to see if placing my yahoo address in your filters or address book will negate that block. If so, send me a message telling me that, and I'll send you the yahoo address to put in your filters or address book (via my ISP e-mail, currently handtechisp.com). If putting my yahoo address in your program won't work, please resend your request, and tell me your e-mail host won't accept yahoo mail. Hopefully your e-mail host will accept mail from my ISP. I move around a bit and my ISP can change, so I prefer to use stable, continuous, able-to-be-reached-from-any-computer Yahoo.
If you are a potential networker or newbie/wannabe, you won't hear from me until network activity increases and I am once again accepting applicants or I have new pages on the site that may be of interest to you. I will keep your information on file for that purpose and that purpose alone.
Thanks so much! I look forward to hearing from you, even if it is to complain about my site (grin)! If you know what you want and I know who you are, you can use the following buttons to fund your retainer.
