    We had to write a short story for English and now i need some help proofreading it. I'm not great with grammatical usage and pretty bad at proofreading. See as punctuation is a big chuck of the grade I need all the help I can get . I know there are some very very talented writers here at TA. My English teacher said my story was good so all thats left is grammar and punctuation.

    The paper is just over three thousand words(15 pages size 16 font). If your interested PM me. I may able to offer a iTunes gift card in the near future. Anyways, It would be a big help.

    Its 16 point font and knowing SJP it's probably two inch margins and quadruple spaced as well.

    Thanks to the people who sent PM's. I will send it to one person at a time and pass on the paper to the next person after the person before is done.

    By the way, it was written by an 8th grader that doesnt exactly enjoy english class(me that is) so i will understand if you do not like my story. My english teacher said it was good though.

    As for payment, i wasnt exspecting more than one or two respones(i got 4) but i will send you a gift card or something else as soon as i can.

    LOL. yeah it is double spaced and the a chunk of the first page is taken up by heading and title and the last page has less than half a page of words. All in all it is around 3,000 words.

    15 pages (or 3,000 words) is actually a pretty average length for a short story.

    But then it is impressively long for an 8th grader. I don't know if writing 3,000 word pieces is common at 8th Grade in the US, but I don't think I wrote very many 3,000 word anythings during my entire Secondary education

    Any reason why it's in 16 font and not 12?
