Hi, I'm Rohan and i'm the ideal candidate for this editing task as I have experience working with Publishing Houses (Penguin Random House) and various Magazines as an Editor. As such not only am I very well versed with Editing in a variety of formats, I also come with industry knowledge, and all of that experience can be made to bear on your book so as to ensure that it's entirely perfect. My services include: Editing in any style UK/ US. I make sure that there are no grammatical or spelling errors. I work on the sentence structure and word usage. Make sure there is language consistence Correct 'technical' errors Run a fact check for anything verifiable online As per industry standards I use 'TrackChanges' in MSWord so you have the option to verify all the changes made. I also offer a running commentary in separate comment bubbles, explaining the 'heavier' edits. (OPTIONAL) And anything else that may come up.

Hello - I would love to help you edit your text! Here is my philosophy of editing (the 75 words or less version): an editor's greatest role is to be a reader first. Your editor is your "test reader," if you will. Certainly correcting grammar, ensuring flow and watching for punctuation errors are all important functions of the editor, but in my opinion, the number one job of the professional editor is to show you how the average reader will perceive your text. This then offers you a great opportunity to shift things around, change what doesn't work and elaborate on what is unclear. So for an editor, what you really want is a professional reader. I have a PhD in English and was a college professor for eight years. I wrote a book length study on literary criticism...I would say I am a professional reader. A little on my non-academic background...I have spent the past ten years in sales and marketing for a construction/remodeling company. Additionally, since 2011 I have been working in a freelance/consulting capacity. Through my company, I've helped businesses and start-ups negotiate the nuances of online marketing and branding. I've developed website material for a multitude of industries from art, to law, to health care, to name a few. I basically spend my days in front of my computer ensuring that the online strategies I've employed are in fact working. If they don't show results, then I am not doing my job. I look forward to hearing from you! Best, Anne

I will look at this with a professional perspective and a personal touch, giving attention to detail, clarity, syntax, grammar, spelling and punctuation. I will also correct passive constructions and change linking verbs to active whenever possible. In addition to broad proofreading and editing experience as a freelancer, I have ten years experience as a college professor proofing and grading hundreds of research papers (usually 5-8 pages apiece) and essays, and presenting lectures daily. I also have experience writing many masters papers and essays of my own. Furthermore, I currently serve as a Pastor in NYC, presenting public sermons multiple times weekly. Last year I edited a DMin dissertation. I would be thrilled to tackle this project for you! To verify my bid, I will need an approximate word count and 20 pages of text from the book draft to preview. I will not with with obscene or explicit content.

As a proofreader and editor, I am experienced and knowledgeable, with an eye for details. I have the tenacity and predilection to proofread and edit books, magazines, websites, as well as publications aimed at special audience such as academic writing journals or business reports. With a PhD in English as well as years of experience in curriculum design and teaching writing at various levels, I am skilled and knowledgeable in all types of proofreading and editing tasks. When it comes to editing and proofreading, I make sure that: The text is free of errors like typos, misspellings, grammatical mistakes, and punctuation errors. The content is engaging and readable to the readers’ retina. Style and tone is correct. Everything in the text conforms to the acceptable editing standards. I will provide you with 2 MSWord files upon completion, first one with the highlighted proofread version( so that you can figure out the proofreading) and the second with the accepted changes version (the final document). You can fully count on me and I am looking forward to working with you. Thanks

Dear Client, I have seen your instructions and would be the ideal freelancer for this project. I am a native English speaker, and I have experience handling similar projects. I have carried out numerous proofreading/editing tasks for clients on this website, such as books, manuscripts, thesis' both for English and Non-English speakers and for documents which have a similar word count to yours. I will ensure that I look through each sentence and correct issues such as spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, and sentence structure and would be done promptly. Also, I have worked for a newspaper company in the past and regularly provide content for a blog and had to proofread and edit material before publication. You can also look at my reviews for the jobs I have done on this platform. Please feel free to contact me for more information. Regards, Quicklancer15
