I suspect any serious proofreaders are being cautious, not wanting to risk signing up to a free lifetime supply of spam email and also wondering how serious you are about paying the going rate.

It sounds as though it's not exactly proofreading that you want, but copy-editing - which might include the re-writing of text written by a non-native speaker of English? It's not easy to say how long this will take per so many words without seeing how well-written it is and without knowing what kind of text it is, eg if it's academic, or technical.

A decent copy-editor is probably going to charge around £15 an hour upwards, and it can easily take an hour to sort out an oddly written thousand words.

This is not to say I think yours is going to be oddly written so it could work out at less. I've been surprised at how full of mistakes some websites are, including copywriters' websites, so it's great that you recognise you need help. Bit more info/reassurance and I may well be the person to help!
