Hi – I am a native English speaker with excellent proofreading and editing skills. I was born with the ability to spot grammar and punctuation errors from a mile away. My proofreading/editing speed is about 3,000 words per hour if the quality of the English is good. It may be as little as 2,000 words per hour to improve poor quality writing. My hourly rate is $25 / £16 and I am free to work on most days, 7 days a week. Thanks and best wishes, Dan

Hi, I am available immediately, so can start work right away on your project. I am a native English speaker with an excellent eye for detail and extremely high standards in my work. I am in the process of completing a proofreading qualification from a prestigious UK publishing training company and have passed their Grammar at Work course with merit, so I have an excellent knowledge of grammar and correct English usage. I am experienced at using Track Changes in Microsoft Word. I will ensure your articles are thoroughly proofread and checked for grammatical, punctuation and spelling errors, as well as formatting and style, including capitalisation, italics, font, numbering, lists, tables etc. If you require, I can also improve the flow of sentences and ideas, and ensure correct and consistent use of language. I can edit citations, references and footnotes if necessary. I am an efficient and organised worker, so articles will be completed quickly. I have excellent communication skills so will keep you informed as necessary and will respond quickly to any queries. Lastly, my bid price is competitive to reflect the fact that I am fairly new to this website and so am keen to gain reviews and experience. I can guarantee that you will receive high quality work for a very reasonable price. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries. I hope you will consider me for your project. Best regards, Rowena.

I am a freelance journalist based in Pune, with an experience of more than 15 years spanning book-publishing, e-learning, technical writing, online media and print media industries. I have worked as a full-time editor and writer for leading national financial newspapers such as Economic Times and Business Standard, online media organisations such as Iris and premier e-learning cum technical writing firms such as Lionbridge in Bombay. I quit my full-time career more more than two years ago and have since made a mark in freelance editing cum writing. I have a nose for details and a flair for writing; rest assured that you will get bang for the buck as far as your editing requirements are concerned.

Hi! I have experience in editing press releases and academic articles (I have three university degrees in English Literature) on a variety of topics. As such, I'm confident I have the skills you require. I work fast (as you specify) so I will be able to get documents edited and returned to you as soon as you need them - or sooner! I also have excellent attention to detail when editing. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope to hear from you soon!

For your basic requirements, I can ensure you to clear my email account around the clock, even skeletal coverage during vacation periods. Further you will look for a relaxed, enthusiastic, highly positive individual like me. And a graduate of the University of Hardknocks. I have seven (7) years of experience as a copy editor, re-write editor, and proof-reader with an english publication of general circulation in Cebu, Philippines (The Freeman Daily and SunStar Daily). I also have seven (7) years experience as a medical representative with two (2) pharma companies, one local (Doctors Pharma) and one foreign (Glaxo Philippines). Finally, I have sales and marketing experiences as distributor of STP Specialty Lubricants, bio-dynamic organic fertilizers, and ref and airconditioning systems. All the above qualifies me as an all-around writer with plenty of free time to spare. I am not an engineer, but I used to lecture maintenance engineers about lubrication and special lubricants like STP 5000 miles before change oil. N.B. The woman behind my photo is my Virtual Assistant. You hire me, you get two for the price of one.

I'm an experienced proofreader/editor with in house publishing experience. I've done editing for UN, Red Cross and various other organisations. I'm new to this particular platform which is why I'm discounting my rate temporarily. Rest assured it will be going up soon! Professional service, high standard guaranteed.

I am a professional copy editor and work with a wide variety of documents. I possess accreditation from the Publishing Training Centre, as well as a first-class degree in Creative & Professional Writing and a PhD in English. I am therefore highly skilled in written communication and have a strong grasp of spelling, grammar, structure, tone, and regional variations. I also provide clients with comments on their work and have received consistently positive feedback. As a copy editor and proofreader, I know the importance of taking a meticulous approach to the material and paying attention to detail. I am always punctual and reliable, and I devote myself fully to the assignment at hand. Moreover, I always keep in mind the intended readership and appropriate language/tone. In addition to my editing work, I have contributed reviews and articles to several publications and have spent time working at a magazine. I have also recently been engaged in writing literary theory guides for an educational website, the emphasis being on making theoretically dense material accessible and engaging. Thank you for your time. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information. Best regards, Lucinda Ireson

Hi. I have over 8 + years in writing and editing articles. I have also completed a professional course in copy editing and have worked on several assignments like this before. I am confident that I can be of good assistance in this project of yours. I will also be using the track changes mode in Word, which will highlight my suggestions in addition to what you have written originally. The requirement of 20 to 25 pages an hour is not an issue and duly noted.
