If you view my profile you will see that I registered with Freelancer in February this year and I have 20 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include editing and proofreading. My ongoing freelance work includes editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was very satisfied with the result. Other recent work has included rewriting a 24,500-word book to change it from a children's book to one suitable to be read by adults, and the result was described by the client as "perfect". A second book for this client, this time 35,000 words, restructuring the chapters as well as proofreading the content, was also "perfect". (These jobs were via Elance.) 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 11 books to publication. Having been a teacher of English in high school for several years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For six years I have been a member of a children's writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own.

Hi, I can do a really great job with proofreading your children's book. I currently run my own editing business, where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service for several years I have put in a fairly low bid in order to be competitive on Freelancer, but please don't wonder if this will affect the quality of the work. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done to a high standard by your deadline or sooner. For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Check your book for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity where necessary - Assist with plot structure, characterisation and originality - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

Hi, I have a five-star rating on four sites, I have passed all of the English tests and the proofreading tests, and I have over twenty years of experience proofreading thousands of documents. I’m an experienced proofreader who checks every single punctuation mark, each individual character, and every word (to make sure the word is actually there, to make sure the correct word is used, to make sure it’s not an extra word, and, of course, to make sure the word is spelled correctly). I check for proper grammar, phraseology, and overall clarity. I check for consistency and ensure that the document reads smoothly. I’m proficient in Microsoft Word, and I can track the changes if you would like to see any revisions I have made. I have proofread every kind of document imaginable including technical manuals, books, novels, presentations, tables, academic papers, articles, newsletters, flyers, and web content. English is my only language, and I’m fluent in both the verbal and written forms (American style). My portfolio contains samples of a variety of documents I have proofread including many children’s books. If you click on an item, you will be able to read the feedback comments from my client. My bid is $215 AUD to proofread your 35,000-word children’s book. I can start right away, and it will take four or five days to complete. I am very thorough, and I proofread very carefully. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Luanne

Hello, I'd love to proofread your children's book! My name is Kathleen, and I'm a professional editor, proofreader, and author. I work with both fiction and nonfiction. I have edited a children's book in the past. Other fiction projects I've proofread and edited include novels, short stories, literary magazines, video game scripts and other content, and more. Some of the things I proofread for are grammar, tense, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and formatting. With a deeper editing I also look at things like flow, clarity, word choice, dialogue, consistency, characterization, and more. Though I'm a US native, I've also editing in Canadian, UK, and Australian English. All edits are made using MS Word's Track Changes and Comments tools. I charge 1/2 cent per word for proofreading. At 35,000 words your manuscript would come to a total of $175. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like additional information or have any questions. Warm Regards, Kathleen Price
