Hi, I need editing for a book. It contains seven short ghost stories, altogether around 45 000 words. Book is written in a simple language. Grammar, spelling, punctuation and other technical things have to be corrected so book would be ready for print. Text will be ready for editing at the end of October or beginning of November. Kind Regards Jaroslaw Zacharski

I am an experienced copyeditor and fiction writer, with a BA in Creative Writing from the Evergreen State College. English is my native language. I have ample experience with in-depth line editing. I was the Managing Editor of the Administrative Law Review, and have performed countless editing jobs for government and non-profit organizations. I also taught Writing, Research, and Rhetoric at American University's law school. This experience has allowed me to hone my proofreading and grammatical skills to a meticulous degree. I have a lot of experience in critiquing manuscripts and providing thorough, and constructive, feedback. I would be very excited for the opportunity to work on this project. Although I have many years of editing experience, I am recently trying to break into the freelancing business. I am willing to work at a low rate to gain positive feedback and build a good reputation on the site. I am happy to edit a page of your manuscript as an evaluation. You won't be disappointed! Please contact me if you would like to discuss further.

As F. Scott Fitzgerald puts it: "You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you've got something to say;" One word he omits in that is "always". I have been lucky enough to know how to always say something about nothing (sometimes) and make it sound like it's the most important thing since man's first moon landing! I have been freelancing for a while now, had a stint in print and online markets. Quality is underrated in the online world with the race to make everything Search Engine Optimizable (people cramming keywords into articles). However, my work always has that quality guaranteed stamp or I would not bother. I just wrote this passage so you can assess my language skills. I manage a team of writers so it’s a daily routine for me to proofread & edit their work. I not only read the text from start to end but also backwards because some of the spelling mistakes which you miss out in first reading can be easily identified with this technique. While proofreading, I always read out loud. It helps me spot those areas which require my attention. I assure you there won’t be any grammar and sentence structure issues left in the text. If you desire, I can provide my prior work (editing or proofreading) for your consideration. I charge, $8/hour. Please check my portfolio on Freelancer – http://www.freelancer.com/u/uzmakazmi.html Do take a look on my reviews and see what other employers have to say about me. Regards Uzma

I possess the skills and experience you require from a freelancer. I am a native English speaker from New Zealand, and I'm able to read and comprehend English to a very high standard. I have successfully completed projects which involved proofreading content, making edits and rewriting for clarity and correct grammar. I've also passed the Freelancer.com exams in US English Level 3 and UK English Level 2, which are the highest English qualifications available on this site. My previous work experience includes proofreading a monthly newsletter which was distributed to over 4,000 of my employer's retail clients, checking and verifying the accuracy of reports and press releases prior to publication, proofreading and editing the first three issues of an internal staff newsletter, and writing a number of articles which were included in these newsletters. I am an avid reader and I love to expand my horizons by reading a wide range of material, so I know I'll be able to focus on the content of your work in order to ensure it's not just grammatically correct but also grabs your readers' attention. Hire me for this project – you won't be disappointed! Feel free to contact me to discuss this opportunity.

Hello, Mr. Zacharski. I'm so eager to bid here and introduce myself. I'm a professional editor working for years in this field. Due to my thorough knowledge of English grammar, structure, punctuation, word usage, etc. I shall edit all the stories of the book leaving them error-free and ready for printing. You won't need a second pair of eyes to go through them again since I'm detailed and accurate, not to mention fast and committed. Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you.

Good Afternoon, Normally I start my proposal with Good Afternoon from Ireland but as I see you are also based in Ireland I will skip my customary greeting. My bid is for €225 which works out at €5 per 1000 words. I have no doubt you will receive much lower bids but I doubt you will find someone who will pay as much attention to your project and deliver a completely satisfactory end result. I will not be happy until you are happy with the finished project. My English spelling, grammar and punctuation are all excellent and I also have over 7 years proof reading experience. I have recently completed a couple of projects on Freelancer, proof reading and correcting web sites and magazines and you can see that my clients were more than satisfied with my work if you read my feedback reviews. I look forward to completing your project to a similar high standard and with the same successful outcome. If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate in contacting me. With regards, Gerry Butler

My Qualifications: I have a B.A. in English and Allied Language Arts and a M.A. in Composition and Rhetoric. I am experienced in writing, editing, and proofreading undergraduate and graduate level academic and creative works. I have a passion for language and I am attentive to detail. Also, I love all genres of fiction. My Approach to this Job: I prefer to read for content first and then go back through and look for grammar, semantics, syntax, etc. I will do everything to preserve the voice and tone established in the document while fixing the errors. I prefer to use Microsoft Word or OpenOffice track changes, though I am unopposed to other methods of editing. I make myself as available as necessary to my clients. I do work full-time, however my job affords me a lot of downtime, during which I do freelance work. If I were chosen for this project I would not seek other projects until this one has been completed. Also, I project a delivery of 1 to 2 weeks from the time of access to the short stories. This posting actually comes at a very good time. I just finished editing a thriller novel and I'm looking for another book or collection to edit. I am new to Freelancer, but please don't let that scare you. I do regular editing for a Finance Blog and would be happy to share a sample of my editing with you or even edit a page of your own work to demonstrate my skill. I look forward to hearing from you.
