Posted almost 10 years ago

£20-250 GBP

Paid on delivery
I need around 20,000 words copy-edited for grammatical mistakes: this is for a book I am self-publishing. The script will be ready early July and I need a fairly quick turnaround; - I'll need the script back by the end of July. It's a knitting book so anyone who is conversant with the world of knit publishing would be a massive bonus and it would also be great if you lived within driving distance of Reading, Berkshire, as that is where I am based and I prefer doing business face to face.

Hi, I am a professional editor and proofreader with experience in a variety of genres. I am a native speaker of English and my spelling, punctuation and grammar skills are excellent. I am also interested in knitting, though I tend to crochet more than actually knit! I would use the track changes feature in Word so you can see any adjustments made. Editing is something that I really enjoy doing, it doesn't feel like a job! Please see my feedback and contact me if you would like any more information. Best regards, Georgina.

Hello! I am currently employed with the North Dakota Legislative Council as their proofreader, and I have been a proofreader/editor for more than 9 years. I am a native English speaker, and I have an in-depth knowledge of the English language and grammar. I have proofread many different types of documents. On a daily basis, I have to produce high-quality work that is not only error-free but also flows smoothly and has a professional appearance. The majority of the work I do is seen by the public, so I have to ensure that my work is the highest quality so the author of the document maintains a good rapport with the public. I would love the opportunity to help you with your project and to show you the quality of work I can do. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you in advance for your time. ~KJensen0711

Hi, How are you? I think I am the right freelancer for this job. I have been proofreading and editing academic essays in the fields of law, medicine and business finance. This would be a topic that I would be glad to work on. I may not live in Reading but I may easily be contacted through Skype if you require a face-to-face meeting. Feel free to send me a message. Thank you and good day! Best, Angelo

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 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 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 can proofread and edit for you both quickly and accurately; I am currently working as an editor for Toxic Magazine and for a small business run by another freelancer on this site, but am looking for some more work to keep me busy. I have an excellent understanding of the English language as well as a precise attention to detail that allows me to spot errors and problem areas very efficiently. I operate with a professional attitude and would love to work for you. If you would like an example of my work, I can edit up to 500 words for you free of charge.

I understand that you need your book to be proofread by the end of July. I assure you that I can finish that even earlier than your desired time. Although I am a fast reader (I've been reading and collecting books for as long as I can remember; I'm now in my mid-20's), I'm very particular when it comes to grammar and syntax. Please contact me to discuss further details. Thank you.
