Hello Freelance Editors, I have a ~82000-word historical thriller mystery fiction manuscript that needs detailed structural and line editing. I need a not-so-new, fairly experienced editor who can get the job done in less than 2 months. When the edited manuscript comes back from you, it needs to be polished and publishable. Please list your credentials, reasons elaborating why you're the most suitable to work on this manuscript, and previous (and preferably similar) editing experience, if any. Please attach your edited version of the sample (attached to this post) to your proposal as your sample. Please turn "track changes" on in MS Word and feel free to add comments. My total budget for this project is Rs. 20000 (~$350). Proposals exceeding this amount will not be considered. It's understood that you're expected to be discreet with the manuscript and not disclose it to anyone anywhere. Please don't share any material we send you (including the sample attached here). Thank you! Looking forward to reading your proposals!

Hi there! I would love to help you polish your manuscript so that it truly shines! A little about me: I am a professional proofreader with excellent editing skills and a strong administrative background. I have edited full-length novels, multiple eBooks, company brochures, many items of business correspondence, etc. Some recent comments from my clients: “Such a skilled and professional editor - really knows her stuff! Her comments were/are extremely helpful to my novel. Communication and timeliness of the deliverable were also above expectations. I would like to work with her again!” “She is amazing! She's personable, hard working and incredibly knowledgeable about proofreading/editing. I hope to hire numerous times in the future. Hire her! ” I have lived and worked all over the world, and bring this global perspective to my editing projects. In addition to my proofreading qualifications I am also a member of the Microsoft Word Expert Club. I am a native English speaker, and my score for the US English LEVEL 3 exam - the highest level English exam on Freelancer - is 93%, earning me a ‘US English Expert’ Elite badge. In addition, my UK English exam results put me in the top 5%. Thank you for considering my proposal - I would love the opportunity of working with you!

I recently edited a semi-autobiographical thriller. I have edited and proofread books, articles, websites, and promotional material for many years in both British and American English. I am detail-oriented and accurate. My profile shows test scores in the top 10% for English language, academic writing, UK English basics, understanding differences between UK and American English, and sentence structure and in the top 20% for editing, US English proofreading, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and English for business. I'm proficient in MS Word and can be available on Skype. I am well-read especially in health, spirituality, religion, history, historical novels, fantasy, and young adult fiction. I’m in Mexico over the winter before returning to the USA. Comments from one author whose book I edited: "the book is definitely far better... Blushingly awkward paragraphs and chapters have been [edited]... In this way, this new English edition has become the new standard for the book...Also, as soon as one reads a few lines, one is grasped by a very fluent and agreeable versatility, a sympathetic level of English, transforming it into a well-balanced level of accessibility and has to read on. Job v. well done..." "Fantastic freelancer. Works diligently according to project specifications and communicates very well. Highly recommended!" “He went beyond the call of duty and treated the author's work with respect. He was meticulous and thorough. Highly recommended.”

To Whoever It May Concern, I am a final year undergraduate engineering student. A fascination for all things literary is the major impetus behind this application. Research and academia truly fascinate me- I am currently working on my bachelor thesis at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I have completed similar projects through Freelancer before, and am quite confident that I shall be able to do a good job. As far as my writing 'career' goes, it has always been an activity that I derive immense pleasure from. I was the editor of my college newsletter last year. Also, I have co-authored two papers (the first of which won an award for being the 'Best Paper Presented' at the 13th International Mineral Processing Conference and the second one is being prepped for publishing). Kindly do not dismiss me for being a newcomer to this field -I assure you of my utmost dedication to the task at hand. I shall submit multiple drafts until they meet your satisfaction. Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries or wish to see a sample writing job.

To whom it may concern, My name is Allison. I will provide editing of your manuscript within 50 days. I will provide ample comments and utilize track changes as you noted in your posting. I have two degrees in English Literature (BA, MA). I attended Le Moyne College (BA) in Syracuse, NY and the University of York (MA) in York, England. I have written many academic papers, including a 55 pages dissertation for my MA. As an undergraduate, I worked as a Writing Fellow for my college's academic support center. There, I assisted students with a variety of academic papers. Before beginning this position, I completed a course in composition instruction. Not only do I look at grammar and sentence structure, but I am also skilled at looking for structural cohesion. I am detail oriented, but can see the bigger picture. I love collaboration and look forward to working with you. Thank you for your consideration.
