I registered with Freelancer in February this year and have 30 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. I have ongoing freelance work editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was so pleased with my work that he has commended me to Freelancer. Other recent work has included proofreading four theses, 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 12 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 several 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. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own. I haven't written poetry myself for a while but attending a recent launch of a books of poems started me thinking about writing poetry again.

I have experience editing and correcting writings by a Danish/English speaker which required strong attention to detail regarding spelling, grammar and correct use of language. A reference can be provided. My current online writing experience is for an international lingerie community, where luscious description and being engaging on a personal level to my audience was essential. An exert of this can be provided. I have requested a lower fee as I am a new user to Freelance and am currently unrated. Hope to hear from you and look forward to working with you soon.
