My latest non-fiction book, "Destroy Depression" with 80, has already been fully translated and laid out in both German and Chinese. Before it goes to print, I want a pair of fresh, ONLY NATIVE eyes—one German, one Chinese—to catch the small but important issues that only a first-language reader can spot. Here is exactly what I need from you: • Read the entire manuscript in your native language, end-to-end, in its current, finished layout. • Flag or correct every grammar or spelling slip that survived previous immense English full revisions. • Point out any phrase, example, or reference that feels culturally off, insensitive, or simply unnatural to a native reader. ALL SOFTYWARE AND AI IS REJECTED. Only your life experience and human instinct. Return the file with clear tracked changes or obvious margin notes so my layout team can implement fixes quickly. The manuscript is around standard book length, and I’m happy to share a sample page on request so you can gauge the effort. If you are a NATIVE German or a NATIVE Chinese reader with good proofreading background, please reach out. The best book in the world on vast depression cures is not published to your people, so let us save lives and misery. MANUSCRIPT GIVEN IN MINUTES AFTER FLUENCY SHARED.

Hello, I’m a native Chinese reader. I once purchased the Chinese edition of Dr. Bates's The Cure of Imperfect Sight by Treatment Without Glasses for the sake of my bad eyesight. However, it contained so many translation errors and logical inconsistencies that I had no choice but to read the original English version. Interestingly, the English edition proved to be far easier to understand. I fully understand how crucial readability is for readers who need your book's help. I emailed the publisher of that poorly translated edition and offered to assist in verifying the errors, but the matter was left unresolved. You are seeking a native speaker to proofread your book—something not all publishers take seriously. I sincerely hope it can reach the market as perfectly as possible and I very much wish to contribute to its publication. May I be one of the book's first Chinese native readers? Best, Lan
