Alan, I would very much enjoy proof reading your book. Regards, Leila (Australia) -----Original Message----- From: oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Alan Savin Sent: Wednesday, 3 October 2012 10:21 PM To: OXFORDSHIRE@rootsweb.com Subject: [OXF] Proof Reading To celebrate my father's 85th birthday on 5th November I have written a small book. It traces over eight centuries the story of my family's direct paternal lineage and includes their siblings at each generation. I would be most grateful if some people could proof read it for any silly mistakes. The length is about 25,000 words and it will be ready sometime next week. Hopefully any proof reader will find it of interest. It is in a Word document at present and therefore would be easy to e-mail. The book's timing may be apt. A few weeks ago my father was ill and I feared he would not make it to his next birthday. But he has made a full recovery although he is still frail as he was beforehand. However yesterday he was told he has the first signs of macular degeneration in his eyes. Any help would be appreciated.

Alan, with so many offers I doubt you need my help, but if you want yet another pair of eyes to go over it, I'd be glad to oblige. I've never been a full-time professional proof reader, but I've been paid to proof read internally produced technical manuals & user guides for firms which employed me. Couldn't be done externally, because of the specialist knowledge & vocabulary needed, so someone from the teams that produced the stuff the manuals described had to do it, & various managers over 20 years independently picked me. ;) Paul On 03/10/2012 22:13, John & Leila Muller wrote: > Alan, > > I would very much enjoy proof reading your book. > > Regards, > > Leila (Australia) > > -----Original Message----- > From: oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com > [mailto:oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Alan Savin > Sent: Wednesday, 3 October 2012 10:21 PM > To: OXFORDSHIRE@rootsweb.com > Subject: [OXF] Proof Reading > > To celebrate my father's 85th birthday on 5th November I have written a > small book.
