Hi, my name is Andrew. I am a highly experienced academic writer, proofreader and editor. Please feel free to ask any questions or request samples of my work. I am also more than happy to proofread a sample of the required document for you. I am a member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders in the UK and I have particular skills in copy editing and typesetting articles ready for publication. Although my main work involves preparing manuscripts ready for publishing, this of course starts with a thorough and accurate proofread. I have an impeccable eye for detail and always submit perfect work to the highest standard. I am fully proficient with all the relevant software and will use track changes if required. I will then submit a tracked copy and a clean copy ready for you to use as required. Thank You.

As a person who has experienced both anxiety and depression, and who is a qualified editor and proofreader I believe I am well placed to deliver sensitive and appropriate editing of your book. Like all editors, I am happy to work with almost any topic, but this project particularly interests me. I am collaborative and communicative by nature and give clear explanations (using Word Track Changes) if editing is required, but always strive to ensure the voice of the author is not diminished in any way. I would welcome an opportunity to discuss your project with you, and would be happy to submit a sample of my work using any extract that you provide. In any case I wish you well with your project. The value of work such as yours in well understood by me.
