Hey Gang,

My sister is in the last stages of writing her PhD thesis. She asked me if I knew of any professional proofreaders who could help her put together her final edit. I said: "Uh. No. But I know where all these small press people and writing professionals hang out. I'll ask!"

So, here I am asking. Her thesis is in creative industries. It is somewhat law related, but not overly technical. She has asked that the proofreader(s) be familiar with EndNote.

So, any of you writer types feel like recommending someone? And make a little cash on the side?

Thanks!
Eric

Hey Eric,

I'd offer (if I hjad the time) hock: and for the fact I've never even heard of EndNote. I'm a bit puzzled as to the relevance of the program in this context. Is EndNote required to open the file format the thesis is written?

Hi Dan,

From the EndNote website:

EndNote®, ProCite®, Reference Manager® are the industry standard software tools for publishing and managing bibliographies on the Windows and Macintosh® desktop. Researchers, writers and students depend on these products to locate bibliographic data and create bibliographies for curricula vitae, manu_script_s, grant proposals, term papers and other publications. These products automate the creation of bibliographies for over 1,000 scholarly publications, a tedious and error-prone activity when performed manually. Using these products, writers save countless hours of typing and interpreting _style_ requirements of scholarly publications by simply selecting the publication by name and generating a perfectly formatted document.

I haven't used it myself, but my sister swears by it!

I'm a university instructor and have done a lot of proofreading. If your sister still needs a proofreader, she is welcome to contact me. I've been a instructor for seven years and have been proofreading for may more.
