The reason for this is because I am new on this site, and trying very hard to build my portfolio - which I can't do without any feedback or reviews. I am a native English speaker. I have a PhD in English and I have 20 years' experience as a university lecturer, during which I have edited countless student papers, dissertations, pieces of creative writing, and so on. I also have an extensive publication record. Give me a chance - I am eager to make a positive impression so that I can get started on here.

Good afternoon I'm a professional, native English editor, with a Master's in Linguistics and a background as a lecturer in English Language and Creative Writing. I provide a comprehensive editing service, heavily focused on grammatical / linguistic accuracy, as well as style, tone and structure, via tracked changes (Microsoft Word). I estimate 7 days for a 50,000-word manuscript, though this can be tweaked to meet your requirements if you're in a hurry. I always submit completed projects 1-2 days in advance to give writers the opportunity to look over my work and ask any questions / remodel anything where necessary. Editing is a partnership, not a singular, one-off task; my bid and my approach to editing both reflect this. I can also provide a free critique upon request, and help with publishing proposals. We can discuss this if you would like to move forward with my editing services. Thank you for your time. Best Regards Simon Richardson

Hi! Consider my current bid a placeholder based on your word count; once I've seen the manuscript and had a chance to talk with you further about the level of support in editing you need I can revise my bid accordingly. I've helped dozens of authors finish their books and prepare them for publication, and I would love to do the same for you. Please don't hesitate to reach out so we can discuss; I'm happy to share relevant samples and answer any questions you might have. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hopefully talking more soon!

Welcome! I've checked your description very carefully, and I believe I would be just the right candidate for proofreading/editing your book. Why? Because I have 7+ years of professional academic proofreading/editing experience, and also because I have a keen eye for small errors that others might not spot right away. Is this all? Nope. My previous employers (now my brothers in arms) have consistently characterized me as an intuitive, reliable, decisive and immensely flexible personality. BUT do not take my word for it. Check their feedbacks for yourself. Also, please check my PORTFOLIO for sample items to help guide you my way. I promise you this: You will need NOT go anywhere else for editing and proofreading ever again after giving me a shot. Interested? Let's talk. I do not bite!

To Whom It May Concern: I am a professional editor with over seven years of experience in the industry, and I’d be interested in discussing your project with you further. Manuscripts I have worked on in the past can be found in my portfolio, and I’m willing to do a sample edit to help determine my eligibility for this position. I fit your requirements for an editor: advanced English skills, competent with a PC, experience in editing, and I pay attention to the smallest of details. I’ve been known to point out when a character’s name is spelled two different ways in a manuscript. It’s an error that happens more often than you’d think. I can edit using two different styles: Associated Press and Chicago Manual of Style, Sixteenth Edition. I use Associated Press for technical non-fiction manuscripts and Chicago Manual of Style, Sixteenth Edition for creative non-fiction and fiction. I can provide links to other professional profiles on different freelancing platforms if you would like to see more reviews from happy clients. I charge $0.005 for copyediting and proofreading here on Freelancer, so your project would come to a total of $257.32, and I can have 51,465 words edited within one week of contract acceptance. Thank you for your time and consideration! Sincerely, Nadene Seiters

As actor Paul Newman said in "Cool Hand Luke," a movie classic, "What we have here is a failure to communicate." That means you do not understand how many, many hours it takes to correct and polish a manuscript until its reader magnetism is irresistible. But that's what I do -- I edit a book many, many times (at least three times), which is more than most editors are willing to do. I also bring eye-opening creativity to characterization, action scenes and dialogue. I've done this for more than 10 books, wowing the authors with my prowess and contributions. That costs a little more, but it's well worth the price. Don't believe me? Send me a sample of your book to edit for FREE and you'll be impressed with my skills. After that, hire me and the message or story you wish to communicate to your readers will resonate with success. -- David L. Gaskill
