$15-25 USD / hour

Like classifying and organizing information? Like careful, detailed work? Help build a thesaurus with nautical-related words. Edit and write a few hundred lists of words and terms conceptually related to sailors or navigation. I have a starting draft of various lists and a thousand terms. The task is to organize them into logical sub-groups (a hierarchy). Each list 10-30 words that are conceptually related, and a 1-3 word title. The words are related to various aspect of seafaring, boating, sailing. We also have follow-on work on other topics, like vehicles and aviation. You can work in a word processor (e.g. msword) or a programmers editor (e.g. sublime text). An educational background in lexicography or linguistics would help, but it's not required.

Dear Employer, “Hiring” is certainly a hard process, and I wish I’d be able to save your time and efforts by taking the whole responsibility of your project. Before you make any decision, I would like to explain what I can offer: 1. QUALITY: It’s a quite ambiguous, and often misused, term. People say they provide Grammatical-Error Free Text and/or Plagiarism Free Text and they believe they are talking about quality. No. These two factors are NECESSITIES, not qualities. Quality, I believe, is beyond these two factors. Quality comes when I can reflect your ideas in my own words. 2. RESEARCH: It’s easy to find journals, white papers, or books on Google-Scholar/Online-libraries, and give a spin to the text, properly reference it with APA, MLA or Harvard style of referencing, and make it look like original work. However, the real research involves understanding the subject matter by reading various resources and taking notes, which will assist you to write the paper. 3. PROOFREADING: PUNCTUATION, SPELLING, GRAMMAR, USAGE, SYNTAX, and DICTION. Yes, a text isn’t a text until it follows the rules of our beautiful English Language. 4. FORMATTING: Often this part of the paper is ignored. However, formatting of a document is as important as the Quality of the text. I hope I’ve made it easy for you to make the decision about whom to hire. For further assistance, you just have to press the “CHAT” button.

I am a highly experienced professional of 30 plus years of experience and having worked in diverse fields and companies of various cultures, such as IT, non-IT companies, in Products as well as Services in various capacities of managing operations, installations, people, stakeholders and many other aspects of operations. I am an Electrical Engineer and MBA by background. In due course of my career I wrote a lot articles, professional, educational and business documents.I have been freelancing in training and consulting business,academics and school education since about a few years. I have taken to freelancer.com since a few months and am already doing/done a few article writing jobs. Now my Relevance to this project...I worked on 2 drill-ships close to about 8 years in the late eighties and early nineties and have seen 2 major dry-docks and one ship building in India (but they all used standard nautical and English words mostly). I have seen many supply vessels in action and am usually very interested in movies like Titanic, Jaws, Perfect Storm, 20000 leagues under the sea etc. So I believe I already have a few hundreds of nautical words known to me. Anyway the point is I am interested. Please do also let me know your objectives in building such a base for there already might be a few in the market (what would you like to be your USP?). I look forward to working with you. If you like my quote and details please let me know the details from your side. Thanks

To whom it may concern: I'm a native US writer, editor and proofreader.

I can edit your content for whatever you desire - grammar, punctuation, structure, etc. Let me know if you'd like to see a sample with tracked changes of my editing style. Best, Hannah

Hi As I understand, you need an editor who has the ability to edit your text. I'm interested in getting the job as I’m an experienced writer and editor. I’ve been working in writing and editing line for more than 20 years. I took graduation and master degree in Journalism and MPhil in English Studies. So I know very well how to write, edit, rewrite and improve a write-up. At Freelancer, I’ve also completed several writing, rewriting, editing and proofreading projects. You can see samples of my writing and editing works in my portfolio. At present, I’m attached to FAZA Editing House. If I take up the job, it is my commitment to deliver the work on time. I hope you will find me suitable for your work. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks SM Saifuddin

Dear Employer, I love to classify and organize things. Your project will involve deep thought, research and a very systematic approach. For the same reasons I imagine there won't be too many takers for it. I'll consider myself fortunate to be involved with this and your other project(s) that require similar work in other fields. I'm a University of Cambridge certified English language trainer. Although you've posted a project with hourly billing, we can also work on progress based billing. As for the editor, I'd use MS Excel for sorting/editing and either Excel or Word for presenting the results based on how the end user is intended to interface with the finished product. Either way I hope to hear more about the project and the methods you plan to use. Cheers! Hemant
