$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I'm looking for a highly qualified Native English Writer that can proofread and edit a manuscript for a small booklet that contains an introduction, ten articles, and a conclusion - in total about 30-40 pages. This individual will be required to have the following skills: 1. Superior writing and editing skills - you must have a solid understanding of English grammar, punctuation, good sentence structures, and spelling skills. You must be able to read a manuscript and modify it so that it's readable, understandable and error free. In other words, you must be able to review the written manuscript and make any necessary changes so that the manuscript can be released for publication. NOTE: I don't require any major editing or re-writing of the content - in other words, all I require is that you edit what's already there. I just want to make sure that what's already there is of the highest writing quality possible and that's it. Once again - no major editing or re-writing of the content please. 2. Willingness to gain deep knowledge of a specific field - you must have a strong desire to learn various web and IT related topics. I currently have 30+ of these manuscripts that are in need of a final review and editing. So, if you do a good job on this first manuscript then I will give you as many additional manuscripts that you like. In other words, this can be a great long-term opportunity for the right candidate. 3. Willingness to take on the unique challenges of this small booklet series - we want this small booklet series to be an unique and fun approach on how to educate and inform our readers when it comes to various web and/or IT related topics. So, this type of writing may require a new way of thinking and explaining things which may be fun and yet challenging - all of which you'll have to become aware of and make the most of it. So, we're looking for only Native English Writers with a strong writing background that are bright and energetic - have strong values - are willing to try something new and different - are committed to continuous learning - and like accountability. If this is you, then please bid on this project and provide me with some of your best writing samples. And remember - if you're looking for a long-term opportunity, then this may be the answer that you've been looking for. Thanks and happy bidding...

I believe I fit your description and can provide a high quality service with satisfaction guaranteed. If you are not satisfied, you don't have to pay me a penny. I have been proofreading and editing on a professional basis for the last 20 years or so. I started out as an Assistant Editor (part of the Editorial Board) with a major English language newspaper in India where I had to routinely edit edit page articles and leaders. My next job was with a small American publisher as a senior book editor. I was promoted to senior editorship after my very first assignment which was to rewrite from scratch, a book on Columbus's crossing of the Atlantic - An Ocean Too Wide - written by a Danish space scientist who said that I had slammed his English into shape. I have been freelancing on Elance for the last 11 years with lots of all 5 reviews to my credit. I am relatively new to Freelancer.com and am yet to be awarded my first editing and proofreading project. I can do a small sample edit for you to see my skills.

Hi, I have experience in writing technical documents, requirement documents, training guide which lead me to understand the importance of proofread. I can perform a quality check on publications like articles, emails, reviews, blogs and webpages. I also ensure that texts due for publication are well written, grammatically correct and accessible. I am good at correct basic spelling, typographical and grammatical errors. I work 12 hrs/week for my freelance, so it takes me longer period in delivering my works, with quality outcomes. Please PM me if my working period is acceptable for you.

I am semi retired after nearly 30 years in the advertising industry, and would like to utilize my love for writing and talent to keep my mind active and productive. Would only work from home. I am currently involved in creative writing from home (various National clients) and Medical Transcription, which I have done for UK and US doctors, without any negatives of typing accuracy, language or with terminology. Am comfortable with Alpha and Alpha-numeric typing and am confident of my abilities. I believe that my accuracy is suitable for assignments and would gladly take on a sample assignment to prove myself.

Hello. I am new to freelancing, but I believe I am the best person for your project! I have superior skills in the English language as I have been a practicing attorney for the past 10 years. I have written briefs, pleadings, as well as performed my own research. I have argued before state and federal courts and conducted many criminal jury trials for the defense. Last year, I was named a Rising Star by Colorado SuperLawyers. I graduated in the top 5 percent of my undergraduate class and hold a law degree from one of the most acclaimed law schools in the United States. Recently, I was certified as a teacher of English as a second language, which required an extensive review of English grammar; I passed my TOESL test with a 97 percent! While I do not have specific expertise in the field of IT and web technology, I have always tried to further my education and try new things. I started taking computer classes when everyone still used floppy discs! As a solo practitioner for the past 8 years, I knew that marketing myself on the web was important. I created my own website and blog and obtained most of my clients from referrals and the Internet. I also speak and write in the Spanish language and can spot difficulties in translating from one language to another. Thank you for your kind consideration. Leslie Castro

Hi. I'm new to this website. I'm a British English language teacher and writer currently based in Turkey. I have lots of experience of proofreading and editing for one of the Turkish government agencies. Unfortunately I cannot show you a sample of this due to data protection and secrecy laws here. I am sure you will be very pleased with my work and you will be happy to work with me long term. As I'm new to this site I need someone to give me the opportunity to showcase my excellent skills. I hope to hear back from you shortly. Best Regards, Julie
