I’m a native English speaker and English teacher living and working in Egypt. I have carefully read your project description and I strongly believe I can help you in this important editing/proofreading project. I have participated in a great number of creative writing, rewriting, proofreading, editing and copy-editing tasks for years. However, I'm positive that this job requires meticulous attention to detail as professional copy editors should have broad experience in linguistics so that they can suggest better alternatives. I'm not only a copy editor but a former EFL teacher, as well—a fact that enables me to use the English language effectively and accurately. Furthermore, I understand completely that you need an expert in editing and proofreading—someone who won't just detect errors, but recast improperly written sentences and give constructive feedback and deliver the intended message. It'd be a pleasure to help you get this project perfectly done within deadline. I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects, but I usually keep copies of your documents on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. The finished product will include two copies of the edited text, one that shows the changes, and one that incorporates all of the changes. Confidentiality assured!

Hi there, I would love to help you make your manuscript shine! I have lived and worked all over the world, and bring this global perspective to my editing projects. I have edited multiple full-length manuscripts, eBooks and items of correspondence, and have maintained a 5-star rating, while completing all my projects on time and within budget. I am also permanently contracted to edit 7,500 words per day for the world’s most trafficked natural news website. I have been awarded the 'Preferred Freelancer' badge on this site, and my UK and US English test scores are both in the top 5%. I offer different tiers of editing, targeted to your specific needs: 1) Basic proofreading: Your novel is complete and you just need that final check to eliminate embarrassing spelling and typing errors. 2) Copy/mechanical editing: You don’t need deep editing of the content of your manuscript, but require more than just a basic check of spelling and grammar. 3) Content/substantive editing: You require the above, plus that all-important deep check of plot, flow and character development. This step perfects your story line. My bid is for full level-3 editing and proofing. A recent review from a delighted client: “She is amazing! She's personable, hardworking and incredibly knowledgeable about proofreading/editing. I hope to hire her numerous times in the future. Hire her! ” Thank you for considering my proposal. I hope we get to work together! Kind regards, Tracey

I am well versed in narrative structures and editing fiction, possessing a degree in creative writing, and having published a number of short stories and an anthology of stories. I have worked as an online editor, commissioning and editing articles every day, and so my proofreading skills are excellent. I also have qualifications in grammar. I have beta read and edited for a number of aspiring writers and understand how to improve work without destroying the original voice and the intentions of the narrative. I am also able to give feedback and advice in a productive way. The length of time I have bid may seem longer than most, but I think to do the job properly, and have chance to consider to overall narrative, needs longer than just a couple of days. Also, to do a proper job of line editing and making suggestions requires time and attention. You have not specified if you need feedback on the overall narrative, or someone to proofread the work, but I can happily do both (or either) for this fee. Please let me know and we can agree how you would to work. I often use ‘track changes’ and ‘comments’ in Word, so you can approve each change, or choose an alternative, but we can discuss what works best for you. As I am just starting out on Freelancer, I am happy to devote a good amount of time to this project and make sure you get the kind of attention to your work that you are looking for. I will also be available to answer any questions you have after receiving my work.

Hi, I'd be interested to hear more about your project. I'm well versed in editing fiction, having taken a class in college, and worked in several departments of the publishing industry for the past four years. As a writer myself I understand the need for communication between editor and writer and a clear understanding of what both parties envision for the final product and how to make it as effective as it can be. I can also offer assistance in the process of submitting manuscripts and book proposals once the novella feels complete enough to be submitted. Please do not hesitate to ask any further questions, I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi! I could be perfect for the project due to the following reasons: I have a fair command over language and grammar. I have published many an article for a leading daily "the hindustan times" even as their intern. I have published a paper relating to juvenile delinquency in an international journal. I had secured certificates titled "creative writing in English" three times in a row back in school. I am an avid reader, my favourite authors after J. K Rowling being Neil Gaiman and Haruki Murakami.
