Hello, I would be happy to proofread your manuscript and have 36 years' experience. I will perfect any minor mistakes, including 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. Let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Webb, and I’m a professional editor and proofreader with 36 years of experience, which includes working on thesis papers at the PhD level, peer-reviewed journal articles, fiction and non-fiction books, and textbooks. English is my native language and my Bachelor's degree is in English. I use Microsoft Word with the Track Changes feature turned on. Last year I edited/proofread 27 books. 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 have remarked that “She was prompt, courteous, helpful, and skilled. I'm very pleased with her treatment of my work and will use her again,” "This is my third time working with Julie. I definitely recommend her to others who need their work polished,” and “Julie does excellent and professional work.” I would enjoy proofreading your book and hope to hear from you soon. Best regards, Julie Webb

Hi, I am a highly-skilled writer who has strong visual awareness, exemplary grammar and spelling knowledge, and the ability to analyze and modify. When it comes to missing links and correcting errors, look no farther. Remember, your content could be a first impression. If you send out material that is riddled with misspellings, grammatical errors, and wrong information, you aren’t going to be presenting a good image of your business. Here is the summary what you have requested. Task: Proofreader Needed Immediately Short summary : You need proofread 55,000.00 word for your manuscript. Proposed Deadline: 20 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

Hi, I can do a really great job with proofreading your novel. I currently run my own editing business, where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Managed an editing and proofreading service for several years Although my bid is outside your stated budget, I have put in a fair bid for the time it would take to proofread 55,000 words. If you could share a few chapters so that I could see the current standard then I may be able to reduce the price, if it's really near-perfect grammar-wise. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done to a high standard by your deadline or sooner. For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Check your novel for US spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

I don't know what to tell you, except that I'm highly qualified for this job. I have extensive experience editing for grammar and flow. Also know how to get the attention of an audience and keep it. I've done proofreading and editing for many clients in the past. It's a tedious job. I meet all your requirements. Remember that the very best proofreaders are incredible writers themselves. That would unmistakably be me! Looking forward to working with you, Steven Hobson.

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

Hello!!! I charge $3 to proofread/edit 1000 words but as you've said it's been proofed already, I'll do it for $2. I've gone through your description and feel I would be a good candidate to give your manuscript the second pair of eyes it requires. I'm a native English speaker with a vast amount of proofreading/editing experience even though it's not up to 10 years. I plan to read your document at least 3 times as my experience has shown that to be the adequate number of times to further reduce mistakes that weren't noticed initially. Feel free to reach out to me. Hopefully, I get a chance to show you my quality of work. Cheers!

I can start today but I have put in a time frame of 2 weeks. It is just that unless I see the manuscript as a whole, it is hard to judge if it is just minor corrections. I am detailed oriented and have worked on longer word count manuscripts. So, rest assured, I know how to proofread and edit:):) Thanks, Hemina

Hi there - my name is Nicholas. I’ve read your brief and can see that you’d like to employ a talented proofreader to review and correct your 55,000 word manuscript. I have many years of working in professional fields allowing me to hone skills in all aspects of English including grammar, vocabulary, sentence formation and sentence correction (proficient in USA/AUS/UK/CAN English). I have also spent 7 of the last 10 years living and working in the USA so I am fully conversant and up to date with US English too! I am highly qualified for this project and would love to speak with you further about taking this project on. My Freelancer CV and portfolio gives you a fuller view of my experience and qualifications, but if you still have any further questions to ask me then please feel free to go ahead. I look forward to your positive response and some more detail by return. Nicholas
