I have a badly translated novel that needs proofreading and editing. I have a file of 13 000 words that will be as a test editing/proofreading, and if it gets edited well, the rest of the novel will be sent. There is alot of editing to do. But the english is simple, the grammar is just thrown around alot, so no huge brains needed, just fast fingers. No huge budget unfortuneately.

How fast can you edit 100 000 words? Each job is different! It depends on the number of changes needed but I have edited novels of a similar number of words within one week. Proposal: I registered with Freelancer two years ago and have 176 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing, proofreading, and transcribing. My work has included editing documents that have been translated into English, in particular, from Spanish and Dutch, as well as several novels that have been translated from other languages. In addition, for one year I have been the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, an online journal, and about six months ago I began as the copy editor for the Blind Foundation of New Zealand. 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 more than 25 books to publication and seven 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.

How fast can you edit 100 000 words? Around 22 hours. I'm basing my answer on the time it's taken me (9 minutes) to edit the first 4 pages (683 words) of another, similar project recently posted to Freelancer. (Let me know if you'd like the particulars, or a copy of the document I'm referring to). Proposal: Hi there! Having read your description, I'd be keen to work on your project. I'm a fast reader with a knack for spotting grammatical and punctuation errors in text, with high attention to detail. I'm skilled at touch typing - around 100 words per minute. As proof of this I could provide you with a screen capture video I've just recorded of my typing speed test results at typingtest [dot] com. I'm well-equipped for proofreading and editing work of this kind. I use a good quality mechanical keyboard, dual screens which are advantageous when it comes to editing and proofreading, and a reliable Internet connection. I am in South Africa and the timezone here is SAST (GMT+2). Please feel free to send me a message should you have any questions, and thanks for your consideration! Richard Herselman

How fast can you edit 100 000 words? Hi there! I can edit 100.000 words in roughly 14 days. Proposal: Hi! I’m a journalist student from Denmark. I’m fluent in Danish and English, and spend my daily routine writing internal newsletters for several large Danish companies. Apart from this, I also write their social media post materials. I’m familiar with both American written dialect, as well as British written dialect. I can translate, ghost/copywrite, as well as researching my own creative writing if necessary. I’m new to freelancer.com – therefore I’m looking for references, and because of this I’m willing to go below average on my biddings. Look at my profile – I have some reviews you can take a look at.

How fast can you edit 100 000 words? It depends on the state of the novel. I would really need to see the sample of text to know for sure. Anyone who tells you a precise number can only be guessing, but I would say two weeks at least if you want the job done properly. Proposal: *Native English speaker/lived in Europe eight years* Why pick me? 1. Although I am new to Freelancer.com I am eager to prove myself for I have ten years experience working as a writer, editor, proofreader, and creative producer. I have placed a low bid price as I am keen to get a start on this website and to demonstrate my abilities. 2. Attention to detail. I go over everything with a microscope ten times over because I'm a perfectionist and I believe in doing an outstanding job every time. 3. I am friendly and efficient. We can communicate via Skype, email, or chat, it's completely up to you. I fit in with your process and your deadlines. I can start work on the project immediately. If you would like to know more about me or discuss the project in more detail please contact me via the chat. I am assuming that the price stated is for editing the thirteen thousand words? Best regards, Stu.

How fast can you edit 100 000 words? Depending on the genre and condition of the copy, my personal chart says between 40 and 65 hours, so I predict, around 50 hours from me for a general-purpose line copy-edit. Proposal: Aside from the recommended 'fast fingers'... I have a background in editing and writing; having worked in the field for around 10 years.
