Hi, 30 articles at $1 per 1000 word articles does not equal $250 but your project budget range is $250 to $750 therefore we are all unable to bid less than $250. I would be happy to edit each article for $1 and give you feedback that you could stop making the same mistakes. I have taught English in Canada, U.K. and Thailand. I have also taught online to people of many different nationalities therefore am familiar with which mistakes are more common to certain nationalities. Please see PMB for your sample. less

Would you like an English teacher to work on you texts? I have been an English teacher in Warsaw for more than 8 years, and I know how important quality writing is. Not only do I have experience in checking and critiquing written work, but I have also done quite a bit of proofreading on the side. I've taken a look at the sample text, and there are a few things to discuss; but honestly, I haven't yet figured out how to send buyers a message. Message me and I'll reply with my critique attached. Meanwhile, If you'd like to see samples of _my_ writing, you're welcome to visit http://www.scribd.com/KevinMarston/shelf and http://sites.google.com/site/bizenbiz/ . The bid amounts and completion time indicated above are to be ignored-- they will depend largely on the actual size of the project. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

I attach edited sample. You do not specify how many pages so it is difficult to bid accurately. These details can be discussed. Have a look at my edits. It is a small sample but you will get the picture!

I am new to freelancing, but this is something I've always wanted to do. I believe in grammar, punctuation, and the Oxford comma. I have an extensive vocabulary and the skill to use it without sounding pretentious. Due to the fact that I am new at this, I do not have experience. If, however, you are willing to let me prove myself I know you will be happy with my work. Here is the sample piece, edited: The Laser Sharp State of Consciousness Under Hypnosis The expression of hypnosis is very subjective. This makes it difficult to convey it with words. For that reason, you will often find poetic definitions of hypnosis. Poetry, however, is not palatable to everyone. So to make the experience of hypnosis easy to understand, we will use an analogy. Perhaps a comparison of light to our consciousness will be the easiest to understand. Light Has Many Similarities to Our Consciousness Just as light can sparkle and expand, so too can our consciousness. Inversely, our consciousness can dim and shrink just as light does. So, in several ways, they are distinctly similar. Our Day-to-Day Consciousness Our daily consciousness is like a lighthouse; a beacon shining out in all directions. We eat, think, love, worry and talk. I hope that meets with your approval. Thank you for considering me. less

Bid is for 125 articles of 1000 words each, since bid less than the minimum amount specified by you ($250) is being denied. (You need to change it to amount for 30 articles of 1000 words each! :-)) I have an IELTS band of 8 and I love grammar! Also, by nature I am a critique. I have worked as an English teacher and am one currently too,though, informally. Have attached the reviewed document with PM. Rates are ,however, as follows: proofreading - $1 for 500 words critique - $1 for 250 words (critique would be concise and clear) less

A good command of both written and spoken english language. I also observe strict adherence to stipulated timelines. Your Proofread and Critiqued excerpt: THE LASER SHARP STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS UNDER HYPNOSIS The expression of hypnosis is so subjective that it is very hard to express it in words. That is why you will find poetic definitions of hypnosis. Poetry is not edible to everybody, to make the experience of hypnosis easy to understand we will use an analogy. Perhaps, the analogy of light as our consciousness will be best to use. Light has many similarities with our consciousness. Similar to light our consciousness sparkle, expand and also it get dim and shrunk. Our day to day consciousness Our daily consciousness is like a lamp, a lamp glowing in all directions.
