I have the first short story (approximately 3,500 words) of a series that needs a copy edit and proofreading. Your frank thoughts on the plot would also be appreciated. The story is centered in the Washington DC area, so editors with knowledge of the surrounding area is a plus. Include the phrase 'the editor you've been looking for' in the opening section of your proposal.

Hello Only time will tell if I am the editor you've been looking for.... I am sure you will get plenty of people who will say they know the Washington area really well as one needs to make every effort to get awarded projects on Freelancer. I prefer just to say that I am familiar with certain names but it is not an area I personally know well. However I do a great deal of editing for US clients - most receently for the author of this book which was accepted and published by Balboa Press. http://www.amazon.com/Unexpected-Journey-Hero-Awakes-Thunderdragons/dp/1452594503/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404697502&sr=8-1&keywords=james+vollbracht James Vollbracht, the author, will happily provide a personal reference if required and I am sure he will confirm that I didn't hold back on some of my comments regarding structure, style, content etc. I can be blunt, but believe very strongly that constructive criticism is the only acceptable form of criticism. I would like to think that with a 98% pass for US level 3 English, a high pass for Academic writing and nothing other than 5* reviews for my editing and proofreading work will reassure you that I have the necessary skills and I would be delighted to proofread and edit this first section as a 'trial'. I do all my editing using MS Word documents and the 'trackchanges' facility so you can see any and every suggestion/alteration made. Finally, I have an editing rate of $17.50/1,000 word - your budget will need amending Regards David Dundas

I am "the editor you’ve been looking for." I am an experienced copyeditor and fiction writer, with a BA in Creative Writing from the Evergreen State College. English is my native language. I live in Washington, DC, and have done so for some time. I have ample experience with in-depth line editing. I was the Managing Editor of the Administrative Law Review, and have performed countless editing jobs for government and non-profit organizations. I also taught Writing, Research, and Rhetoric at American University's law school. This experience has allowed me to hone my proofreading and grammatical skills to a meticulous degree. I have a lot of experience in critiquing manuscripts and providing thorough, and constructive, feedback on both editorial and plot issues. I would be very excited for the opportunity to work on this project. Although I have many years of editing experience, I am recently trying to break into the freelancing business. I am willing to work at a low rate to gain positive feedback and build a good reputation on the site. I am happy to edit a page of your manuscript as an evaluation. You won't be disappointed! Please contact me if you would like to discuss further.
