Hello, My name is Stephanie and I am an experienced proofreader, copy and line editor with vast experience in these fields. Although a British proofreader, I have vast experience with US, Australian and Canadian spellings and grammar. I have worked for many authors over the years, some who are established, and others who have only just started on their career path of writing. I work with track changes to enable my clients to see all the changes/comments and formatting (where required) that I do. I have experience in formatting in readiness for going to print, or publishing on places like Amazon. I would be delighted to discuss your requirements further for this project. Best regards Stephanie

Hello, I do realize you are looking for an English speaking editor and it's your prerogative to shoot my proposal down. However, if you could spare the time to look into my portfolio, you will find feedback to dispel any doubts you may have. I am proud to have a non-biased disposition, and no topic will faze me. This is a rather voluminous document, hence the protracted time period, which will also require frequent communication with you. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions. Regards Amita

Hi As I understand, you need an editor who has the ability to edit and format your text. I'm interested in getting the job as I’m an experienced writer and editor. I’ve been working in writing and editing line for more than 20 years. I took graduation and master degree in Journalism and MPhil in English Studies. So I know very well how to write, edit, rewrite and improve a write-up. At Freelancer, I’ve also completed several writing, rewriting, editing and proofreading projects. You can see samples of my writing and editing works in my portfolio. At present, I’m attached to FAZA Editing House. If I take up the job, it is my commitment to deliver the work on time. I hope you will find me suitable for your work. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks SM Saifuddin

I hold a Ph.D., I am an author in science journals and a reviewer and associate editor for some of these journals as well as funding agencies. I have published more than 20 peer-reviewed scientific research articles and several book chapters published by the Oxford University Press. I have contributed to multiple science news outlets as well. I have been able to secure to date more that €660,000 for research through grant writing. This experience is relevant to any literary genre, but as a scientist, I am very familiar with manuscripts exposing challenging views about our current world. As the same time, as an academic, I am well trained to entertain the opinion of the author(s) that I am reading with neutrality and personally, I have no issues regarding race. Altogether, I believe I could be a benefit in the process of editing and finalizing your manuscript in the best way. Should you wish to directly verify my credentials, please search Google Scholar for my profile. For any other questions or info, please do not hesitate to reach out!

This sounds fascinating. I am very comfortable working with the controversial subject matter. I have personally read many books on race and religion, since both are important and enlightening subjects. I am an experienced proofreader and editor. I can generally edit 12,000 words per day. I edit for style, content, continuity, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and can verify research and citations. My most recent projects included editing a 4K-word non-fiction eBook in the history genre and an 85K word novel aimed at young adults who like history, science and adventure. Check out my portfolio. I am an accomplished writer and all the samples are my original work, which I edited and proofread myself.
