Hello, You have just posted a project by requesting to proofread/Edit your manuscript. A highly experienced proof reader and copy editor with a First Class Honours degree in English Language and a published author of literacy education books, you can be fully assured of my technical ability and credentials. The correct use of apostrophes, commas and grammar and those pesky spelling rules that catch everyone out might make you squirm but send your words to me and you won't believe how transformed your text will be. I completed “online continuing education certificate of course completion - Proofreading and Copyediting 101. Class Registration Number 8900117.” Few Questions regarding of your project: *How many words do you want to proofread? *Let me know when do you need it? To provide top notch quality task, I need to take up to 1 days to research your topics then write. It will take around 3- 4 days to complete the project successfully. Thanks for visiting my page! Look forward to hearing from you. Regards Mike

Hello, I would enjoy editing your murder mystery. Is this a standalone book or part of a series? What is the word count? I will begin by checking and correcting the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax and sentence structure. If any sentences are too long, hard to understand, or awkward, I will fix them for you. Then, if any elements of the story need to be resolved, I will either fix it myself (in one manuscript a character’s hair color suddenly changed for no reason) or I will leave a note in the Comments field pointing out the problem if it needs your attention, such as a major plot error or character Here at Freelancer.com my work has earned a 4.9 out of 5 rating from my 182 clients, as shown at https://www.freelancer.com/u/jw010699.html. My clients' comments include, "Julie was very good with making suggestions as if she had real ownership in the project's success," ." “She was prompt, courteous, helpful, and skilled. I'm very pleased with her treatment of my work and will use her again," and “Julie does excellent and professional work.” I would enjoy helping your with your murder mystery and hope to hear from you soon. Best regards, Julie Webb

I am very interested in helping you with your murder mystery. Depending on the size of the document, I might be able to work with you for less than your minimum range. Also important, I hope you are open to suggestions regarding flow and storyline issues. If you read my profile, you will see reviews from people for whom I have edited large books. I really hope I get the opportunity to discuss your project with you. If we get a chance to talk, please fill me in on your deadline, if any. I have edited/proofread novels, technical documents, websites, self-help books, CVs, Masters' Theses, Doctoral Dissertations, Letters of Application to universities and medical schools. It is as important to me as it is to you, sincerely. Please read my profile, and my reviews, all unsolicited. I have a great depth of experience in this area of endeavor.

Hello, I consider myself a skilled writer that strives to make the customer happy and completely satisfied. Since I have excellent grammar and spelling capabilities, I am able to determine the concept that is trying to be shared by the customer. I then turn around and correct missing links or other errors and produce refreshed content that is plagiarism-free. No online rewriting tool is needed in this case. It is important to remember that the content of your business plan – not just the appearance – could be the first impression a prospective client may get. If the prospective customer receives a document that is full of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and inaccurate information it can give a poor impression of the presenting business. It would be my pleasure to help you get your content in optimal shape. Regards

Hi! I would love to discuss your book! I believe the job of an editor is to give the writer a fresh set of eyes with which to view the work and perhaps offer perspectives not previously considered. You can actually check out my overall writing style and tone at scribassist.com. My approach to writing is based upon taking chances as far as being ultra creative and ultimately making a significant impact on that reading moment in a person's life! You have to be smart about how you utilize words and sentences; screen/page space is a precious commodity not to be wasted. Holding a PhD in English, I know that I can create dynamic text for you. Best Anne

Let me improve and polish your writing. In addition to ensuring that it is grammatically correct, I'll provide substantive line editing and restructuring where needed, while making sure that each sentence flows as smoothly as possible and conveys its meaning persuasively. Can you please share the draft as it is now? I'm happy to guide you depending on your needs, whether that's a light touch to help you get rid of grammatical errors or a more comprehensive edit including rewriting parts of your work. I know what it takes to bring your writing to new heights.
