Hi! I'm a freelance journalist pursuing my Master's degree from a top university. It's needless to mention that I've been professionally trained to do editorial tasks like yours with indomitable precision and efficacy. I have several former employers as alibi and my English score (US English Level 3 & UK English 2) on this platform is amongst the best. I'm available for discussions virtually any time of the day and believe that employer satisfaction is the only befitting yardstick to measure success. I'll be looking forward to hear from you. Thanks for this opportunity. P.S. I'll require between 10-14 days depending on the scope of editing involved. My rate for line edit is $3/1000 words & $2/1000 words for proofreading.

I would be very interested in working with you. I am a talented editor, deadline-oriented, and detailed. Most of the clients whose novels and nonfiction books I've edited are published or entering contests. One of them signed on with the publisher GMTA, and her book, Firebolt, was recently released. I've also been hired several times to edit books where other editors missed mistakes, and the authors have all been impressed. Aside from books, I have experience editing press releases, blog posts, and articles. Currently I edit articles for two individual clients, one of which I edit 100 articles a week for. I also write articles for several content sites: Blogmutt, Textbroker, Article Document, and Crowd Content. Here are some of the things writers have to say about my work: “Grace Campbell is a great editor / proof reader..... look no further hire her!” “Grace did a wonderful job of finding errors that my last editor didn't spot. She has an extremely good eye for catching problems. Hire her! I recommend her highly! I look forward to working with you again Grace.” “This editor was very good to work with. She did a great job and got the project finished ahead of schedule.” Editing is my favorite job, because I feel like I'm helping to make an author's work sparkle. I will make sure that every project is satisfactory to your needs and meets your deadlines. My current bid is for line editing. Proofreading would be $130 and would take less than a week.

Greetings! I would love to work with you to complete this task to a high standard. I am a final year medical student in the UK. I have been proofreading, editing, and writing for many years and have publications within my field. I take pride in my work which is your work and I assure quality. I want my employers to have great satisfaction from my work. My articles/essays/reports along with proofreading and reviewing, will demonstrate clarity of expression, be free from spelling and grammatical errors, use accurate and sophisticated technical vocabulary, and use consistent citation with a well presented bibliography. Despite the lower number of profile reviews I have due to me being relatively new, I can provide you proof (if needed) of my work published in world-reknown journals. Being british born and bred means that the English language is of second nature to me so you can expect a thorough successful outcome by collaborating with myself. Furthermore, I have worked with fellow Australian colleagues in the past as you can see on my profile. Also, which I hope will put in me in favour over other candidates, I have proof-read a 300,000 novel (please seem my profile for proof) which has successfully gone on to being published! Look forward to working with you soon! If selected, I will aim to get this done within 7 days of accepting the project. I will ensure that I provide you with regular updates and of any inquiries.(Price negotiable) Thanks, Garry

I am an academic - not an author. I have experience copy editing online course content as dull as DNA and the changing world and as interesting as Gender and Psychiatry in the 21st Century. I have also served as a reviewer for various academic journals. I can read through the content fairly quickly and objectively.

I have been the editor for my school magazine and have edited and proof read more than 100 articles for that. You want someone who knows the English language well and is good at punctuation. I have my summer holidays and have a lot of available time to go through your writing well enough and proof read it. I decide to go through my work in a relaxed manner so I do not miss out any detail or error. I hope you approach me for this proposal.
