I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 100 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. In February this year I took on a role as the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, an online journal, a position to which I was invited by a Freelancer client. One of my earlier projects with Freelancer was to edit a 65,000-word science fiction novel, and the client was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer, and an article about me was published by Freelancer. My recent work has included proofreading a number of theses on a variety of subjects, as well as individual chapters of academic writing. For two years I was a copy editor for Elsevier Science Publishers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, rewriting text by authors who were not native English speakers. I have worked with individual clients to bring 20 books to publication and five of these clients have rehired me to work on further books. Having been a teacher of English in high school for four years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own.

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!

Hire a professional. But even a professional needs specific detail (such as word count) to formulate a solid bid. Having worked as a news editor/writer for 10 years and a college English professor for 13, I understand the importance of producing a clean document in a timely manner. If you have any questions, please contact me through the messenger feature.

Hi there- I am Lori, and I have been a writer for the past 25 yrs. I have been editing alone these past 5 years but have edited for over 25 years as well. I have edited fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi, YA, and Children's titles.I will proof to perfection and send it to you to read my comments/suggestions. It is often better to split the text in half- sending you half with edits and comments. Then you can work on it as I read the remainder. In either case, this will go quickly, and I will be watching for age-related issues/comprehension as well. Choose my bid........I have 3 recent books I edited that are IN publication!!! My Best, Lori
