Hi there - my name is Nicholas. I’ve read your brief and can see that you’d like to employ a talented proofreader to review and correct your your short story. I have many years of working in professional fields allowing me to hone skills in all aspects of English including grammar, vocabulary, sentence formation and sentence correction (proficient in USA/AUS/UK/CAN English). I have also spent 7 of the last 10 years living and working in the USA so I am fully conversant and up to date with US English too! I am highly qualified for this project and would love to speak with you further about taking this project on. My Freelancer CV and portfolio gives you a fuller view of my experience and qualifications, but if you still have any further questions to ask me then please feel free to go ahead. I look forward to your positive response and some more detail by return. Nicholas

The truth is being a proofreader is not enough to spot the grammatical errors, bad sentence structure, wrong punctuation, poor contextual spelling and wrong sentence style. Only a professional proofreader with an editing experience can do all those. With more than 9 years’ experience as a proofreader and an editor, I will provide you with 2 in 1 service(editing and proofreading) to make sure your content is perfect and ready to be used. If awarded the project; 1) I will rewrite sentences and paragraphs when necessary 2) can assure you of clearer, more readable, and understandable content 3) will use my specialized knowledge to clarify and improve text when required 4) will go beyond “spellcheck” to catch errors a computer might miss 5) I can guarantee you of zero grammatical errors, even after a document has been edited by you or another freelancer. All my proofreading and editing project comes with track changes, which means that you will be receiving two documents, one track changes and the final document. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions. I sincerely look forward to working with you either on a short or long term. Best Regards, David B.

Hello! Not only am I a traditionally-published children's author, but in my time as a freelance editor, I have edited and/or proofread numerous children's books. These have included short story compilations, picture books, easy chapter books, and historical fiction novels (geared towards 9-13 year olds). My own publisher even hired me to freelance edit one of their own children's books. I do charge $9 AUD an hour. Your text should take no more than forty-five minutes to complete, give or take. Should I determine that it will take longer, I will clear that with you, first. If this sounds good, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I am always more than happy to address any concerns you may have. Thank you for reading this! Charles Martin

I have been proofreading for a book publishing company for the past three years and have proofread and edited 24 books for them so far. It takes me an average of two days to finish (proofread + edit) a 300+ page book as I am a very fast reader and have an eye for detail. My work ethic is based on accuracy and punctuality, meaning I do my work correctly and never miss a deadline.
