I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 131 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing, proofreading, and transcribing. I am happy to do a sample of several pages or a short chapter, to see if you like my work. One of my earlier projects with Freelancer was to edit a 65,000-word science fiction novel, and the client was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer, and an article about me was published by Freelancer. In February this year I took on a role as the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, an online journal, and this year I have also begun as the copy editor for the Blind Foundation of New Zealand. For two years I was a copy editor for Elsevier Science Publishers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, rewriting text by authors who were not native English speakers. I have worked with individual clients to bring more than 20 books to publication and five of these clients have rehired me to work on further books. Having been a teacher of English in high school for four years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own. I would use the Track Changes tool for your novel, inserting comments where necessary.

Hello, What's the subject matter of your novel? I'd be happy to provide you editorial assistance in 20 weekdays (Monday-Friday).

Hi, my name is Georgia and I'd love to assist with your project. As a bit of background about me, I'm a recent graduate of the University of Queensland, ranked in the top 30 universities worldwide, where I completed my Bachelor's degree in Law/Arts, with first class honours. I've previously worked as a research clerk/paralegal with an immigration law firm in Brisbane, as well as managing my own highly successful online retail business, instaLens. As such, I have spent the past six years writing, drafting and editing essays, proposals, research papers and legal documents in an academic and professional context, with meticulous attention to content, style, grammatical accuracy and flow. I've read over your project description and would be happy to assist with proofreading, editing and rewriting your book. As I have previous experience with writing, drafting and editing professional and creative documents, including fiction and non-fiction books, as well as an extensive and sophisticated grasp of the English language, I think I would be a great candidate for the job. As I am brand new to Freelancer, I would be happy to assist at a small cost in order to build my reputation. I am currently taking some time off work to travel, so have a very flexible schedule and workload at present and could complete this project quickly. Thanks for your consideration, and good luck!

Hello, my name is San (short for Sally-Anne). I am interested in helping you polish your novel. Why choose me as your editor? Well, I am a trained professional writer and editor and as part of a broader journalistic career I have commissioned books, collaborated with authors to develop books and edited books under contract, doing everything from analysing structure to proofreading. In all, I have edited more than 50 books, ranging from the human condition, Australian Aboriginal culture and small business accounting to poetry and children’s books, and more. I have limited experience with non-fiction books, although I am currently working on one at the moment. I have, in my capacity of being a friend who is an editor, helped a couple of friends with their novels and children's books and I was, in a former life, fiction editor on a magazine in Australia when magazines still ran short fiction. I have an analytical mind and an editor’s eye for detail (which can be a bane when reading novels because plot inconsistencies and poor copy editing disturb me). I won't merely run your book through simplistic computer-based editing software (or subcontract it to other freelancers, as some of your other bidders do, as I found out inadvertently). My background includes more than two decades working fulltime for national newspaper, magazine and book publishers in Australia. Please contact me if I can tell you anything more to support my bid and to discuss how I can benefit your book.

Hi, I am a professional proofreader, copy-editor and writer with over 10 years' publishing experience. I promise to correct misspellings, rectify any grammar mistakes and generally polish your text to make it shine. Examples of work corrected: , books, e- books, essays, CVs, letters, marketing material, coursework, job applications, magazine articles, blogs and websites. As a freelance proofreader I offer proofreading and editing services to both businesses and private individuals. Whatever the project and whoever the client, my aim is to provide an excellent service. As a editor, it's my job to understand exactly and deeply what your writing is about, so that I can help make it everything you know it can be. Whether light or substantive editing is what you need, whether you want your voice retained or developed. I'm certain this description is too long-winded, and if you've made it to this point, kudos! Please contact me so I can put on one of my metaphorical hats (or actual, if you prefer) and get to work! Best Regards, Micheal

I am a student at the International Baccalaureate and understand that some people need some help with their lack of english. As a young student, i like to read books and dont mind checking the sentence structure, grammar or so. I have several friends which may help aswell, making the novel look professional and fun/stylish at the same time. Getting this project would just help me get better and prepared since I want to become a translator in the future. This will just enhance my abilities to select the right grammar for each situation and other. This is why I would be glad to help you proof checking your novel ;)

My education allowed me to develop excellent writing skills, including spelling and grammar. 3) Your project will be completed within seven (7) days. 4) I will charge only $750 to edit your entire novel. Thank you for taking the time to read my proposal. Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like me to send you a sample of my work. I hope to hear from you soon!
