Hi, I can do a really great job with your proofreading. 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 articles for spelling, US punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity where necessary - Work to your specifications and deadlines Generally speaking the GF index is the purview of the writer, not a proofreader, but I will certainly let you know if any sentence structure of vocabulary is inappropriate for a young reader. Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

I have carefully read your project description and I strongly believe that I can help you in this important editing/proofreading project. I have participated in a great number of creative writing, rewriting, proofreading, editing and copy-editing tasks for years. However, I'm positive that this job requires a lot of attention on the editor's part, as copy editors should have broad experience in linguistics so that they can suggest better alternatives. I'm not only a copy editor but a former EFL teacher, as well – a fact that enables me to use the English language effectively and accurately. I fully understand that you need an expert in editing and proofreading. I'm also aware of the fact that clients not only need someone to detect errors, but they also look for a professional writer who can recast improperly written sentences and give constructive feedback. It'd be a pleasure to help you get this project perfectly done within deadline. I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects, but I usually keep copies of your documents on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. Confidentiality assured!

74 pages is quite a bit longer than the average "short" story. In any case, my US English is superb, as shown by my level 3 exam score: 98%. I'd also like to point out that my clients were so pleased with the quality of my work that they gave me a total of 12 bonuses.

I am good at following directions. I produce top quality writing, on time and on budget. I only accept assignments I am confident about completing on time and with high standards of quality. I am a published writer with work ranging from journalism and criticism to feature film script doctoring. I have a good dramatic sense and a keen ear for dialogue and whether it 'feels' right for the character. I have a good sense about whether a scene is working or why not. In various jobs I have always been the one chosen to over-see, proofread or edit documents from grant proposals and technical, user's manuals to business letters and resumes. My attention to detail and stylistic consistency is much in demand. My experience as a technical writer taught me to describe complex procedures in accessible, layman's terms and without ambiguity. I currently write features and reviews for the Tolucan Times in Los Angeles, CA. I often get assigned the cover story. Clients request me for their story based on liking my style. I have a good vocabulary with which to describe things in a way that is concise and informative. I will communicate closely with the author regarding intent and stylistic questions. I am efficient and precise. Once specifics are known, I can be more detailed in my approach. To discuss the project in detail, please call me at: 818-209-1738. Thank you.
