I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 86 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. I don't have a PhD, however, my degree being a B.A. in English. If you would like me to edit a page or two of your paper to see if you like my work, I am happy to do that, at no cost. I have ongoing freelance work editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters and have just begun as the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, another online journal. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer - and an article about me was published by Freelancer. Other 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 17 books to publication and three of these clients have rehired me to work on a second book. 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.

Hi, I am a professional proofreader, copy-editor and writer with over 19 years' publishing experience. I promise to correct misspellings, rectify any grammar mistakes and generally polish your text to make it shine. Examples of work corrected: essays, CVs, letters, marketing material, coursework, job applications, magazine articles, books, blogs and websites. As a freelance proofreader I offer proofreading and editing services to both businesses and private individuals. Whatever the project and whoever the client, my aim is to provide an excellent service. As a editor, it's my job to understand exactly and deeply what your writing is about, so that I can help make it everything you know it can be. Whether light or substantive editing is what you need, whether you want your voice retained or developed. I'm certain this description is too long-winded, and if you've made it to this point, kudos! Please contact me so I can put on one of my metaphorical hats (or actual, if you prefer) and get to work! Best Regards, Micheal
