Copy Edit Revised Academic Article

$30-250 USD

Completed
Posted over 7 years ago

$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I need someone to copy edit the text of a revised economics article prior to submission to an academic journal. The text of the article is approximately 13K words, which covers the first 30 pages of the document. The copyediting needs to be more than just noting where a comma is missing. On top of correcting any pure grammatical mistakes, sentences may need to be restructured to sound intelligent. The structure of the paper is fine and the paragraphs are all in the right places. I am native English speaker and use American English conventions. My coauthors are also fluent English speakers with graduate degrees from US universities. The article will be provided in an MS Word file and is ready for copy editing. Ideally, the file would be returned with all of the needed corrections made in the paper within two days using track changes. Obviously, there will be some corrections that will go awry because it is unclear what is meant in the original text or because of the technical features that are unique to the economics discipline. The file will need to be returned in MS Word format. This article is original scholarship and should not be shared with others or posted in other places. My coauthors and I will retain any and all copyrights to the article, as it is our intellectual property. Thus, we are looking for a good copy editor. Of course, everyone will say they are good, so evidence of expertise is required.

Hello, my name is San (short for Sally-Anne). I would enjoy proofreading your economics article. Why choose me? Well, I’m a trained professional skilled in all facets of editing, from content development to proofreading. I have an analytical mind, an editor’s eye for detail and can edit to US style (see freelancer certification). I have edited a lot of scientific and academic reports and journal articles. I would edit your document personally (not break it up across a team or simply run it through computer software). I can meet your timeframe and I routinely work in ‘track changes’. My background is that I have more than two decades working fulltime for national newspaper, magazine and book publishers in Australia, and for major government departments (primary industries and tax, both of which produce a lot of material on economics). I have also edited more than 50 books covering subjects ranging from the human condition, Australian Aboriginal culture, the Australian forest estate and accounting for small business to poetry and children’s books, health, handcrafts and gardening. As a result of my broad experience, I am comfortable editing in any format on any topic. One of my first jobs on freelancer was to edit a journal article on political economics co-authored by non-native English writers. You can see from the review they posted the level of English I worked with. Thank you for reading my bid. Please contact me if there is anything else I can tell you to support it.

I have had eight months more experience than when I first edited your article, so if you were happy with my work then, I expect you may like to consider me for the revised article. I now have 122 reviews, all positive. In February this year I took on a role as the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, an online journal, and this year I have also begun as the copy editor for the Blind Foundation of New Zealand. I have now worked with individual clients to bring more than 20 books to publication and five of these clients have rehired me to work on further books.

Good Evening, I see that you are looking for someone to proofread and possibly edit your paper for you. I am a native English speaker (check my English exam score for proof) and creative/freelance writer. I understand and except the fact that this is a ghostwriting gig. I was wondering if you wanted the changes tracked or if you just wanted everything to be proofread and edited. I hope to be hearing from you soon.

Hi, I am placing this bid because I was looking for an opportunity since January 2013, to go forward with my academic writings. I have done my masters in Philosophy from Calcutta University with specialization in Psychology and Doctorate in Environmental Ethics. After my Ph.D I have been doing content writing on a part time basis for clients in India and abroad, but most of them were general or promotional. I have 31+years of experience in the academic field and produce only my own content. I have been writing in many peer reviewed journals and well acquainted in the different styles of referencing. My clients have so far; found no opportunity to complain about spelling and grammatical mistakes in my work. So if you consider me to be a part of your projects you are assured of quality work, delivered on time. I have been working with Freelancer since 2013 and enjoying it. I think you will not be disheartened if you give me an opportunity. Thanks and regards . Dr. Rita Roy Chowdhury
