Hello, I consider myself a skilled writer that strives to make the customer happy and completely satisfied. Since I have excellent grammar and spelling capabilities, I am able to determine the concept that is trying to be shared by the customer. I then turn around and correct missing links or other errors and produce refreshed content that is plagiarism-free. No online rewriting tool is needed in this case. It is important to remember that the content of your business plan – not just the appearance – could be the first impression a prospective client may get. If the prospective customer receives a document that is full of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and inaccurate information it can give a poor impression of the presenting business. It would be my pleasure to help you get your content in optimal shape. Regards

Welcome! I've checked your description very carefully, and I believe I would be just the right candidate for proofreading your books on a regular basis. Why? Because I have 7+ years of professional academic proofreading/editing experience, and also because I have a keen eye for small errors that others might not spot right away. Is this all? Nope. My previous employers (now my brothers in arms) have consistently characterized me as an intuitive, reliable, decisive and immensely flexible personality. BUT do not take my word for it. Check their feedbacks for yourself. Also, please check my PORTFOLIO for sample items to help guide you my way. I promise you this: You will need NOT go anywhere else for editing and proofreading ever again after giving me a shot. Interested? Let's talk. I do not bite!

Hi. Although I live in Brazil now, I´m an American writer, editor and proofreader, a native English speaker with excellent language skills and years of experience at correcting and improving books, academic texts and other written material. I use Track Changes to show you all my corrections of English grammar, spelling, punctuation and sentence structure (and yes, I´m a perfectionist), as well as comments and suggestions for improving what you or your clients have written. I can send samples of previous work after you contact me, and I´d be happy to do a short test edit to demonstrate the quality of my work. I bid low here because I don´t have the wordcount on a specific job for you, but my basic fixed rate is $4/400 words, with discounts for volume and work that is less urgent. Please contact me for further discussion. Regards, David

To Whom It May Concern: I am a professional copy editor and proofreader with over seven years of experience in the industry, some of which can be found in my portfolio here on Freelancer. I prefer to conduct sample edits of manuscripts before I take them on, so I’m willing to edit up to 2,000 words for you before signing a contract, and I can sign a nondisclosure agreement before I see it. I edit both non-fiction and fiction manuscripts, and I’m comfortable with the Microsoft Writing Style Guide, as well as the Chicago Manual of Style, Sixteenth Edition, Associated Press style, American Psychological Association style, and Modern Language Association style. I am always strict when I am editing, and I’m comfortable with technical text. I charge $0.005 per word for editing and proofreading manuscripts and technical documents, and I can have up to 50,000 words completed within one week of contract acceptance. My bid is for a 50,000-word document, but as soon as I am aware of how many words you would like edited in the first project, I will update my bid accordingly. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Nadene Seiters
