Hi Laura,
Welcome to the neighborhood! I proofread, and it’s hard to say how long it
takes to proofread a book because there are so many different factors involved.
For myself, i read every word of every page and do all of the things on the
proofreading manual. I can do 50 to 75 pages per day, doing it for 4 to 6
hours per day. I figure it’s not really how fast I am, but how good the book
is when I finish with it.
I find that checking the “Books to be checked out” list quite often is the
best way to get the books that most interest me. If a book title is mentioned
here on the list, ask the person who’s scanning to put a hold for you. Hope
this helps!

Hi everyone!
I am new here and do proofreading. I had a few questions if anyone has time to
help.
How long does it generally take to proofread a book? I am currently running
about 2 mins or so a page but feel like I am being slow.
How do I find out about books being scanned and get a HOLD FOR put on any book
I have an interest in?
Thanks for your replies!
Laura
