If you view my profile you will see that I registered with Freelancer in February this year and I have 20 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, transcribing, editing and proofreading. My ongoing freelance work includes editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was very satisfied with the result. Other recent work has included rewriting a 24,500-word book to change it from a children's book to one suitable to be read by adults, and the result was described by the client as "perfect". A second book for this client, this time 35,000 words, restructuring the chapters as well as proofreading the content, was also "perfect". (These jobs were via Elance and were both non-fiction books.) 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 11 books to publication. Having been a teacher of English in high school for several years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. I have also taught English as a second language for several years. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own.

She is consistent and creative and this book wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for her awesome editing!” “klboots performed an edit and a detailed critique of my 75,000 word novel and I could not be more happy with the final product! I will definitely hire again, thank you!!” “Klboots did an excellent job proofreading and editing my novel! She paid attention to detail and greatly improved my book's structure! I plan on re-hiring her very soon! Thanks again!!!” “Amazing proof-reader! I have been hiring her for a while and I would not hire anyone else!"
