Where can I find a reliable native English speaker to proofread my text, which is a translation, ensuring that it is free of grammatical errors and sounds natural to native speakers? Please avoid suggesting online services similar to Fiverr, as there is no guarantee that the person offering proofreading services is actually a native speaker.
Maybe someone on this forum would like to serve as a proofreader?
Put an ad in your local newspaper for a native English speaker to proofread your text. Ask to meet the candidate in person to judge if he or she has an English accent or talk to the person on the phone. Meeting in person is best since you cannot be sure by phone.
How long is your text and what is it about? I don't know of any services that you could find someone with so I'd suggest continuing to search online, but depending on what the text is, I might be willing to proofread for you. I'm a native English speaker and a writer myself, so I could be of some help (if you'd like).
