I am looking for my first break in Freelancer for editing and proofreading. I may be new to Freelancer but I am new neither new to freelancing on remote job sites nor to editing and proofreading. I have been freelancing as an editor and proofreader for the last 11 years on Elance, where I have picked up some fabulous feedback for doing so. Before that I was a journalist and then a senior book editor for a small, American publisher. Indeed, I was promoted to senior editorship after my very first assignment which was to rewrite, from scratch, a book on the science behind Columbus's voyage of discovery (An Ocean Too Wide) for a non-English speaking European space scientist (who said I had slammed his English into shape). You can read excerpts from the book on Amazon. Also, on elance i have a reputation for providing outstanding quality at very competitive rates, So try me out! You won't be disappointed.

Hi, Hi, I'm Gary Ferguson. Thank you for this opportunity to quote. I have proofread two non-fiction novels. One is a memoir by Hazel Manehira and the other is a guide to ageing well by Juliet Batten. These are being published next month (March) and will include my name acknowledged as the proofreader. I am new to Elance as you will see from my profile, so I am keen to build some work history. For this reason I offer lower rates than perhaps some other applicants. I am available 24/7 for proofreading work at short notice. My qualifications are specific to proofreading/editng. I have completed a Diploma Course in Proofreading and Editing at The New Zealand Institute of Business Studies. I have done proofreading and editing work on five novels, two non-fiction (as mentioned) and three fiction. I've also worked on technical manuals, proposals, newsletters and short stories. I can supply nine references. I also have experience in the following; Metallurgy Geology Mechanical Engineering Photography Financial Markets Second Language English teaching I offer honesty, reliability and an eye for errors in punctuation, spelling, syntax and flow. I reside in Auckland, New Zealand and English is my first language. I hope you will consider my application successful, as I'm sure you will be delighted you hired me. regards, Gary Ferguson
