Hi there. I would love to work with you on editing your eBook. You haven't specified the number of words/pages, so I am bidding on two hours of editing (approx 3000 words). If this does not meet your requirements I will revise my bid. You can safely entrust your project to me, knowing that I am a Freelancer.com 'preferred freelancer.' Also, if you review my English language test scores, you will see that I have an excellent command of both US and UK English. Here's a little background information about me: I am a native English speaking professional proofreader, with excellent editing skills and a strong administrative background. I have edited full-length novels, multiple eBooks, company brochures, many items of business correspondence, etc. Some recent comments from my clients: “Such a skilled and professional editor - really knows her stuff! Her comments were/are extremely helpful to my novel. Communication and timeliness of the deliverable were also above expectations. I would like to work with her again!” “She is amazing! She's personable, hard working and incredibly knowledgeable about proofreading/editing. I hope to hire her numerous times in the future. Hire her!” I have lived and worked all over the world, and bring this global perspective to my editing projects. I will not let you down. Thank you for considering my proposal - I would love to have the opportunity to work with you!

Hello, I am a native english speaker (U.S. citizen) , living and working in France. I have been successfully working in the language business for over 15 years and as such, have extensive experience in proof-reading and editing novels, ebooks, websites, articles, essays, poetry, etc. My role as an editor is first to make your book error free, with impeccable grammar, syntax, spelling and punctuation. Secondly and most importantly, my role is to grasp the message and intention behind your wording and rephrase and reformulate where necessary, enhancing and strengthening your message. Put simply, my job is to make you shine. May I ask how many words your book contains ? Please feel free to contact me for any questions. Best, Elizabeth

Good morning, Thanks for the opportunity to bid on your project. Publishing on Kindle is very exciting, and I have been a part of several Kindle projects. As a former staffer with a top New York publisher and a freelancer of broad experience, I have the skills to help you get your manuscript in top shape before you upload. I'm also pleasant to work with and responsive to authors' direction. In addition, you'll be working with me rather than an anonymous member of a team. Have a look at my portfolio to see some of the projects I've worked on; you can also view feedback from previous employers in my profile. I'm looking forward to getting back to work after a break to deal with some family matters. My bid is an hourly rate. Once you provide a sample/subject matter and manuscript length, I can give you a quote based on the hours required. Unless your book is super long, 2 weeks will be sufficient to complete the project. My milestones are proportional: 60% of payment due upon completion of Milestone 1, balance 0f 40% upon submission of final reconciled manuscript. Unless your manuscript is extremely short, some of the timeframes other freelancers have posted are not realistic for a quality job. All the best, Lisa

My background in this high-demand environment means that your book will be presented accurately and reflect the hard work put into its production. I am eager to start on your project and ensure a quality outcome. Additionally, I have edited several eBooks in the past and so am able to assist you with the formatting if you require. I understand that as a newcomer to Freelancer with only two reviews, I am unlikely to be awarded your project, but I encourage you to consider my proposal regardless. Please contact me with any questions or for further details. Thank you for your consideration.

At school I wrote and edited several personal statements, common app essays and coursework pieces. I have personally been writing for years, and have attached an extract from my own common app essay. I have undertaken quite an intense literature course at the University of British Columbia that has truly improved my writing. Editing and proofreading is a skill I have acquired throughout my years of creative writing, and I tend to be quite critical and read with a keen eye. The essay had asked applicants to identify a moment when they felt like a failure and how they overcame that obstacle, below is a paragraph of my response: This essay asked me to pinpoint that one point in life where I felt like a failure and without sounding too morbid or alarmingly depressed, I feel like a failure right now. Writing this essay and filling out these applications forces me to look back on my accomplishments, what I really did in the last few years of my life. I hear the excitement in people’s voices as they passionately talk about how they would love to be a doctor and have done 98 hours of volunteer work at one hospital or other. Others who eagerly talk about how they dream of dancing across the biggest stages in all the capitals of the world and how they just got the results back from their grade 8 ballet exam. It was a distinction. Everyone really seems to have their life together, and know exactly what they want. I don’t.

Hi, I have read your project description and understood your requirement very well. I am not aware of the size of your book. But I am confident of editing and proofreading your book for the Kindle marketplace. I am quoting a low fee, since this will be my first project on Freelancer.com, if selected. But this certainly does not reflect my capability. I use the Kindle & Calibre Software for creating, editing and formatting books for Kindle platform. I hold a Masters in Marketing Management (MBA), besides other qualifications and about 20 years of work experience in Marketing, Business Development and Sales in the IT / Telecom domains, handling clients from US, UK, Europe and APAC regions. I have been a freelance writer, editor and consultant for the past 9+ years and worked on several projects for global clients. I have been more active on Elance, than Freelancer.com. I am a native English speaker and writer. All my formal education, up to post-graduate level, was completed in English. I have ghost written 9 e-books on diverse topics for clients worldwide, most of which were published through Amazon and other publishers. I can provide you sample extracts from books that I created for different clients in PDF format, through the message window. All my books were accepted "as is" by my clients. If you need more samples or inputs, please ask and I will provide them. Look forward to working with you on this project. Thanks for considering my bid.
