I’m a native English speaker and English teacher living and working in Egypt. 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. Confidentiality assured!

She is consistent and creative and this book wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for her awesome editing!” “klboots performed an edit and a detailed critique of my 75,000 word novel and I could not be more happy with the final product! I will definitely hire again!!” “Klboots did an excellent job proofreading and editing my novel! She paid attention to detail and greatly improved my book's structure! I plan on re-hiring her very soon!” “I was nervous about hiring off freelancer, based on the content of my book, but klboots was professional and her work was amazing.. The project was finished under the time quoted as well.” “Amazing proof-reader! I have been hiring her for a while and I would not hire anyone else!"

Dear Client, I have seen your instructions and would be the ideal freelancer for this project. I am a native English speaker, and I have experience handling similar projects. I have carried out numerous proofreading/editing tasks for clients on this website, such as books, manuscripts, thesis' both for English and Non-English speakers and for documents which have a similar word count to yours. I will ensure that I look through each sentence and correct issues such as spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, and sentence structure and would be done promptly. Also, I have worked for a newspaper company in the past and regularly provide content for a blog and had to proofread and edit material before publication. You can also look at my reviews for the jobs I have done on this platform. Please feel free to contact me for more information. Regards, Quicklancer15

Hello, I am very interested in your editing project. I have a PhD in English Literature and would be interested in your work based on the stories by Lovecraft. I have edited manuscripts from authors who have English as a second language. It can sometimes be challenging, but rewarding. I'd love to see a sample of the work. Best, Nan

Hello. I understand that you need your short story proofread and I believe that I can help you. I have a degree in English Language and Literature and, also, a CAE certificate guaranteeing a very good grasp on English. I have done proofreading in the past and, as a matter of fact, my first project on freelancer was to proofread a novel, and my employer was so happy with my work that they granted me a five-star review. I understand that, for safety reasons, you would prefer somebody who has English as their mother tongue, but I can guarantee you that there is no difference between my English and that of a native speaker. I can also provide the reasons for every change I make in the text, so you can avoid those errors in your next translations. I also love literature, which is why I chose to study Letters. Needless to say, I guarantee quality work and professionalism and I encourage communication if you believe it to be necessary. The ten days I put down in my offer are just a default and if you need the proofread version earlier, I am able to finish ahead of those ten days. Feel free to contact me if you believe that I am suitable for the job. Thank you and have a good day.

Ciao, come stai? My name is Kanishk and I am the freelancer you are looking for. These are my credentials: - I have a lot of experience writing, and can write reliably and perfectly without mistakes. - I have scored in the 99.94th percentile in English Verbal Ability in national-level exams. - I have been the editor of my college newsletter and the college magazine, and can reliably scan through most of the text with accuracy and precision. Most importantly, I have been a writer myself. I understand how the littlest of mistakes can put off a reader. I understand what it takes to preserve meaning and tone during translation. I have read Lovecraft myself as a teenager, and slowly seeped myself into his work, absorbed by the space he was creating in The Shadow Over Innsmouth. I remember being enchanted and pulled into the existence woven around by him. While reading, I remember furiously taking notes in my own head about the kind of writer Lovecraft was, and the appeal of being a writer like that. This is why I think, I will perform better than the other freelancers. I am absolutely okay with going back and make further changes at no additional fee, if need be. I understand that in writing, perfectionism is essential and I will treat your work as sacrosanctity as I would treat mine. I look forward to talking to you, and look forward to proving myself! :)
