Paid on delivery
I have a 128,967 word book which has been copyedited but needs to be proofed specifically for typos and spelling inconsistencies (especially where the typo is a different word). I’m happy with the job the copyeditor did on grammar and punctuation but a number of typos have slipped through so I need someone who can focus specifically on this and is good at spotting cases where the wrong word is used. If interested let me know cost and turnaround time. Thank you.

I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 53 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. I have ongoing freelance work editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer - and an article about me has recently been published https://www.freelancer.com/community/articles/57-year-old-discovers-a-lucrative-career-on-freelancer-com Other recent work has included proofreading six theses on a variety of subjects, as well as individual chapters of academic writing. 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 15 books to publication and three of these clients have rehired me to work on a second book. Having been a teacher of English in high school for several 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. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own.

Hello, I’m a British editor living in Austria. I have carefully read your project description and I strongly believe that I can help you in this important editing/proofreading project. I have participated in a great number of creative writing, rewriting, proofreading, editing and copy-editing tasks for years. However, I'm positive that this job requires a lot of attention on the editor's part, as copy editors should have broad experience in linguistics so that they can suggest better alternatives. I'm not only a copy editor but a former EFL teacher, as well – a fact that enables me to use the English language effectively and accurately. It'd be a pleasure to help you get this project perfectly done within deadline. I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects, but I usually keep copies of your documents on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. Confidentiality assured!

Hi there- I am an MD who has been tutoring ESL writing for over 20 years. I am also a writer in many different formats, and have time off between practices, to do what I love most, read and write. In the copyediting, line editing and proofreading realm, I am very efficient as most of my tutoring involves reviewing college materials and editing. I am the copy/line editor and proofreader for all of this. I would very much enjoy doing the simple proofreading task, and would complete in less than 1 week. I am fast, efficient, and find all issues in documents that have been previously missed. Typos jump out at me, and creating word and voice synergy is second nature to me. Hire with confidence, with one caveat- FL with very high numbers of projects are subcontracting them out to another FL and hence, you have no communication with your hired FL. So, be wary! I guarantee I do all my own work, complete every job on time, and create an exemplary final project. Hope we talk soon! My Best- Lori

Hello, I can do this proofreading for you. I'm a native English speaker with a master's degree and excellent writing and editing skills. I'd estimate that I could do it for $500 in 7-10 days, but it depends on the nature of your writing, how technical the material is, etc. What I'd suggest is that I proofread the first 20 pages or something to that effect and then I can give you a more accurate estimate for the whole book. If you need it sooner than 7-10 days I can probably arrange for that too. Let me know if you'd like to discuss, Lasha

Hello, I have more than ten years of experience doing proofreading. Having worked in the printing industry, I am able to spot what is out of place and doesn't belong, anything that seems to take away from the cohesion of the text, and even details that might escape the attention of the target reader. That is the guarantee of an error-free content for you. I am also able to help with document formatting if the need calls for it. I'd be delighted to help with your project.
