Hi, my name is Andrew. I am a highly experienced academic writer, proofreader and editor. Please feel free to ask any questions or request samples of my work. I am also more than happy to edit a sample of the required manuscript for you. I am a member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders in the UK and I have particular skills in copy editing and typesetting articles ready for publication. I am currently copy editing two books ready for publication, along with producing the cover for these. I will upload samples, if required, of the 'before' and 'after' so you are aware of the work I produce. I can also provide links to books that I have been credited in and have already been published both as e-books and as hard copies. I have an impeccable eye for detail and always submit perfect work to the highest standard. I am fully proficient with all the relevant software and will always track changes. I will keep in constant communication and submit a tracked copy and a clean copy ready for publication in whatever format you prefer. Thank You.

I registered with Freelancer two years ago and have 157 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing, proofreading, and transcribing. One of my Freelancer projects was proofreading a 35,000-word children's story, and the client was delighted and has engaged me to work on further books for her. I also copy edited a 65,000-word fantasy novel, and the author was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer, and an article was written about me. For six years I have been a member of a children's writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own. For one year I have been the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, an online journal, and about six months ago I began 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 to bring more than 25 books to publication and seven of these clients have rehired me to work on further books. Having been a teacher of English in high school for four years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language.
