I am a professional writer and editor with over 20 years' proofreading experience. I have a degree in Creative Writing which included extensive coursework in proofreading and editing, and I have been working full-time as a freelance editor for the past five years. I have experience editing memoir-type writing such as your book and recently edited a memoir that has since been published. Unless you prefer otherwise I do all of my editing using the track changes feature of MS Word, including inline edits and comments regarding flow, word choice, and readability, etc. I generally charge $1/500 words for basic proofreading and copy editing, but since you indicated that you're not on a tight deadline I can offer a lower price. Samples of my writing and previous editing work are available in my portfolio. If you have any questions or if you would like additional information please don't hesitate to contact me, and thanks for considering my proposal!

Hi, I'm a professional copy editor and proof reader based in Australia and I'd love to help you with your life story.

I can do this within 4 weeks. Looking forward to working with you.

Hello. this sounds interesting. I have a keen eye for detail, and could turn your book around, and give you any suggestions as I see them. I am based in France, but have worked in London for a major design studio, proofreading in up to 23 languages!! I don't speak them all, obviously, but being able to spot miniscule differences between the emerging countries' languages around the former USSR was challenging. Your would be a little easier? Hope I can help you. Thanks, David

Dear Employer, I am a British expatriate now living in Norway and as such possess native-level knowledge of both British and American English. A professional copy editor and proofreader with almost five years’ experience, I have worked on a variety of publications including books (in both physical and electronic form), PhD and Master's theses, university research department papers and editorial-style opinion pieces, and I am used to working on projects that require meticulous attention to detail, infallible accuracy and that have tight deadlines. In particular, I have accumulated extensive experience working with the Political Science department at the University of Freiburg (Germany), as well as the Southeast Asian Studies unit in the same organisation. Much of this work is situated at the highest levels of scholarship. I would be happy to provide a link to an article in which I am credited should you wish to see an example of my work.

I am available to begin immediately and I am confident that you would be satisfied with the quality of my work. Should you wish to discuss the proposal with me further, I would welcome the opportunity to do so. Best Regards, scribe218
