Have you formatted text for publishing before? Yes, I have. Proposal: Hello, I'd like to know more about your project. What’s the subject matter and word count of your book? I'd be happy to provide you editorial assistance in five weekdays (Monday-Friday). I'm an experienced, professionally trained, full-time freelance editor. I've edited, proofread, and formatted written documents, such as books, e-books, journal articles, magazine articles, manuals, PowerPoint slides, web content, as well as university-approved master's and doctoral dissertations varying in length and subject matter while adhering to the required style guide. I provide the necessary recommendations and amendments using the MS Word comment tool and track changes feature, or apply standard proofreading marks when working on files in PDF format. If you’d have questions or concerns regarding my proposal, just send me an e-mail and I’ll respond shortly. Thank you for taking the time to review my proposal and profile. For now I wish you a blessed day ahead. Sincerely, Al

Hola, I have formatted and self-published 3 (hard copy) books of poetry. Formatting an e-book of poetry is obviously much different than formatting for a hard page and different from prose. It really isn't conducive to the digital format because it appears differently on each device and you can't control that. The visual aspect of poetry is important. I don't actually recommend it and I can't help you with it. However, I can help you with the editing. In addition to doing a lot of work with poetry, I understand Spanish at an intermediate level. 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. Please see my reviews and portfolio on my profile page. Thank you.

Have you formatted text for publishing before? Yes, I have formatted my own books that I have published under Elaine M Foust on Amazon. I currently have five books that I self-published. Proposal: I am a retired college level English Instructor, and I have written, co-written and ghostwritten more than 35 books and ebooks--all published on Amazon as ebooks and paperbacks. Some of my ebooks are in my portfolio along with other examples of articles and fiction books. I will work closely with you to edit your poetry so that we don't lose meaning through translation. I have written a great deal of poetry myself in the past. I also studied Mexican Spanish in high school and college for 4 years. I am not fluent, but I have a strong working knowledge of both languages and would be familiar with the structure and perhaps understand how it may have been misinterpreted by translation. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks for your time and consideration!

Throughout the past 14 years I been diligently working on ameliorating my writing skills in the English language. I have always been fond of literature in general, but English literature in particular has intrigued me with its affluence, depth and charm. As a matter of fact, this unique affinity I have for English literature was the primary impetus that galvanized me to delve further into its entrails. In other words, the more I studied it and the more I was exposed to it the more I loved it. This love or rather undying penchant I have for English has ingrained an insatiable hunger in me to prove myself in nowadays fiercely competitive market given the fact that English happens to be my third language. However, my resolve and determination were as sturdy as an oak, which enabled me to overcome the hardest of obstacles and take up the toughest of challenges. Not to mention that my emulousness did not merely stop at content writing, but it took me to a higher sphere, which is writing novels in English. Yes, I am officially a novelist. As I read the title of this task “Proofread & Format a book for publishing” my interest was instantaneously piqued. I am a capable writer, and I do have the ardor to present the highest quality of work.

As an Australian tri-lingual accomplished professional, for well over a decade now, I have worked extensively in Translation/Interpreting the English- Spanish, Spanish-English- language combinations as well as the French language. During this time, some of my responsibilities were: Being responsible for simultaneous, consecutive and site interpreting for Business Executives, Private Corporations and Organizations. This helped to gain experience interpreting simultaneously, and to think quickly on my feet and deal professionally and quickly with high pressure situations. Giving lectures in front of thousands of people in English, Spanish, French and interpreting for such events. This helped me develop excellent public speaking skills and how to deal with and communicate with big groups of people or just a few. I also organized and was in charge of Translation teams to take on countless translation projects for major clients and companies like BACARDI. This included: Websites, Documents, Programs, and Manuals, movie subtitles, proofreading, etc. This helped me to perfect the art of translating- which takes time because you have to get it perfect. My resume contains more information about previous work experience and education. So I would be perfect for the Translation job advertised.

Have you formatted text for publishing before? Yes I have submitted poetry, my own and others, in several competitions - mainly through online submissions. Proposal: I am meticulous and dependable. My dichotomous spirit balances between insightful attention to detail and creative understanding. I love poetry for its originality and various forms. I have a strong grasp of Spanish - I studied it for more than 6 years in high school and at my university. I work to my own high standards while aiming to exceed my customers' satisfaction. I will provide personalized, individualized attention for your project. I am happy to provide more information and references if requested.
