WANTED: EAGLE-EYED PEDANTS
First of all, apologies for the lack of postings. I haven't abandoned the blog but have been concentrating on final preparations of "Crowns of Barbed Wire," a book of twentieth century Orthodox martyrs. I'm now coming towards the end and, since I am self-publishing on Kindle, it would be extremely helpful if I can persuade some volunteers to help proof read the text.
I realize that people are usually pretty busy, so ANY help, however limited, would be appreciated. This could be as little as a page or two, ranging to a full chapter or even the whole book.
As well as looking for typos or grammatical/vocabulary errors, comments on readability (or lack thereof) would be very valuable as it is said that I can tend towards being pompous and academic!
All offers will be greatly appreciated. At the very least, it will give you the opportunity to criticize an English teacher's grammar and that must be fun.

If you want to help and don't want to comment here, there is a similar posting on my Facebook page where you can comment or leave a message.

Please feel free to give feedback whether positive or negative. It seems that the comment box won't work unless you complete the Comment as... box. I don't understand all the settings but suggest you choose anonymous and put your name in the text (unless you really do want to be anonymous!) Name + URL (email address) should also work. Due to increasing Spam comments, I've had to introduce word recognition (CAPTCHA) but don't let that put you off.
