Hello, I am an experienced copyeditor and an avid reader of fiction, with a BA in Creative Writing from the Evergreen State College. English is my native language. 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. Additionally, as i mentioned before, I am an avid reader of fiction, and I would be very excited for the opportunity to work on this project. Although i have many years, of experience as an editor, I am recently trying to break into freelancing. I am willing to work for a low price in order to get positive feedback and build up a good reputation on the site. I will happily edit a page of your manuscript as an evaluation. You will not be disappointed if you take a chance on me! Please contact me if you would like to discuss further. Thank you!

Hi, I am a professional editor and proofreader with experience in a variety of genres. I am a native speaker of English and my spelling, punctuation and grammar skills are excellent. I would use the track changes feature in Word so you can see any adjustments made and I can provide a quick turn around time. Editing is something that I really enjoy doing, it doesn't feel like a job! Please see my feedback and contact me if you would like any more information. Best regards, Georgina.

Hello, I am an American freelancer who currently lives in the UK. I specialize in proofreading and editing fiction and non-fiction books. I have worked with one author for two years, proofreading and editing her fiction novels. Her first book received some negative reviews due to spelling errors. She hired me to find those errors and correct them. She was very pleased with my work and we have worked together ever since. I have recently finished working on her seventh novel and I will begin her eighth novel in late June. I have also worked with another author on her sci-fi duology, plus with several other non-fiction authors. I have a meticulous eye for detail. I will check your manuscript for any spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors. I track all corrections and any comments in Word. I would be happy to do the proofreading test for you. In the meantime, please feel free to visit my profile where you will find my 29 positive reviews. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Kathryn

Hello! I am currently employed with the North Dakota Legislative Council as their proofreader, and I have been a proofreader/editor for more than 9 years. I am a native English speaker, and I have an in-depth knowledge of the English language and grammar. I have proofread many different types of documents. On a daily basis, I have to produce high-quality work that is not only error-free but also flows smoothly and has a professional appearance. The majority of the work I do is seen by the public, so I have to ensure that my work is the highest quality so the author of the document maintains a good rapport with the public. I would love the opportunity to help you with your project and to show you the quality of work I can do. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you in advance for your time. ~KJensen0711

Hi! I am Abe and how have you been? Please don't just go judging by my profile reviews, there aren't many that you'll find there, because I am new here to this website, but hey! I am not to this world. I know what you need and trust me I am willing to help you with it too. I've been proofreading and editing for quite sometime now. I have edited 2 books and many other Academic papers. I am also a singer/songwriter, so It's vital to maintain a good set of vocabulary. I hold a Bachelor in psychology and I am pursuing Masters in counseling now. I am also a professional Transcriber, so paying attention to detailing is essential. I am not from the US, UK, CA or AU. I think an editor is an editor no matter what country he/she is from or what color he/she is; but yes, there are 'talented editors' who stand out from 'just editors'. I think I am pretty fluent in English and I believe I have a descent set of vocabulary too. I do have a strong understanding of the American culture, in fact I've followed American culture throughout my life like no other culture, not even my own. I call myself 'Americanophile', I know that didn't make any sense because there's only one 'Anglophile'. Just hit me back if you think I'm worth it and we'll talk, thank you. P.s. please don't mind me bid price, I think quality professionals should be rewarded unhesitatingly.

Hi, I live in America and have lived here for my whole life. Accordingly, I speak English as a native language, of course. I've not done a ton of proofreading work per se, but I have done a lot of transcription (audio to text), which sometimes requires going back and proofreading/editing your initial transcript (if the client wants a summary rather than a real transcript). If this is mostly a proofreading task, not requiring any/much rewriting, I will drop my bid to $120. Anywho, please PM me if you'd like to discuss the project further, as I'd love to be a part of it! Thank you.
