Hi, I can do a really great job with proofreading your children's book. I currently run my own editing business, where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service for several years I have put in a fairly low bid in order to be competitive on Freelancer, but please don't wonder if this will affect the quality of the work. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done to a high standard by your deadline or sooner. For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Check your book for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Comment on appropriateness of language and images for age group - Ensure consistency with images - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

If you view my profile you will see that I registered with Freelancer in February this year and I have 20 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, transcribing, editing and proofreading. My ongoing freelance work includes editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was very satisfied with the result. Other recent work has included rewriting a 24,500-word book to change it from a children's book to one suitable to be read by adults, and the result was described by the client as "perfect". A second book for this client, this time 35,000 words, restructuring the chapters as well as proofreading the content, was also "perfect". (These jobs were via Elance.) 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 11 books to publication. Having been a teacher of English in high school for several years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For six years I have been a member of a children's writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own.

Hi, I have impeccable English. I am an experienced proofreader and no job is too big or too small for me. Apart from the normal proofreading practices, I would also make comments on the illustrations, as you requested. Don't worry, my services are cheap, I am just charging you the minimum amount. Another reason why I am charging the minimum amount is so that you do not have to go through the headache of waiting for any lower bids to come in and can award me the project straight away. The sooner I start, the sooner I will finish! Thank you for reading my proposal. Please contact me.

Please feel free to discuss my qualifications and how I they can contribute to executing the task in a timely and qualitative manner.

Hi, I would like to write for you. I like writing children's stories. My English is excellent; it is my first language. I have written more than 50 stories for kids including 44 rhyming stories for a client at Elance. I am a published (or you can say in the process of being published) children’s short story writer for a Houston based client. I have recently completed the writing of two children’s rhyming short stories for two different clients through oDesk (Upwork) and many more. I have edited more than 20 children’s stories, manuscripts, web content, ebooks and even a biography. I hope to write for you and look forward to being selected. Best Regards, Evelyn.

Hello! I am very interested in your project and hope I am lucky enough to work with you! Children's books are something I have always loved and I would love to be part of the process for one. I have always done well with editing and with making sure written projects flow well. They are also the project types I enjoy the most. When starting on an editing project, I start out by reading the project in its entirety. Next, I make edits based on the writer's goals. Then, I make the edit and include suggestions and comments. Lastly, I send the altered version of the project to the writer for review and make any changes requested. Over the course of editing, I communicate with the writer as much or as little as he or she needs. My ultimate goal is to make sure the final result is everything the writer wants it to be. I hope to hear from you soon! Please let me know if you have any questions or would like anymore details. Thank you!

Aside from my skill to proofread, I am a mother of a 4 year old and we love spending our time together learning to read. I personally look for books appropriate for children based on content and how they are written.
