I’m a native English speaker and English teacher working in Egypt. I have carefully read your project description and I strongly believe I can help you in this important editing/proofreading project. I have participated in a great number of creative writing, rewriting, proofreading, editing and copy-editing tasks for years. However, I'm positive that this job requires meticulous attention to detail as professional copy editors should have broad experience in linguistics so that they can suggest better alternatives. I'm not only a copy editor but a former EFL teacher, as well—a fact that enables me to use the English language effectively and accurately. Furthermore, I understand completely that you need an expert in editing and proofreading—someone who won't just detect errors, but recast improperly written sentences and give constructive feedback and deliver the intended message. It'd be a pleasure to help you get this project perfectly done within deadline. I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects, but I usually keep copies of your documents on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. Confidentiality assured!

Hello, I'd be happy to help. I can provide you editorial assistance in 30 weekdays (Monday-Friday). I'm an experienced, professionally trained (The Publishing Training Centre, UK), 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, 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 edit 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. I am currently copy editing two books ready for publication, along with producing the cover for these. I will upload samples, if required, of the 'before' and 'after' so you are aware of the work I produce. 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 always track changes. I am comfortable using any Microsoft or Adobe application to complete the work. If the publication is already on PDF format, I have the software to edit this directly. Most of the books and articles I edit are non-fiction and I have recently completed a similar assignment editing material concerning Christian philanthropy. I am available to start immediately and I look forward to hearing from you. Thank You.

Hi, I am a professional proofreader, copy-editor and writer with over 19 years' publishing experience. I promise to correct misspellings, rectify any grammar mistakes and generally polish your text to make it shine. Examples of work corrected: , books, e- books, essays, CVs, letters, marketing material, coursework, job applications, magazine articles, blogs and websites. As a freelance proofreader I offer proofreading and editing services to both businesses and private individuals. Whatever the project and whoever the client, my aim is to provide an excellent service. As a editor, it's my job to understand exactly and deeply what your writing is about, so that I can help make it everything you know it can be. Whether light or substantive editing is what you need, whether you want your voice retained or developed. I'm certain this description is too long-winded, and if you've made it to this point, kudos! Please contact me so I can put on one of my metaphorical hats (or actual, if you prefer) and get to work! Best Regards, Micheal

Hello, My name is Jamila and I would love to help you out.

Here's a little bit about myself: I have graduated with distinctions in English Language, Literature, Academic and Technical Writing, and Communication Studies. I work quickly and meticulously, making sure the best work is produced. I am also a freelancer editor and proofreader on other freelancing websites, and my first language is English (UK). Please let me know if you are interested in my services and we can get your project started as soon as possible. Kindest regards, Jamila

Even though I am based in Indonesia, I have worked with various NGOs and bilateral organisations on various development issues. I grew up in Australia, and am considered a native speaker of English, albeit not UK English. I have worked as an editor,interpreter and translator for various development agencies and am currently editing a technical report by the Indonesian government in English to be submitted to their development partners. Development is, and has always been one of my main areas of focus in my work and I am confident I could assist with editing your document. I would have to see your document first, but unless there are major issues with grammar and content, 130 pages could be completed in less than 14 days. I would be happy to discuss your needs in greater detail to see if we are a good fit with each other. I look forward to your reply. Best, Mia Badib

Understanding the preference to be a native English writer, still I have placed the bid on this project keeping in mind my strengths in the English Language. I look forward to get a chance in order to prove my skills and my strength on the English Language. The time that I can assign to this project at the present time would be 8 pages per day on an average. Therefore leaving 2 days at the end for proof reading. Thank you! :)
