I’m a native English speaker and English teacher working at the American University in Cairo. I have carefully read your project description and I strongly believe I can help you in this important editing/proofreading project. I have participated in a great number of creative writing, business writing, rewriting, proofreading, editing and copy-editing tasks for years. However, I'm positive that this job requires meticulous attention to detail as a professional copy editor 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. Furthermore, I understand completely that you need an expert in editing and proofreading—someone who won't just detect errors, but recast improperly written sentences and give constructive feedback and deliver the intended message. 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. The finished product will include two copies of the edited text, one that shows the changes, and one that incorporates all of the changes.

Hi there, Why should choose me for your project? Because I am a seasoned proofreader and copy/line editor, with 22 years of experience in my area of expertise. I have worked with #1 Best Sellers, to those who are just starting out in their writing career and everything in between, and I treat every project with the care and attention it deserves. So more importantly, what will I do for you? I will check your novel for spelling, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure and flow and enhance the vocabulary where necessary. I use track changes in MS Word and would provide you with a tracked and clean/final version after the project. I will be honest, right off the bat, and say that I have written a few character profiles in my time, but would be happy to ask a close friend (who writes these often and someone I trust) to deal with writing the character, species and places. I very much look forward to working with you! Best regards Stephanie

I have over twelve years experience in editing and during this time, I have edited thousands of books, websites, academic/thesis papers, essays, scripts, etc. I also specialize in editing writings from non-native speakers. I am willing to do a sample for free, however, you would have to message me the file since Freelancer no longer allows us to submit files with our proposal. Please see my reviews and exam scores. My price is negotiable. Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope I can work with you!

I would be happy to help you with this assignment. Your requirements on this proofreading task are clear so far but, still I have some questions, If you don’t mind. Does the reference section need any changes? Is it only about grammatical proofreading or do we need to modify the content as well? Please feel free to contact me if you would like to see samples or if you have any questions. I will assure the best turnaround, a plagiarism free high quality paper. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards,

Yes, my fee is higher than some. But if you send me a chapter of your book to edit for FREE, I think you will see why you should hire me. You will receive tremendous value. My method, developed over 38 years as an award-winning journalist and wordsmith, is to edit a book three times: First, to evaluate its total concept, correct errors, and smooth out the rough edges; second, to add creative touches and suggest meaningful changes; third, to make sure the text flows flawlessly and connects most effectively with readers. All this takes extra time and dedicated focus. Among the books I've edited are a children's story, a self-help book, an entrepreneurial guide, two spirituality journals, thrillers set in Africa and the Mideast, and a young adult romance novel. Talk to you soon!

Hi, Please provide the word count of your novel for an accurate bid. What's it about? Why do you need detailed character profiles (don't know any publishers that require that ... ). I am a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience outside of this site - writing, editing, publishing, teaching creative writing and doing manuscript consultations. I am very familiar with story structure, character development, dialogue, etc. Please see my reviews and portfolio on my profile page. Thank you.
