Spencer,
I am a retired English teacher and librarian, and I proofread, for free, for a few
friends who publish various articles and books.
If you would like, I would be glad to proofread your manual, at no charge, if the
feedback you've requested shows that others have had difficulty with your manual.. I
offer this service because I believe in what you have been trying to accomplish. Although
I am 'technically challenged,' I could reduce any too-tecnical passages to common, easily
understood language. (Of course, this proofreading may require your further explanation
on any difficult passages.) I sew and do other projects, also, often following written
instructions. I have found that written instructions often don't correspond to picture instructions
and I have rewritten and reformatted one of my sewing manuals to correct that problem.
If you would be interested in talking further, email me a convenient time to talk, and
I will telephone you.
Edith
