Offer HN: Free Proofreading and/or Editing

5 points by eavc 15y ago ↗ HN

I can proof/edit up to 1,000 words for you, for free, and with no strings or expectations attached.

For the curious, here's why:

1. I'm between jobs and need to do a little work in an area of strength to fend off lethargy

2. This also tests a potential market that suits my skills and which may be worth pursuing

3. I enjoy HNers, helping people, and helping HNers

Email me at bugfreewriting@gmail.com if this is of any interest to you. Thanks!

It's pathetic that you need to offer this for free.

The net is swamped with illiterate postings so your service should be in hot demand.

1) He said he is testing a market.

2) I think you do not get the concept of Offer HN.

No offense to the OP, but I am wary about any such offers now on HN.

After a similar offer - I took the chance and after submitting materials to the HN offerer - was told "Oh, I cant give you feedback on your document because I am working on a project doing the same thing."

They were some dev in India. I am wary that these could be efforts to harvest info from other HN'ers
