Dear Prospective Employer, Casey invited me to your project and I believe I'd be the perfect fit. I hold a BA in Creative Writing and a Minor in English. I’d like to point out that I’m originally from West Virginia (US) so I’m a native English speaker. Please contact me for samples of work as I have plenty to show you and I’m unable to attach any files to this first message. I’m open to discuss this further with you. I should then be able to update my bid accordingly. I am a professional freelance writer. I have been working in the industry since 2007 and I pride myself on providing exceptional content. My experience includes writing and editing content for a variety of Internet-based clients. I consider myself a seasoned, excellent wordsmith capable of producing clear, concise and factually interesting pieces. I'm an experienced writer with a high standard of English. I am very much able to apply the rules of grammar and syntax correctly and write with flair. I enjoy using my passion for writing to help businesses achieve the success that they desire and deserve. I am certain that my writing services would be an asset to you and your business. I invite you to get back to me so I can share a few samples with you. Thank you for your time and consideration, Bella

Hi! I'd love to discuss your project with you further! As you'll note from my profile, I'm quite comfortable with book writing, both fiction and nonfiction. and can write, edit, and revise in nearly any style and with nearly any tone to help make your voice and your story stand out. As previous clients can attest, I pride myself on high-quality work. I'm not happy with the final product unless you're thrilled with it, and to help make that happen, I take great pride in extensive, clear communication to make sure we have the same expectations of the final product. I've written and edited multiple published works previously, and would like to share my experience and skills with you; I'd love to hear more from you about what precisely you have in mind and how you might see this relationship working best. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you have, or to see more samples of previous work besides those shared in my portfolio. Thanks much for your consideration!

Hi, The system wouldn't let me bid since I'm in Calgary. I changed it to Vancouver in order to message you. Since most of the bidders aren't even Canadian ... I don't know how they managed it. If you don't find someone right in Victoria to edit for you - I would love to be considered. I know it's nice to meet in person but I'm used to doing a lot of work long distance. An accurate bid will depend on the word count. I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience outside of this site - writing, editing, publishing, teaching creative writing and doing manuscript consultations. I've edited a few memoirs in the past year - including my own. Please see my reviews and portfolio on my profile page. Thank you. I look forward to discussing the possibility of working with you further.

Hello! I am Lori and I am a Doc on leave, taking time to do what I love 2nd best, writing/editing. I have been a writer/editor for 25 years now, and have worked on everything from press releases to great American novels :-). My editing work has been very successful, as I have seen 22 fiction books go to print, 18 biographies, 7 YA books and 9 Children's. In addition, I have written many academic articles and as I am not the researcher, every piece I have done that is in print has a NDA with it. I would first review what you have, then make my suggestions, or "how-to" and working with me, I will start ASAP connecting the dots into a beautiful masterpiece. And, your satisfaction- GUARANTEED! I communicate regularly and will ask questions to make sure your message is clear. I like to have an open line between us so that you know your voice is still writing the compilation, and I know I am meeting your needs. Stick with me, and you will not be disappointed, but rather successful! My best, Lori

Hi, I'm Rohan and I'm ideally suited to proofread and edit your series of short stories. I'm a skilled writer and editor with a bachelors degree in Literature and Creative Writing. Furthermore, I have worked as an Editor for several lifestyle magazines and Publishing Houses, and as such I'm a tried and experienced veteran of the editing industry. As an Editor for a leading Publishing House (Penguin Random House) I have edited and formatted several high profile manuscripts that have come my way. I can go over your entire text minutely and weed out every instance of language inconsistency or errors (grammatical, syntactical, or spelling.) I also happen to be a "Preferred Freelancer" in this site with a great set of reviews and as such you can trust my services. Please message me with further details about the project, for example, the word count, your deadline, etc, so that I can give you a more accurate quote. Thanks, Rohan.

Hello and a good day to you. I managed to have a look at the details provided in the description and based on what I saw, I believe that I am the most suitable candidate for this project. I am a major in the English Language, and I have done countless work in various areas of writing such as proofreading, editing, website content development, creative and academic writing as well. Like everything in life, there is always room for improvement and with that in mind, I always take the time to work on bettering my skills as I grow. I can talk up a storm but good work speaks for itself, so feel free to have a look at my portfolio and request other samples of my work. Thank you for considering my application and I hope we can speak further regarding this possible opportunity.

As an editor, I am fully committed to every project that I work on. I take great pride in my work, and will go above and beyond to ensure that everyone with whom I work completely is satisfied. In addition to being an editor for articles and academic papers, I have worked on two different books so far as an independent editor. Books are my passion, and the reason that I chose editing as my career. As well as being an editor, I am a writer on the side. Working as a ghostwriter for blogs has given me a deeper appreciation for nuance and subtlety of style that I may not have achieved as an editor alone.
