$15-25 AUD / hour

This is a large work of at least 700 A-4 word-processed pages. The editor will need to have excellent practical and theoretical knowledge of contemporary traditional English grammar, punctuation, and style. An academic qualification related to English, as well as ESL teaching experience, would also be beneficial. I am just looking for expressions of interest at this time. Job would start early December and details would need to be negotiated beforehand. An outline of the topics covered in the book is attached.

I am Anita kohli. I have been working in the publishing industry for the last 22 years. I am able to do editing, copy writing, proof-reading, translating the text/document (Eng.-Hindi & vice-versa) and content writing in an excellent manner. I assure you for best output as I write with passion keeping in mind the responsibility given to me. In my last job which was in a design studio (for publishers) I was assigned for multiple roles like editing, writing, translating, rewriting for re-edition of text-books. I have written for academic, medical, subjects related with social studies and general category . I have expressed less money on my bid as I am confident to form long term professional relationship with you. Being a post-graduate in English Literature, writing has become part of my life. Frankly speaking, 90% of the time, I do content writing and my quest for editing and copy writing remains unfulfilled. That's why I am very much interested in your project. You will get 100% correct editing service from me. You can contact me via chat box (9:00a.m.-7:00p.m.) as per Indian timings. Looking forward for the discussion of your project. Regards Anita Kohli

I am an American living in Bali and for the past 8+ years have worked with primarily non-native English speaking people editing all of their works for various formats. In addition, I spent two years teaching English in Shanghai, China, to students of all ages. I started doing editing work there with two business owners who were private students of mine. I continue to support them even now on their more complex projects. I have taken a look at your outline and see that you are creating an English book. If you take a look at my portfolio, you will see that I have worked on quite a few books. In addition to editing your book, I can also format it properly for publishing.

Hello Human49, I would love to do the editing task for your English grammar book. Being a student of English Literature, I've good command over the English language. Yes, I've learned English as a second language. And hence, I know how important it is to learn appropriate forms of grammar. I'm not a professional English teacher, but I've helped and guided a lot of persons to learn the English grammar rules correctly. I'll take care of your book's each section. No mistake in spelling, grammar, punctuation will go unnoticed. As for the budget, I think total AUD 500 would be perfect for the whole book's editing. But you have a better proposal, we can talk. One more thing- the attached file only shows the index. So, if possible, let me see some more pages through inbox so that I can guess how much changes it'll require. Finally, we can discuss the project duration. Regards- Fahmida.
