Hi I am looking to publish a book and the readership is specifically for lawyers so I am looking for someone to ensure it is faultless. The project would require you to read approx 100 pages and format, correct, amend, recommend and basically change where you see fit. The book is essentially a guide to online marketing however, I'm not sure whether it needs to be a 'know how' or 'how to'.

Hello, I am a professional writer and editor with over 20 years experience, and I would like to submit a proposal for your book proofreading project. I have a degree in Creative Writing, and I have been working full-time as a freelance editor for the past five years during which time I have edited several published books ranging from novels to law textbooks. I have a good working knowledge of online marketing, and I am proficient in both U.S. and U.K. English. I am a perfectionist when it comes to the English language, and I am also skilled at correcting errors without changing the author's voice. I do all of my editing using the track changes feature of MS Word, including both in-line edits and comments regarding the reasons for the changes along with any suggestions I might have for improving the readability and flow, word choice, etc. I generally charge $3/500 words for this type of editing so I estimated my bid based on your page count; if the word count differs significantly from my estimate I can adjust my bid accordingly. Samples of my writing are available on my profile along with my resume, and if you have any questions or if you'd like additional information please don't hesitate to contact me and I'd be happy to discuss the details of the project with you further. Thanks for considering my proposal, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello. I have 40y of technical and academic editing and proofreading. I am also a ghostwriter and have written and re-written several hundred legal articles. I have a file in my portfolio, "Article Set 03 01-20", that is part of a series of legal articles I did in the past. My approach is to do a "tracked changes" version with feedback and comments, and also an "all changes accepted" version so that you can more easily read the altered text. In my full-time job I am the senior tech writer on my team. I edit, proof, mentor, train, and write as needed. I can begin immediately and will work with you after the feedback is returned to get the text to your satisfaction. Let me know if you have any questions for me. Regards, "raucoin" / Roland Aucoin

If you want your book to be absolutely perfect, then I'm the freelancer for the job. I have extensive writing and editing experience and I can proof and polish work on just about any subject matter you care to throw at me. I've previously edited manuscripts up to 110,000 words, so I understand the importance of consistency within a large piece of work to make sure it reads well throughout. My corporate background and MBA will also add value in terms of the online marketing content itself. A native English speaker, I am equally comfortable using UK or US English. Being a great communicator with a positive outlook makes it easy and enjoyable for you to deal with me, and you can always rely on my professionalism, efficiency and attention to detail. I typically use MS Word track changes functionality to deliver my proofing work, however I am happy to use some other method if preferable to you. Also, please confirm whether you require UK or US English spelling to be used for this project. I'm an independent freelancer, so you know that you will always have my personal attention and expertise. Any communication will be directly between you and me, with no middleman to confuse the issue. I love what I do and take great pride in delivering work of the highest quality. Please feel free to contact me for any further clarification. I look forward to working with you on this project, Rae

Relevant Experience and Qualifications: I have a B.A. in English and Allied Language Arts and a M.A. in Composition and Rhetoric. I am experienced in writing, editing, and proofreading undergraduate and graduate level academic and creative works. I have a passion for language and I am attentive to detail. Approach to the Job: I prefer to read for content first and then go back through and look for grammar, semantics, syntax, etc. I will do everything to preserve the voice and tone established in the document while fixing the errors. I prefer to use Microsoft Word or OpenOffice track changes, though I am unopposed to other methods of editing. I make myself as available as necessary to my clients. I am often on Freelancer and return my clients' messages promptly. I do work full-time, however my job affords me a lot of downtime, during which I do freelance work. If I were chosen for this project I would not seek other projects until this one has been completed. I look forward to working with you.

My name is Laura Mihaela Popescu and I am a professional, versatile article and e-book writer. I have seen your job offer and I believe I have the necessary experience to help you with your project. I provide different services in this field – along with proofreading and editing, all of them made thoroughly. I have a +10 years experience and I always provide professional services. If it’s just about writing, I make a thoroughly research before any project and I am very organized and selective in how I use the words, along with top notch English skills that I posses for translating, editing and proofreading. Even if I am not a native speaker, I do know that I speak, write and understand English better than many others because it is a language I simply love, this making it easier for me to proofread different documents in different specialization fields. If you would like to see how I write, you could check out my portfolio and start from there. If you are willing to give it a try, please let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I am Snehal Nair and have my post graduation in film direction and screenplay writing from SRFTI, India. I have practical experience in writing and directing short films and documentaries. I came across your advertisement post for proofreading and editing for your book which is specifically for lawyers and am interested to work on your project. I will take ten days to work on your book at least, and I admit that I have no prior experience with law books. But I would definitely like to work on your book, it is an interesting project. Looking forward to a positive response from you. Thanks and best regards, Snehal Nair.
