Hello, I am a writer and editor with a keen eye for detail. I treat each client's work as my own. I promise high-quality work. You do not need to pay the first upfront before you see my work. Instead, I put it after you receive the first chapter(s) back. That way you have a chance to see my level of detail before releasing any funds. I see published works all the time that have typos or grammatical errors and it really does drive me crazy! It is my goal to make sure none of my clients ever have that happen to them. Please let me know if you have any questions for me. Thank you!

I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 57 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. I do not do formatting of books. I recently edited 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 has recently been published https://www.freelancer.com/community/articles/57-year-old-discovers-a-lucrative-career-on-freelancer-com Other recent work has included proofreading six theses on a variety of subjects, as well as individual chapters of academic writing. 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 15 books to publication and three of these clients have rehired me to work on a second book. 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 document, inserting comments where necessary.

Hi, I'm a freelance journalist pursuing my master's degree. As part of my curriculum I've been professionally trained to execute copy editing tasks like yours with infallible accuracy and dexterity. Take a look at my profile, English qualification and client reviews to further judge my suitability. I'm an avid reader and write short stories myself. I don't mind part payments either. Thanks for this opportunity, I look forward to hearing from you.

I am a native, professional Editor/ Proofreader, re-writer and a writer. My grammar is impeccable in both UK and US English. Reduction of Plagiarism is my specialty particularly in technical and academic documents. Fast and accurate work is my forte. I have written series on travel and my reviews are also appreciated; travel articles include major cities of the world and other leisure attractions. I write and review books, proofread them and edit/ rewrite them. I offer assistance and advice on the plot, the characters and their strengths and weaknesses. I also comment on the overall work. My regular rewriting jobs include: Website content, Company profiles, Constitution framing, Rules, regulations, Laws/byelaws, News articles, Press releases, Sports articles, Biographies and books, Manuscripts and academic / religious texts, Hi-end magazines, Brochures, Legal documents, Technical Texts, Doctorate Thesis, Research Papers and Academic Papers. My work is much faster and my reviews are proof of that; accuracy of output is guaranteed. I explore and edit the following while proofreading: o Sentence formation, o Punctuation, o Editing syntax, o Verb-voice coordination, o Use of articles, prepositions etc. I believe in redoing content that is not satisfactory. I expect a positive response.

Hello! My name is Shannon Kenny. I graduated from James Madison University in 2012 with a B.A. in English and Creative Writing, and from that gained a good amount of experience editing and advising on my fellow students' short stories and novel excerpts. As a writer myself, I am constantly re-reading and re-working my own work to improve on grammar, wording and overall plot. Currently, I am a professional proofreader and copy editor for an advertising agency in Washington, D.C., where accuracy and attention-to-detail are key! Additionally I just finished editing a YA novel for another published author, which is to be published for Kindle in March. I would love to talk to you about your book and get more information on the project! I am happy to split the payment in half as well. Please feel free to contact me at any time!

Hello, I'm an ESL teacher from Canada looking to get my foot in the door on Freelancer, hence the low bid on your project. Don't be mislead by my lack of reviews! I guarantee you that, given the opportunity, I will finish the editing you need on time and with great care. I also have no problem splitting the payment. Throughout my university career (BA in Anthropology) and the last four years of teaching English, I have had many opportunities to hone my writing and editing skills. Having a keen eye for detail has allowed me to produce papers and articles of high quality, and I would love the chance to lend my skills to someone who needs them. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks for your consideration. Allie White

With over 20 years of experience as a secondary school English teacher and school board consultant for ESL, literacy, and English, I have had many opportunities to write curricular documents and administrative materials for the Queen's Press. In addition, I have written academic materials for TV Ontario and the Ministry of Education. I am listed in Oxford and Pearson educational texts as a reviewer and collaborative editor. As I head towards retirement, I turn my lens towards opportunities to write, edit, and stay engaged in the creative process for my golden years. I would like to begin writing my own materials (every teacher has at least one novel in their head) but would like to support colleagues and other writers first. The sooner I have the materials, the sooner I can begin.

I currently have no other projects to complete, so I'll be able to spend all my time and energy on yours. In other editing jobs I have held, I generally earn $5 per 1000 words, which is around 40 mins work for me. I have worked for bloggers, a newspaper and, most recently, on a script for a webseries, so I know what I'm doing with fiction as well as non fiction. I hope to hear from you soon.
