Basic Information  Job Content The job is to proofread some short articles. Each article contains 250-300 words, and need to be proofread for errors with GRAMMAR and LOGIC. You should proofread in US English and with the style of Spoken English (not Written English). If you know about IELTS, you will know that in the oral section of this language test, the test taker will need to make a declarative answer to the topic that is given by the examiner. Our job, then, is to help test takers practice these topics in advance, and write & proofread high-quality SAMPLE ANSWERS. That's what you are asked to proofread. You should have the software of MS OFFICE to make sure the format is correct. And use the Change Track function in the software. There is a sample document with two articles attached. Please proofread them as a try before bid the task.  Remuneration & Workload The budget of each article (250-300 words) is $0.4. Generally we could provide as many as work you could do. And we advice you do 30-60 articles per day.  Method of Payment We will settle the payment for the last ten days at the 10th, 20th, 30/31th of each month.  Working Hours This is a part-time job, but it is possible that tasks are sent to you every weekday, including Saturdays and Sundays. We are unable to accept writers that work only five days per week. We will try our best to send you tasks in the mornings or at noon, and they need to be finished before that evening. We do not accept delayed tasks.  Contact Details We normally use emails to send tasks, which requires you to check your mail often in case you missed the assigned tasks. If possible, we also wish to stay in touch with you via Skype at all times.

I am definitely the best candidate for this project. Why? Well, it's a very simple reason: I am a Grammar Nazi. I drive everyone absolutely crazy with my insistence on using proper grammar and spelling. Sometimes, this is to my detriment. In this case, however, I truly believe that it makes me the answer to what you're looking for. Now, there's a question you might ask. "So what if you're a Grammar Nazi? Do you have any real experience editing and proofreading?" Fortunately, the answer is YES! In high school, I edited my school's online webizine on a semi-regular basis. I then proceeded to write articles for my university's online newspaper, and usually proofread the articles on my own before submitting them to the paper. Of course, editing newspaper articles is different from editing articles with language similar to the spoken word. That's where my skills as a playwright come in. I co-wrote our school's annual play production and placed an emphasis on very natural dialogue. In 7th grade, I rewrote Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice' in a way that didn't alter the story one bit, but made the language much more natural and understandable. If this isn't enough to convince you that I'm the right person for the job, well, know this: a job like this is more like a dream come true for me. I love ensuring that a piece of writing is absolutely perfect. I hope this proposal sways your decision in my favor! Please get back to me as soon as you can.

I am Writer and Editor with rich experience in editing writing ad co-writing non–fiction books and articles. During my work like general Editor in Chief in many publishing houses, I had responsibility of last reading before written text goes in public. Like Editor in Chief, I often had a task to make good literary product from very poor and bad material, which usually comes from people, well known but very clumsy with words. I used to work under pressure and I know that text have to be ready on time or never.
