I registered with Freelancer in February this year and have 30 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. I have ongoing freelance work editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer. I have also just been asked to join the Preferred Freelancer Program. Other recent work has included proofreading five theses, as well as individual chapters of academic writing. 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 12 books to publication and three of these clients have rehired me to work on a second book. Having been a teacher of English in high school for several years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own. I would use the Track Changes tool for your document, inserting comments where necessary.

Hi, I can do a really great job with editing your novel. I currently run my own editing business, 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 and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service 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 to a high standard by your deadline or sooner. For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Check your novel for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity where necessary - Assist with plot structure, characterization and originality - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

I am an English teacher, with a Master of Applied Linguistics. I am highly skilled in the areas of English spelling and grammar, and as a native speaker of English, will be able to ensure that my editing is completed with fluency and accurate use of vocabulary throughout. I am able to edit in a completely objective manner - correcting spelling and grammar whilst still maintaining the author's voice within the text. You will notice that I have already edited other novels on this site, each with excellent levels of feedback. I will use 'track changes' in Microsoft Word in editing your novel, and I am also able to give stylistic advice in terms of storyline, reader appeal and text organization if desired. Please consider me for this project and you will not be disappointed. I will edit the first chapter free of charge as a sample to help you decide.

I am a native English speaker who was born in England. I have a degree in English and a post-graduate diploma in Psychology and Education for Special Needs. I recently gained a certificate in proofreading and copy editing from The Writers Bureau, Manchester. I currently work as a Special Educational Needs Casework Officer for a local council here in England. I read widely and have a natural love and flair for words. I enjoy writing as much as I do reading, which is handy, as all my working life, my jobs have included a healthy degree of report writing. My writing skills caught the eye of a colleague of mine, and I now proofread and re-write her undergraduate essays and projects. To successfully complete your project, I will employ 3 stages in approaching it: Stage 1 Which will involve reading it as I would a book I bought, just to get to know the text. If I spot an obvious error, I will mark it, but not analyse it in too much detail, at this stage. This will help me in getting to 'know' the book, and understand if you have any preferred spellings of words (such as 'ise' or 'ize'. Stage 2 I will read the book again, this time scrutinizing the text more closely, using a ruler to assess each line one at a time, annotating in the text and the margins, all the amendments required. Stage 3 The third reading will see me checking the numbers and any cross-referencing, and whether pages and chapters are numbered sequentially. Please contact me if you wish to discuss further.
