Greetings, Accomplished and professional proofreader and editor is at your services. I am highly proficient in English with impeccable grammar and sentence structure. US English level 3 and UK English level 2 badges in my profile testify to my English language proofreading capabilities. My English language skills match those of native speakers as I have been to the United States on FulBright Scholarship for studying Media. I have done several similar jobs of proofreading dissertations, technical papers, scientific journal articles, eBooks, fiction stories, website content and academic journal articles. Have a look at my profile to see the reviews left by those clients to see how satisfied they were with my proofreading. I'll do proofreading on your document using Track Changes feature of MS Word so you could see for yourself what's been edited and corrected. Trust me with this job and rest assured about the elimination of all grammatical, sentence structure, spelling, punctuation and inappropriate word choice errors. Message me for further details. I look forward to working with you. Regards

Hi there. I would love to have the opportunity to edit and proofread your manuscript before submission for publication. You are likely to be inundated with bids from other freelancers who will really stress their writing skills. I am not going to do that. I am not a writer. I am an editor. I believe that writing is a creative, beautiful thing while editing is analytical, painstaking and detail-oriented work which requires a totally different skill set. The combination of a great writer and a good editor make for an awesome manuscript! I will not re-write your work. I will preserve your 'voice' and story, while polishing out any rough parts and really making your work shine. I have been awarded a preferred freelancer badge by Freelancer.com. In addition, my US and UK English language scores are in the top 5%, testifying to my excellent command of the English language. This is what two of my recent clients had to say about my work: “Such a skilled and professional editor - really knows her stuff! Her comments were/are extremely helpful to my novel. Communication and timeliness of the deliverable were also above expectations. I would like to work with her again!” “Absolutely fantastic to work with! Great engagement and quality. All work and milestones completed ahead of expectation and to the highest quality. Strongly recommended for future work.” Thank you for considering my proposal. I would love to have the opportunity to work with you. Kind regards, Tracey

Hi, I can do a really great job with editing your book. I currently run my own editing business in the UK where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA, MA, CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service in the UK for several years I have put in a fairly low bid in order to be competitive on Freelancer, but please don't wonder if this will affect the quality of the work. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done by your deadline or sooner. I will: - Check your book for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity where necessary - Assist with structure and graphology/layout if appropriate - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

On top of being a Spanish native speaker and holder of a Master's Degree in Iberian and Latin American Studies, I am also an English Literature and French Linguistics graduate. I have spent the last 8 years working as a Certified Language Teacher. I have taught the four languages I master: English, French, Spanish and Basque both in France and Spain, in public Official Language Schools and high schools. I have been working as an English, Spanish and French translator and proofreader for the past 5 months, I have completed 100% of my projects on time and at the established budget and I have been rehired by 22% of the previous employers. I am available to work right now as well as regularly, so you can have your book error-free in 7 days maximum. My best rate is 35 US per 1000 words. My husband who is a native French speaker proofreads my translations to French to make some small changes so that they sound 100% not translated! My academic background as a linguist is very extensive. I studied Arts at University College Cork (Ireland) and graduated in English Literature by the University of Deusto (Spain). Then, I moved to France where I received my Bachelor's Degree in French Linguistics as well as my Master's Degree in Iberian and Latin American Studies. Please, send me a message if you wish to know anything else. Thank you for your attention. Yours sincerely, Leire Aguirregabiria.
