Hello, What's the count of your written content? I'd be happy to help. I can provide you editorial assistance in 10 weekdays (Monday-Friday). I'm an experienced, professionally trained, full-time freelance editor. I've edited, proofread, and formatted written documents, such as books, e-books, journal articles, magazine articles, manuals, PowerPoint slides, web content, as well as university-approved master's and doctoral dissertations varying in length and subject matter while adhering to the required style guide. I provide the necessary recommendations and amendments using the MS Word comment tool and track changes feature, or apply standard proofreading marks when working on files in PDF format. For another brief reference, you may also read the Freelancer story about me https://www.freelancer.com/community/articles/how-a-filipino-editor-triumphed-over-unemployment. I hope to know more about your project. If you’d have questions or concerns regarding my proposal, just send me an e-mail and I’ll respond shortly. Thank you for taking the time to review my proposal and profile. For now I wish you a blessed day ahead. Sincerely, Al

Hi As I understand, you need an editor who has the ability to copyedit your biography. I'm interested in getting the job as I’m an experienced writer and editor. I’ve been working in writing and editing line for more than 20 years. I took graduation and master degree in Journalism and MPhil in English Studies. So I know very well how to write, edit, rewrite and improve a write-up. At Freelancer, I’ve also completed several writing, rewriting, editing and proofreading projects. You can see samples of my writing and editing works in my portfolio. At present, I’m attached to FAZA Editing House. If I take up the job, it is my commitment to deliver the work on time. I hope you will find me suitable for your work. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks SM Saifuddin

To Whom It May Concern, My name is Lucy Dean, I am 24 years old, and I am currently undertaking my second Bachelors Degree, in Anthropology and Sociology, at the University of Western Australia. I have also completed a Bachelors Degree in Chinese Language, Culture, and History, at Beijing Normal University. I have over 5 years experience working in various positions that have required my fluency in English and Mandarin Chinese, excellent writing, editing, transcribing, and proofreading skills, and ability to work under strict deadlines. My experiences include, but are not limited to; editing academic works, transcribing focus-group interviews, in English and Mandarin, collating and formatting research results, and translating book materials from Mandarin to English. I am meticulous in my attention to detail, and take enormous pride in my work. As I am new to Freelancer, I do not have any reviews by which you can assess my suitability to this role, however I can guarantee prompt completion of all assigned tasks, and an impressively high standard of work. I can also provide same-day service for works that require six hours or less to complete. If you would like to view a copy of my resume, in order to determine the validity of my professional experiences, please do not hesitate to request one, as I will be only too happy to oblige. Thank you for your time, Sincerely, Lucy Dean

Please contact me with more details about your expectations. Looking forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Joelle L.

Hello, I am an English freelance worker with a huge amount of experience within editing and proofreading. I have proofread entire novels before so I have a lot of experience at following a large text through without getting lazy and missing mistakes at any point. Since I am English, my language, spelling and grammar is perfect so I would be able to spot any errors no matter how small they might be, which is something very few people on here will be able to do due to their native language not being English. Please message me if you are interested in working with me and we can discuss this further. Thank you, Andrew

Hello! I am an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher and private tutor in Bucharest, Romania. As a consequence, I not only have full command of both English Grammar and Punctuation, but also a very wide vocabulary and understanding of all expressions and colloquialisms. Being a teacher has also trained me in spotting and editing out or correcting all mistakes in a paper/literary work, and if that is not enough, I have edited numerous works (mainly articles and short e-books) for my professional and academic acquaintances - including university professors. I also possess a CPE (Cambridge Proficiency Examination), the highest level of qualification offered by The University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations. Also, I have recently started working as a Master Category judge for the Ink and Insights Literature Contest based in Amarillo, Texas. This is something easily verifiable by accessing their website. My interest in this project consists mainly of my confidence in my ability to reach full and above satisfactory completion of this task, given my experience and level of knowledge. I look forward to a successful and advantageous collaboration with you. Thank you, Maria Tureschi
