Hello I have a rate of $17.5.00/1,000 words for copy editing and I have a number of clients whose books have been professionally published after using my services, http://www.amazon.com/Unexpected-Journey-Hero-Awakes-Thunderdragons/dp/1452594503/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404697502&sr=8-1&keywords=james+vollbracht is the most recent - please note this is not a self-published book but one published professionally by Balboa Press in paperback and hardback versions. James Vollbracht will gladly provide a verifiable reference if needed. You will also see that few Freelancers have the UK English Level 2 certification, while I also have the highest pass for the US top level 3 exam at 98%. I am available 7 days a week and do all the work myself, so you are guaranteed quality. I hope to have the opportunity of working with you in the near future. Regards David Dundas

Quote: $30= 1000 words (1-2 rounds of copy editing) Judging from my 100% English Exam Badge, I can assure you that I can proofread your books with accuracy in terms of grammar, typos, and flow. I am a Broadcast Communication student from University of the Philippines, the top university in our country. Because of my course, I am experienced when it comes to written and audio works. Furthermore, I can assure you that I will have my time dedicated on your project. I could give you my contact so you could check on my progress from time to time and I could clarify all instructions as to accomplish the work perfectly. The milestone I am asking from you is also just a fair deal for the both of us. I am looking forward to work with you. I hope you could consider my proposal and work with me in your several projects in the future

I possess the skills and experience you require from a freelancer. I am a native English speaker from New Zealand, and I'm able to read and comprehend English to a very high standard. I have successfully completed projects which involved proofreading content, making edits and rewriting for clarity and correct grammar. I've also passed the Freelancer.com exams in US English Level 3 and UK English Level 2, which are the highest English qualifications available on the site. My previous work experience includes a senior role in the marketing department of a large magazine publishing company, where I was responsible for planning and executing retail marketing campaigns, proofreading a monthly newsletter which was distributed to over 4,000 of my employer's retail clients, and checking and verifying the accuracy of reports and press releases prior to publication. When an internal staff newsletter was launched in 2012 I donated my free time to proofreading and editing the first three issues, and I also wrote several articles which were included in these newsletters. I'm an avid reader and I love to expand my horizons by learning about a wide range of topics, so I'll be able to focus on the content of your clients' work in order to ensure each book is grammatically correct and communicate their ideas clearly. My per word rate is $0.02 (2 cents per word) for copy editing. Hire me for this project – you won't be disappointed! Feel free to contact me to discuss this opportunity.

Hello! Please accept this cover letter and bid in response to your posting for copy editing services for your English books. I am a freelance copywriter and editor based in New York. I have a degree in Screenwriting and extensive experience writing and editing textbooks, essays, blog content, articles, commercials, and scripts for companies in the US, Asia, South America, and Europe. Recent clients include TDA Enterprises (Canada); Celebrity Net Worth (US); and AIMViz (UAE). My fee is $0.01 per word for one round of copyediting. I am perfectionist, so I do my best to address all grammar, syntax, and punctuation issues the first time. If any additional rounds are required, I charge an additional $0.005 per word for every round. Please take a moment to review the samples in my portfolio. Additional editing samples, my full writing resume, and references are available upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to have the opportunity to speak with you further. Sincerely, Paula Wilson

Hello! I understand that you are looking for someone who can provide copy editing services for English books. I have been proofreading and editing books for several years now, although I have only recently joined Freelancer.com. I usually charge $0.01 per word or $3/page (whichever one works best for the client). The last books I edited was for a member of a hip hop boy band from the 90s, whose book is now in production to become a movie. I can provide writing samples upon request. Please feel free to ask me any other questions you might have. Many thanks!

Hi, I'm a journalism student looking to make some money working from home. I have a background in English Lit, so this is my sort of gig! I would charge 1.5c per word, which would come to $7.50 for every 500 words. I think this more than reasonable, as it is below the rates currently offered by those in the Editorial Freelancer's Association. I'm looking forward to hearing back from you, and am open to negotiation! -Georg

I would like to work on your project because I love book editing. I am a passionate reader so I know what a reader wants. I am an attentive and fast writer. I got level C1 on my TLC Language test in college (C2 meaning native speaker). I respect deadlines. I don't know how prices are in book editing, but I am a newbie so I work cheap.

HELLO, I am here to give you a brief idea about the way I work. I have 100% confidence on my typing, editing & spelling work. As I am very fast & accurate at typing, so can assure you to do your project as per your requirements. According to me, the most important thing that should be given preference in data entry & typing work is its accuracy and time management. And for these 2 factors, I can assure you completely. I am working as a new member to you, because of which you might have problems in believing on me, but the only thing I would like to say is “BE ASSURED”. Be Assured is used in context of the quality and the time management of the project. As I am free now I have confidence that I will complete your work within the time quoted by me or may be even earlier than that. I am sure that once I work for you, you will definitely like to work with me again. Hereby I am closing by saying that I am waiting for your project to be done by me. Thank You. Hope to get a reply from you soon. Thank You once again.
