Hello, I have vast experience with proofreading and editing books and essays and can help with improving the quality of your book. English is my first language and I speak and write it flawlessly. I cannot attach samples unless you initiate a chat or specifically ask for them. I'd be happy to do the needful on request. Meanwhile I will copy-paste a sample rewrite within the restricted word count that is allowed so you can assess my writing style. On request I will send you the original and rewritten files so you can check the quality of the transformation. Thank you ~ Diana---A Look At The Down Lighting Options Available Today---Technological advancements have touched all aspects of our lives today including how we use lighting in our homes. A few years ago, lighting was considered purely functional, with homeowners happy to have just a basic bulb in every room.---Fast forward to today and the lighting choices that are available to us are not longer restricted to the basic low or high wattage bulbs. With innovative lighting options that range from spot lights and subdued lighting to hanging wall lights and under-cupboard lighting, we have endless options with which to create whatever mood we want in any room in our home.---One of the most spectacular developments has been the use of down lighting in bathrooms and kitchens. The bulb used for this purpose is the GU10 bulb, which is especially designed to create high intensity directional lighting. Over the years, there ...

Good morning, I am a former journalist and marketing specialist with more than fifteen years of experience writing, editing and proofreading. As a freelancer, I have edited the gamut of material, from academic papers to cookbooks, as well as an extensive range of genres, from non-fiction to contemporary and young adult fiction. I particularly enjoy working with translated documents and non-native English speakers. It is a delight to help smooth out verbiage that might otherwise get "lost in translation." And, with my interest in learning more about different cultures, I would love to learn more about your adventures in Bali. My peers and coworkers appreciate my candor and honest feedback in any given situation. The perfectionist in me ensures no problems slip under the radar. When one combines these qualities with the pure enjoyment I have in fixing grammar and punctuation issues, you will find that I am an editorial powerhouse. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or would like to see any examples of my editing. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time and consideration, Mariah Patterson

I have over 20 years experience in technical writing gained during a scientific career (PhD and BSc). I also write and proof read articles. I have an excellent command of the English Language and an "eye " for detail. I have traveled widely including SE Asia and would be pleased to proof read your book which according to your word count is about 30 pages. I have some time next week so would be able to go through it as it is translated if you wish. Please let me know if I can provide additional information or contact me if you would like to discuss the project further.

Hello, I'm interested and I would like to take on this work. I am a native English speaker and I have a bachelor's degree in philosophy and languages. I've been working as a writer/editor for 5+ years. I've been also succesfully teaching English so I'm great when it comes to editing and proofreading. I'm responsible and reliable enough to meet a deadline. I'm also a keen, curious and fast learner. I can work full-time if needed (up to 40 hours a week). I'm currently based in Saint Petersburg, Russia, but my schedule is flexible and I can work when needed depending on your time zone. It also means I can be reachable via e-mail or Skype 24/7. Don't hesitate to PM me if you're interested -- let me know more please! I am willing to start immediately in order to get the work done in no time. Best regards, Katherine
