Dear Anja (and anyone else looking for proof readers/grammar checkers),

What are your stories, Anja?  I read speculative fiction for pleasure
(i.e. fantasy, science fiction, alternative history), and if your
stories are to my taste, then reading the odd one and commenting on the
grammar would be a pleasure (although squeezing the time for more than
the odd single story is difficult, at the moment).  On the other hand,
if the story is romantic fiction, forget it!

Similarly, I would be happy to check exhibition text, guides to
towns/sites, etc. which lie within my field of interest.

My best wishes to you all,

Pat
(who is going to be looking for someone to proof her thesis in three
years time, if all goes to plan - I'm dyslexic, and my Dutch is just
awful!)
