Hello, I would be happy to proofread your book. What have you written about? Let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Webb, and I’m a professional editor and proofreader with 36 years of experience, which includes editing fiction and nonfiction books, thesis and dissertation papers, peer-reviewed journal articles, reports, and textbooks. English is my native language and my Bachelor's degree is in English. I usually work using Microsoft Word with the Track Changes feature turned on, and can use other programs too. Last year I edited/proofread 27 books. My work is careful and thorough. My services include checking and correcting the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and sentence structure. If any sentences are too long, hard to understand, or awkward, I will fix them for you. Unlike some people, I will not just run your text through a software program, accept all the changes, and send it back to you. I do all the work myself. My work here at Freelancer.com has earned a 4.9/5 rating from my clients, as you can see at https://www.freelancer.com/u/jw010699.html. I also work at Upwork dot com and have earned a 100% Job Success Score and the Top Rated Award; these are shown on my Profile page at [login to view URL]~0143faf7dec1349591?viewMode=1. I would enjoy proofreading your manuscript, and hope to hear from you soon. Congratulations on your new book! Julie Webb jw010699 on Freelancer.com

English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing, proofreading, and transcribing. I have 186 reviews on Freelancer, all positive. In addition, for nearly two years I have been the copy editor for the International Journal of Wellbeing, an online journal, as well as the copy editor for the Blind Foundation of New Zealand. 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 on more than 30 books, including several non-fiction books, and seven of these clients have rehired me to work on further books. I was a teacher of English in high school for four years and for an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language. For six years I was a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the manuscripts submitted.

Hi - I would love to help you with your book! I believe the job of an editor is not only to correct grammar and sentence structure, but also to give the writer a fresh set of eyes with which to view the work and perhaps offer perspectives that the writer previously had not considered. A little on my background: I hold a PhD in English/Literature and so have completed a number of book length projects. I've also had articles published in academic journals. I spent eight years teaching college level writing and literature courses. My approach to writing is based upon taking chances as far as being ultra creative and ultimately making a significant impact on that reading moment in a person's life! You have to be smart about how you utilize words and sentences; screen/page space is a precious commodity not to be wasted. You can actually check out my overall writing style and tone at scribassist.com. All the best, Anne

My clients love my work. They've rehired me 22% of the time, officially at least (it's actually a higher percentage because some of them simply reused old projects for new assignments). I've also received 18 bonuses. Also note my US English exam score: 98% at the highest level of difficulty.
