The book is a project I am posting for my senior colleague. He needs someone to index a book which has about 1100 pages in typeset PDF. The book is a new edition and numerous words for the index are be the same as in the previous edition. Page numbers have changed, of course. The proof for index is likely to be available from mid-August and the task needs to be completed within 4 weeks time, (i.e. about mid-Sept).While creating the index, the person also needs to read the text carefully and report back any remaining errors identified.

Hello I have been asked by Matt to look at your editing project and to contact you if anything is unclear. I certainly like the sound of what is clearly a challenge, and I would just like to ask a few questions if I may. How many pages and how many entries are there in the index? Are you indicating that there are reference details throughout the text and each of these will require altering as well, or is it just the actual index that needs adjusting? Part of the project is to also proofread the entire text, can you advise how many words it is as while you have indicated 1100 pages of text, I have no idea how many words there are on average per page. Please note that my bid at present is so that I can say hello. Once I have a greater understanding of what is required then I will be able to give a more accurate figure - I never change the amount requested once a project has been started. Could you also give an indication of the subject matter please? I will not bore you by repeating what you can see with regard to the feedback ratings or the exams passed relevant to this type of project, save for underlining my completion which should help reassure you that if awarded the project, it will be completed. I have allowed 45 days for completion, but that would be on the basis the project was awarded today; that timeline would alter if necessary. I look forward to hearing back from you. Regards David Dundas

Hi - I am a native English speaker with a background in business consultancy, marketing and IT management. You really do need a native speaker for a job like this. My speciality is writing high quality copy and also professional copy editing and proofreading. I ensure that your writing is to a high standard of English (either US/International or UK/Australian or any other variation). I do quite a lot of this proofreading and editing for authors and large corporations all over the world to deliver Quality Assurance on their books, proposals and business documents before they are issued to clients. Many of their writers are not native English speakers. To achieve a top quality finished product, I proofread twice. Once to find the errors and improvements, correct them and highlight them. Then I accept all changes into a second, new document and proofread that to ensure I have not added any errors myself and to double check everything. You receive both documents. To rebuild your colleague’s index and proofread the text as you described seems like one week of work and I have bid accordingly (40 hours @ AUD $40). Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks and best wishes, Dan

Hello, and thank you for considering my bid. I am an American university student and a preferred freelancer here in the site. I have extensive experience in academic editing, but have yet to index. A quick set of instructions and I believe I would fare very well. Thank you for your consideration. Cheers, Colt

Greetings! I have extensive editorial (proofreading) experience. I think my current work over portfolio perfectly showcases my ability to provide you with the content updates you'll need for this kind of project. I have a sharp eye for (and ability to fix) typos, clunky writing, jargon, poor transitions, style inconsistencies and other problems in articles, websites and entire publications. Thanks
