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. I fully understand that you need an expert in editing and proofreading. I'm also aware of the fact that clients not only need someone to detect errors, but they also look for a professional writer who can recast improperly written sentences. It'd be a pleasure to help you get this project perfectly done within deadline. Kindly, check my portfolio for more credentials and authentic samples showing my style in editing. I never discuss or distribute the contents of your documents, but I normally keep copies of your documents on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions.

I would not say I'm the best, since there are many skilled writers here, but what certainly makes me better than the next is a definite command over vocabulary, fluency and lucidity in expression and adaptability, since I can write long, connected sentences or short, simple ones as required or according to requirement. More than anything else, I'm fervently looking for writing-work, so combine my language skills with a heavy dose of sincerity and commitment, and you have an excellent choice at your disposal. I AM BETTER THAN “NATIVE WRITERS.” Looking forward to your positive response. Regards Tanveer

Your minimum bid is too high, unless the material requires an expert in the field. It would be better if you provided a sample to better judge how much work would be required, but a reasonable bid is probably somewhere between $75-100. I've proofread papers and theses on a wide variety of topics, ranging from computer science to math to sociology.

*My bid: AUD 138* Hi, I can do a really great job with proofreading your technical handbook. I currently run my own editing business in the UK where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA, MA, CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service in the UK for several years Based on your word count of 8,000 words, I can put in a bid for 138 AUD. Because of the chosen budget window for your project (250-750), freelancers can't bid lower than 250. If you'd like to assign me the job, I'll help you set up a new project that will allow me to bid the amount of 138. I have put in a fairly low bid in order to be competitive on Freelancer, but please don't wonder if this will affect the quality of the work. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done by your deadline or sooner. I will: - Check your handbook for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity where necessary - Help you set up a new project with a fee of 138 AUD - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David
