$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I need a sharp pair of eyes to read over the final draft of my book. I am looking for a professional and experienced proofreader/editor who can correct any spelling, grammar or syntax issues according to American rules of grammar, spelling and punctuation. As this should be a simple job, please keep your bidding offer realistic but competitive. I need to trust you 100% and your abilities to catch out any final errors with my book, so please only apply if you are a native English speaker. I have had issues before with readers telling me that they were put off by grammar/punctuation/syntax confusions … so I really don’t want this to happen again. This book is nonfiction and in the spiritual category. You are free to take as much time as you need editing it – in fact, I would prefer that if possible! Please place an offer now if interested.

Hello, I have read your project brief and i would like to submit my bid. I believe congratulating you on your final draft is in order, It takes a lot of discipline and dedication to achieve that. I am an experienced writer and proofreader my self and i would like to deploy my skills for your project. Although you might say i am not an Englishman, i am from Nigeria whose official language is English and i also schooled in Cardiff Metropolitan University in Wales, United Kingdom where i obtained my MBA (Masters of Business Administration) in 2014. So you can be rest assured of the quality of my English, grammar and editing skills. If you take a look at my reviews you will discover that most of my past employers on freelancer are from United Kingdom and Ireland which i believe is a proof of my competence. It will be a great honor for me if you become my first Aussie Employer. Please feel free to ask me question before you make up your mind. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, Michael

I work as a writer for a company where I write different types of content for example website content, speeches, magazine articles, product catalogues, copy , scripts and many smaller things too. Since we are a small company I also proofread and edit all my work so I am experienced. I would say I really have a sharp eye for spotting grammatical/spelling/syntax errors. Errors really irritate me so that is why I love correcting them. I also enjoy reading about spiritual things and have quite a lot of knowledge on it. I will like to take my time with it and nor rush it, as to assure it is perfect. Would love to hear from you.
