Hi, I am a highly-skilled writer who has strong visual awareness, exemplary grammar and spelling knowledge, and the ability to analyze and modify. When it comes to missing links and correcting errors, look no farther. Remember, your content could be a first impression. If you send out material that is riddled with misspellings, grammatical errors, and wrong information, you aren’t going to be presenting a good image of your business. Here is the summary what you have requested. Task: I would like to hire a Proofreader Short summary : Proofreading the sci-fi novel. Proposed Deadline: 15 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

Hi. Although I live in Brazil now, I´m an American writer, editor and proofreader, a native English speaker with excellen written language skills and years of experience correcting and improving books. I use Track Changes to show you my corrections and comments in your text, and offer a second revision (after I read and correct your text and ask any questions, you can adjust it or respond, after which I make a final revision). I´m a big sci-fi fan, and will be very useful to you in this final stage of your work. I´d be glad to prove this before you hire me by proofreading 1-2 pages of your choice as a free demonstration. Please contact me with the pages of your choice. Thanks, David

Hello, I am a native English speaker currently residing in Croatia, a professional proofreader, editor and writer with a strong work ethic and great sense of responsibility towards my clients. I approach my clients' projects with the same amount of concentration and dedication that I would approach my own. I can assure you that you would not have to worry about any oversights made due to inattention. I would gladly help you make the necessary corrections to your text! My bid is set to 200$ in 15 days because I would rather charge less but take the time to make sure that everything is perfect. However if this is too long for you, I would be willing to complete the project sooner at a slightly higher price. As stated on my profile page, I guarantee high-quality work, but am entirely new to this platform and can therefore only prove myself by getting an opportunity to show you my expertise. That is also why I am willing to work for a lower rate than the usual. I hope you will consider my proposal. Thank you for your time! Best regards, Sarah J.

Hello, I understand that a copy and paste article may need to undergo several modifications for it to pass copyscape. I will modify, edit proofread and re-write the article to meet the required specifications. I will also seek to correct grammar errors and overall try to refine the English language.

Hi, I've been providing proofreading, editing and writing services for over a decade, with many satisfied clients in Malaysia, the UK and the US. Like any professional proofreader, I have a strong grasp of grammar and a keen eye for detail, both of which help me ensure that errors and typos are eliminated from your final document. But what sets me apart from many of my colleagues is I truly enjoy proofreading and am fascinated by anything to do with language. It's embarrassing to admit this but I often find myself scanning and proofreading commercial documents, websites, signs and billboards just for fun. : ) Needless to say, my attempts to provide corrections to the owners of such documents haven't always been met with welcoming comments, so these days I try to limit my services to those who are actually looking for them. When I saw your project was for a sci-fi novel, I had to submit a bid because I do enjoy sci-fi as a genre and thought it would be a really interesting project to work on. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about my experience and background. Regards, Ayeshah

Hello, I consider myself a skilled writer that strives to make the customer happy and completely satisfied. Since I have excellent grammar and spelling capabilities, I am able to determine the concept that is trying to be shared by the customer. I then turn around and correct missing links or other errors and produce refreshed content that is plagiarism-free. No online rewriting tool is needed in this case. It is important to remember that the content of your business plan – not just the appearance – could be the first impression a prospective client may get. If the prospective customer receives a document that is full of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and inaccurate information it can give a poor impression of the presenting business. It would be my pleasure to help you get your content in optimal shape. Regards
