Read and edit manuscript for grammar, spelling and obvious errors

$30-250 USD

Completed
Posted almost 8 years ago

$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I have a 90 page manuscript that I need to have proofread for misspellings, grammar/punctuation mistakes and any other glaring errors. Essentially, I'm looking for a fresh pair of qualified eyes to read the manuscript for me. The manuscript isn't that long. The pages are actually only "half" pages (at 8.5" high by 5.5" tall as this manuscript has been formatted for publishing). Should you be curious, the book is essentially a self-help time book based in Scripture. I have a release date already set for the book which is (of course!) approaching faster than I anticipated. So I need a very quick turn around on this particular editing assignment. Also, this project may very well lead to future work if you're interested. As a self-publisher, I don't have a huge budget. But I certainly value your time and efforts and will compensate you accordingly. Thank you for reading and I hope to work with you both now and in the future!

I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 95 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. In February this year I took on a role as the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, an online journal, a position to which I was invited by a Freelancer client. My recent work has included proofreading a number of theses on a variety of subjects, as well as individual chapters of academic writing. For two years I was a copy editor for Elsevier Science Publishers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, rewriting text by authors who were not native English speakers. I have worked with individual clients to bring 20 books to publication and four of these clients have rehired me to work on further books. Having been a teacher of English in high school for four years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language. Your project is an "urgent" one, so I have bid on three days, but if the time frame needs to be shorter or could be longer, please let me know.
