Hello, my name is San (short for Sally-Anne). I would enjoy helping you with your children’s book. Why should you choose me? Well, I‘m a native English speaker and a trained professional editor. As part of a broader journalistic career I have commissioned books, worked with authors to develop books and edited books under contract. In all, more than 50 books, several of them for children (under 10 years of age). As editor of Choice magazine (the national consumer product rating magazine in Australia) I introduced a children’s page into the publication. I read to my children regularly when they were young and still read to the young ones in the family. And with more than 20 years working in publishing I have the editorial skills you’re after. I also have experience mentoring writers and editors. My background is that I have more than two decades’ experience working fulltime for national newspaper, magazine and book publishers in Australia and for two large Australian government departments. I have also worked freelance for large corporations, small businesses, authors, students and academics. I agree the work you want shouldn’t take much time. My bid reflects this, as well as the fact that I love children’s stuff and am new to Freelancer.com (so I am keen to get a few runs on the board and money isn’t as important as enjoying what I do). Thank you for reading my bid. Please contact me if there is anything else I can tell you to support my bid.

I hold a Ph.D., and I am an author in science journals and a reviewer and associate editor for some of these journals as well as funding agencies. I have published more than 20 peer-reviewed scientific research articles and several book chapters published by the Oxford University Press. I have contributed to multiple science news outlets as well, including the New York Times, Washington Post, Huff Post, BBC News, Discovery Magazine and New Scientist. I have been able to secure to date more that €660,000 for research through grant writing. Relevant to the project, I have contributed to the publication of primary school manuals and a hardcover publication of Alice in the Wonderland in Portugal. This experience is relevant to any literary genre or content type, and I believe it could be a benefit in the process of editing and finalizing your children's or content in the best way.

Hi My clients (from another site) always come back to me for more projects of the same. My experience in proofreading spans over 10 years. I hope to be considered for checking of the following errors and more: -Sentence Fragments -Sentence Sprawl -Misplaced and Dangling Modifiers -Faulty Parallelism -Unclear Pronoun Reference -Pronoun Agreement -Incorrect Pronoun Case -Omitted Commas -Superfluous Commas -Comma Splice -Apostrophe Errors -Words Easily Confused My exposure in proofreading goes across the board, as portrayed below:  I have been involved in proofreading/rewriting contexts in lush prose to great standards (in other sites). I am a fluent English speaker, well matched with reading and writing competence.  In my career, I have been involved in proofreading of many tender documents for large projects worth millions of dollars. These are very sensitive legal documents which should be absolutely free from errors, and therefore require proofreading to the highest level.  I am a graduate with intense analytical abilities. At the University I was assigned to do a research project and write a report about it. My report was then examined by a panel of lecturers and approved to standards, after which I was awarded my Degree. This demonstrates that my ability to prepare high grade writing work has already been affirmed and accepted by the elite members of English literacy and Education in the society. Please inbox me for more discussion. Kind Regards
