Another Good Offer
I've only recently come across Emily Blake's blog, but I did want to publicize a great offer she has made over there. For a mere $50 ($30 for a teleplay or short), Emily will proofread your script for "grammar, punctuation, and comprehension" (that last one is going to present some interesting challenges, I'm sure). This is not an offer of coverage or comments, just a readthrough for technical linguistic flaws.
You all know how frustrated us readers get when we see these things, and how amateurish such errors can make you seem. So this is money that is wisely invested. I have no idea how good a proofreader Emily is, but she is a high school teacher, so I've got to assume (and hope) that she knows her stuff. I've also done this sort of thing on occasion, and it is tedious work, so be thankful that she's offering the service, and at a very reasonable rate.

What would we/I do without you? Thanks for updating us!
Thanks, honey! (I'm a Southern girl.) And I should also mention that I used to be a copy editor. I obsess over grammar.
Correction: You all know how frustrated WE readers get ---
You get that one for free.
Emily -- y'all are welcome, honey.
MaryAn -- mea culpa, but I knocked that post out quickly, and I NEVER stand by the grammar of these posts. I don't write them the way I write articles or scripts. I just let 'em spew forth. ;-)
Spew forth! Like a fresh beer?
