$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I have a 139 page book (Word document) that I need to have proof read. It's a how-to book for equestrians featuring horse riding exercises. I’m wanting to have someone find any typos, grammatical errors, and would appreciate notes of anything that seems too repetitive - like the use of certain words, ridiculously long run-on sentences, or anything that just doesn’t “flow” or make sense. It has 72,125 words and it's very close to finished, so should not have many issues.

Hello, I would be happy to proofread your book for you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Webb, and I’m a professional editor and proofreader with 36 years of experience, which includes editing non-fiction books, textbooks, self-help books and academic papers in a variety of subjects. English is my native language and my Bachelor's degree is in English. I work in American, British and Canadian English; last year I proofread 25 books. I am also an experienced rider.. My work is careful and thorough, and I have finished 100% of my jobs on time. My services include checking and correcting the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and sentence structure. I will also look for duplication of material within the text and any contradictions in the text (which can happen due to revisions or typing errors). Unlike some “proofreaders,” I do all the work myself; I will not just run your text through a software program, accept all the changes, and send it back to you. My work at Freelancer.com has earned a 4.9/5 rating from my clients, as you can see at https://www.freelancer.com/u/jw010699.html. I also work at Upwork dot com, where my work has earned a 99% Job Success Score and the Top Rated Award. My Upwork Profile page is at [login to view URL]~0143faf7dec1349591?viewMode=1. Please feel free to message me. I would enjoy proofreading your book, and hope to hear from you soon. Congratulations on your new book! Julie Webb Freelancer ID jw010699

I will be more than happy to help you. Please note I have charged higher as I have averaged out how much work is involved in this. I have mentioned I can complete this in 6 days assuming I will take 4hrs a day to review x pages. As this is many pages, it is important to not overlook important errors which may seem very simple.

Hi, I'm Rohan and I'm ideally suited to proofread your equestrian book. I am an extremely skilled and proficient editor and proof reader, with a bachelors degree in Literature. I’ve spent the past four years of my life working for various organizations, newspapers and journals in this capacity. Furthermore, I have worked as an Editor for several lifestyle magazines and Publishing Houses, and as such I'm a tried and experienced veteran of the editing industry. I also happen to be a "Preferred Freelancer" in this site with a great set of reviews and as such you can trust my services. You would probably find people in this site willing to work on your project for a far lower rate in a far smaller time frame, however I am a professional and I've worked with international clients, and I can promise your my unfettered attention and skill sets. My services include: Editing in any style UK/ US. I make sure that there are no grammatical or spelling errors. I work on the sentence structure and word usage. Make sure there is language consistence. Rewrite clunky or poorly phrased sentences. As per industry standards I use 'TrackChanges' in MSWord so you have the option to verify all the changes made. I also offer a running commentary in separate comment bubbles, explaining the 'heavier' edits. (OPTIONAL) Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Rohan
