Hi, I would be delighted to provide you editorial assistance in 20 weekdays (Mondays-Fridays), with the work delivered on or before August 15, 2015. I accomplish editorial work with my desktop PC, Microsoft Office programs (2010, I hope that would still be acceptable), and a comprehensive grasp of the subject matter I choose and accept to work on every time. Brought up in an originally agricultural land and raised by a farmer (my father), I have gained a general understanding of agriculture. Since 2008, I have been a full-time freelance editor and a certified professional. I have edited and formatted master's and doctorate dissertations of student-academic authors from overseas universities, such as Lehigh University, Monash University, Walden University, and University of Maryland, among others. As a native English speaker from the Philippines and a dependable service provider since the past few years, I have done extensive editing, proofreading, style reading, as well as formatting of written documents varying in length and subject matter (please visit my profile page for details). My editorial experience spans two decades beginning in 1989, when I became a writer and editor for a college newsletter. I hope I could be of help to you. Thank you for taking the time to review my proposal and profile. If you have questions, or if you would like to discuss my pricing, just write back and I will respond shortly. Sincerely, Al

Hello, Good day to you. I am very much interested in the Agriculture textbook reformatting project you recently posted. As stated in the job posting, I am a new graduate of the Department of Animal Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife Nigeria and also operate a small-scale farm thereby meeting your professional and educational background for this project. I have read through both attachments (the before and after) and understand the requirement of the formatting. The before has content that needs to be formatted to bullet-format for easy reading by forth graders with each paragraph in the before broken down to form a sub topic with the content of that paragraph formatted into bullet format. I am open to further discussion for this project and can offer a 10 page reformatting sample according to your instructions to be able to ascertain work quality and the ability to follow instructions to the letter. Please feel free to contact me so we can discuss further. Looking forward to your response. Thank You

Hey there! From the files attached what I got is to convert the detailed and paragraph style content into bullet points style and that too making the sentences more simpler. Also I have the time and the skills required in MS Office, only I'm not studying agriculture, but I have taken biology in my college, so I understand all the concepts also the points in the sample I were familiar with some of them. So if you consider me lets discuss in PM.

Hi Sir, I have checked both the samples and I have totally understood what you need. I haven't read agriculture precisely but I have read biology (both animals & plants ) and chemistry so understanding the terms of this book isn't a problem for me. As for my experience I have already styled a book of around 150 pages for an australian client. I am a SOFTWARE ENGINEERING student now and so I have a very good knowledge of MS WORD 2013 64 bit, I use this software a lot for my reports and assignments, so I can help you in your work with my best EXPERTISE. I am sure you will be totally satisfied with my work and I assure you that the work will be completed before 15th August. I will wait to hear from you Moaz

Thank you for taking a moment to consider my application for your agricultural book project. The first thing I noticed after viewing the before and after versions was that the new text is delivered as bullet lists rather than block paragraphs. I can guess that the reason for this is to enable the reader to better navigate the information. I have limited hand-on experience with agriculture but a high degree of interest and a background of reading about similar topics. There is one handicap I should make you aware of right away: while I have multiple PCs, each loaded with MS Word, the most recent version I have is 2010. If that doesn't disqualify me from consideration, I can speak of my other general qualifications. While I am new to Freelancer, I have extensive freelance experience on another site where I have no shortage of satisfied clients. I am now trying to build the same work history on Freelancer. Prior to full-time freelance writing and editing, I worked for several multinational corporations as a full-time onsite writer and editor. Before that phase of my career, I taught English composition and literature courses in universities. Away from freelance writing and editing, I serve as managing editor for a literary press. If I can answer additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Best Wishes, Kevin Casey
