I am a youth peace activist and holders of a BA in History and currently a final year master research student in economic and social history. I am also a the Human Resource and Administrative Officer of Local Youth Corner Cameroon and doubles and founder and coordinator of Network for peace and Community Development. Here i work with other youths to build the capacities of young people to prevent violent extremism and promote peace and social cohesion. Over the years i have written a number of articles published online on my personal website and blog. I have interest in gender and peacebuilding, education, culture and human rights. As a youth activist with passion for development and contribution to historiography, professional and scientific work, writing/editing/proofreading articles would be yet another opportunity for me to contribute in development.

I have a 3 years experience in this field . This is what excites me the most and pushes me to work more and more. For me writing, editing or anything to do with words is not only a way of expression rather it gives me an open view about different people their thoughts and helps me explore the competent mind of human civilization.

Hi, My name is Abigail, and while I'm new to Freelancer, I'm not new to editing. I have completed almost 400 orders on Fiverr and independently. I have an English degree from the University of Oxford and have worked for the Oxford English Dictionary, where I received training in grammar to an expert level. I also have high test scores in UK and US English here on Freelancer. My CV is available on request, and there are samples of my work available on my profile. I offer a two-stage edit. The first stage involves a copy-edit (rephrasing for wordiness, flow, jargon, generally improving the style), and proofreading (which corrects grammar, spelling, punctuation, and continuity issues). I use track changes to complete all edits, and deliver a tracked and clean copy. I can deliver in two stages, or do both edits and then deliver a finished manuscript, depending on your preference. Your payment schedule may make the latter option easier. I expect that the edit of your novella should take ten hours, so at my hourly rate should stay within your budget. Factoring in my other work at the moment, I should be able to deliver in five days, and certainly by the 20th! Please note, I don't do typesetting for Kindle books. I hope this proposal works for you. Thanks, Abigail

Hello! My name is Elaine Smith. I have at least ten years of experience with the writing, editing, proofreading and typing of manuscripts, as well as the editing and proofreading of blogs. I have recently completed a final edit of a 230-page, 48,000 word book that has since been published and distributed to the public. I also have completed a final edit of two chapters from an 85,000 book. I have written articles for a local newspaper. I have been employed as a substitute teacher, teaching grades PreK-12. I am looking for a job that will allow me to work from home due to my husband's varying employment schedule. I do a bit of writing as well. I have attended Writer's Conferences throughout the years, gleaning from the knowledge of other writers, editors and publishers. I have been editing, proofreading and rewriting blog posts and articles for an online translation company using another freelance website for the past six months and this job is ongoing. It is three to four hours a week. I know that, given the opportunity, I would do a great job. I would like to help you complete your project. Thank you.

Dear Client, I would be honored if you would consider me a possible candidate for your editing position. As an editor, I pride myself on editing text with a sharp eye for mistakes in spelling, grammar, and logic. Writing clearly and concisely are the two strongest skills I can leverage to strengthen your project. I will edit your text for the criteria you establish, paying personal attention to what you are interested in achieving through our collaboration. I have many years of experience working as a proofreader, and the skill test scores to corroborate them, scoring in the top 10% on the US Vocabulary Test and on the US English Basic Skills Test and the top 30% on the US Academic Writing Test and on the Technical Writing Skills Certification on Upwork. In addition, I hold a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in English literature and am a published fiction and non-fiction writer with the writing credentials to support my strong candidacy. Finally, I am the best candidate for this position because of my demonstrated success and client testimonials. Please see the attached documents which demonstrate, in the most relevant terms possible, my skills as an editor. I know you’ll probably get a bunch of lowball bids, many of which I can assure you will bring low-quality candidates to the table. I’d urge you to consider my candidacy, which is commensurate with the skill and experience required to successfully complete your project. I look forward to hearing from you! G
