I'm looking for a native speaker of (UK) English for proofreading of my PhD thesis. This is not a re-writing exercise as I'm not that interested in good quality language (stylistics and logic). I'm rather interested in articles and preposition to be fixed, the same goes to sentence structures and synonyms (e.g. "big organisation" vs "large organisation"). Please remember this is UK English proofreading, so "organisation" instead of "organization". The thesis has eight chapter each having 47000 symbols (or 6300 words) in average, which include LaTeX commands -- please see sample* below. This means you would have to work in a text editor (like TeX editors or Notepade++) instead of word processor (MS Word or Pages), hence, five-ten percent less to check yet likely in a non-familiar environment without fancy features. I would prefer to pay per average chapter, so please provide time&cost estimates per chapter. I'll see all your changes using Notepade++ >> Pugins >> Compare feature and I'll also check the quality of proofreading. --------------------------------- * Sample --------------------------------- Steel making is a general term of steel manufacturing production processing, starting from mining and finishing with some basic products you can find in any store (nails, screws, tubes, etc). Scrap yards and the machinery used in secondary steel making also is a part of steel making. Engineering Employers Federation (EEF), an organisation that represents manufacturing in UK, provide educational materials about steel making \cite{SteelMakingWeb}. Figure~\ref{fig_c1_steelmaking} shows major processes of steel making; the original visualisation from the website \cite{SteelMakingWeb} provides better insight into the process. \begin{figure} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{[login to view URL]} \end{center} \caption{Generic steel making process, re-drawn from \cite{SteelMakingWeb}.} \label{fig_c1_steelmaking} \end{figure} ---------------------------------

I would love to proofread your thesis and could do it in Notepad so that the formatting is correct. My own English Literature thesis is uploaded in the portfolio section of my profile so you can have a look at that if you're interested. I pay impecable attention to detail so nothing will be overlooked, I'm also very efficient as my background is in journalism so deadlines were always looming. My bid is for 3 chapters and if you have any questions please just let me know. I look forward to hearing from you.
