Hello. I am a professional, native English speaking editor who works quickly and thoroughly. I can ensure that your book is free from grammatical errors and can also help with word choice and sentence structure, as necessary. I am including below a few reviews I have received for similar projects. You are welcome to visit my profile to view my additional reviews. Thank you for your consideration. “She is the best! I have used her for editing my manuscript for three drafts. I highly recommend her if you need your work done professionally and on time!” “klboots performed an edit and a detailed critique of my 75,000 word novel and I could not be more happy with the final product! The comments were so helpful and I feel will really enhance my story. I will definitely hire again, thank you!!” “Klboots did an excellent job proofreading and editing my novel! She paid attention to detail and greatly improved my book's structure! I plan on re-hiring her very soon! Thanks again!!!” "I have hired Klboots several times and every time I'm so amazed by how professional and reliable she is. The best proofreader one could wish for!" “Quick turnaround; very thorough review; her comments were helpful and thoughtful and made my document a better story. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!” “Amazing proof-reader! I have been hiring her for a while and I would not hire anyone else!” “Krystal is the most reliable and professional proofreader and editor I have ever worked with!”

Hello, Do you want a dedicated and hardworking freelancer to work on your project, beating deadline and doing a good work. I know how it feels to have CopyScape flag down your contents as copied. It makes one feel like a fraud. I write Plagiarism free and well detailed contents obtained from in-depth research. My results are highly optimized for search engines by using industry keywords and placing them strategically in the work. I also write engaging details, keeping things short, accurate and informative using bullet points to give readers what they want at a glance. I will do all the editing your book needs and give you the best results you can get. It takes passion and empathy to do a great work. Chat me up for the best results on freelancer.

Hi, my name is Andrew. I am a highly experienced academic writer, proofreader and editor. Please feel free to ask any questions or request samples of my work. I am also more than happy to proofread a sample of the required document for you. I am a member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders in the UK and I have particular skills in copy editing and typesetting articles ready for publication. Although my main work involves preparing manuscripts ready for publishing, this of course starts with a thorough and accurate proofread. Any formatting issues would of course be rectified during the process. I have an impeccable eye for detail and always submit perfect work to the highest standard. I am fully proficient with all the relevant software and will use track changes if required. I will then submit a tracked copy and a clean copy, as well as a copy in your required format, ready for publishing. I have placed a realistic timeframe on my bid due to current work commitments. I have two books to finish preparing, and I expect to spend 15-20 hours on a 75k word manuscript. Thank You.

Hello, What's the subject matter of your book? I'd be happy to help. I can provide you editorial assistance in 20 weekdays (Monday-Friday). I'm an experienced, professionally trained, full-time freelance editor. I've edited, proofread, and formatted written documents, such as books, e-books, journal articles, magazine articles, manuals, PowerPoint slides, web content, as well as university-approved master's and doctoral dissertations varying in length and subject matter while adhering to the required style guide. I provide the necessary recommendations and amendments using the MS Word comment tool and track changes feature, or apply standard proofreading marks when working on files in PDF format. I hope to know more about your project. If you’d have questions or concerns regarding my proposal, just send me an e-mail and I’ll respond shortly. Thank you for taking the time to review my proposal and profile. For now I wish you a blessed day ahead. Sincerely, Al

Hi, Thank you for the opportunity to bid on your project. I am an Australian writer and editor living in Adelaide. I am a highly experienced editor and highly versatile. This bid is to proofread only your work; however, if I see any other issues (such as structural or anything that does not make sense) I will mark it up and make comment for your information. Please see my portfolio (linked to my profile) and what others say about me. I invite you to open a conversation with me to discuss your requirements. I work using the freelancer.com milestone payment system. This system protects both of us while we work together and allows mutual reviews to build reputations. Good luck with your project. Kind regards kym

Hi, I have a five-star rating on four sites, I have passed all of the English tests and the proofreading tests, and I have over twenty years of experience proofreading thousands of documents. I’m an experienced proofreader who checks every single punctuation mark, each individual character, and every word (to make sure the word is actually there, to make sure the correct word is used, to make sure it’s not an extra word, and, of course, to make sure the word is spelled correctly). I check for proper grammar, phraseology, and overall clarity. I check for consistency and ensure that the document reads smoothly. I’m proficient in Microsoft Word, and I will track the changes so you can see any revisions I make. I have proofread every kind of document imaginable including technical manuals, books, novels, presentations, tables, academic papers, articles, magazines, flyers, and web content. English is my only language, and I am fluent in both the British and the American styles. My portfolio contains samples of a variety of documents I have proofread. If you click on an item, you will be able to read the feedback comments from my client. For your future reference, I’m also familiar with the formatting requirements for e-books and printed books. My bid is £208.00 GBP to proofread your 75,000-word book. I can start right away, and it will take 7 to 10 days to complete. I am very thorough, and I proofread very carefully. Thank you for your attention. Cheers, Luanne

Hi As I understand, you need an editor who has the ability to proofread 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

I'd love this project as it sounds perfect length and I am British, so you won't have any dialectal issues that you might get with a non-native speaker or American proofreader. I am a young, eager proofreading newcomer and will take an interest in any material I have to proofread. Please consider me for this job as I'd love the opportunity to really get some projects under my belt - we all have to start somewhere. I'm currently working on a 3-6 month contract editing and proofreading and I am constantly getting great feedback. I can proofread 3000 words an hour, and, as a perfectionist, I am extremely thorough. I have previously completed proofreading for friends, family, school peers and even teachers. I charge competitive rates, and yet will still complete the work quickly. I have impeccable understanding of UK English, helped by the fact I love to read. I also can add appropriate style and register, as I have a flair for writing and my studies aid this. I am at the moment studying English Language, French, Latin, Geography and Maths at A-Level (Sixth Form Qualification). I have received nothing below an A all year in my work, and I am predicted A+/A for all 5 A-Levels. I received 12 A+s and 3 As at GCSE, including English Language and Literature. Please consider me for this job, as you will find no-one more eager and, despite low rates, I will still ensure every piece of editing is to a very high standard.
