We are looking for proofreading services for the next issue of a literary journal of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.

We are interested in proofreading services to check for grammatical errors, rules of usage, and other necessary corrections (but not for extensive editing of content). The issue should be ready for proofreading in early January, and we plan to complete all corrections by January 20.
