Proofreading/editing/rewording/formating a 55000 words doc into a novel

I am interested in your project and would like to see the text of your novel. I registered with Freelancer in February this year and have 37 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. 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 six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own.

My time frame for completing a project this size will range from one week to two weeks, depending on the amount of editing required.

Hi, Freelancer limits the space we have to send you an offer letter. I apologize for the brevity. I have a five-star rating on four sites, I have passed all of the English tests and the proofreading tests, and I have over twenty years of experience editing and proofreading thousands of documents. I’m an experienced proofreader who checks every single punctuation mark, each individual character, and every word (to make sure the word is actually there, to make sure the correct word is used, to make sure it’s not an extra word, and, of course, to make sure the word is spelled correctly). I check for proper grammar, phraseology, and overall clarity. I check for consistency and ensure that the document reads smoothly. I’m proficient in Microsoft Word, and I can track the changes if you would like to see any revisions I have made. I have proofread every kind of document imaginable including technical manuals, books, novels, presentations, tables, academic papers, articles, newsletters, flyers, and web content. My portfolio contains samples of a variety of documents I have proofread. As you can also see in my portfolio, I’m familiar with all the e-book formatting requirements for Smashwords, Amazon’s Kindle, etc. My bid is $425.00 CAD to reword, edit, proofread, and format your book for publication as an e-book. I could start right away, and it would take seven to ten days to complete. Cheers, Luanne

Hi there, I believe I would make a great candidate for editing and proofing your novel. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 2013 with an English degree with an intent on editing. I worked at my local newspaper for four years as its proofreader. While working there my duties included reading and proofing all national and locally written articles that were put into that day's newspaper, all while under a deadline. Other editing and proofing experiences I have include: six novels, two have been published, three children's books, all have been published, one how-to photography book, six short stories, one which is being turned into a script, four business proposals, four years' worth of newspaper inserts called Primetimes, several articles for the newspaper The Compass, and I've written dozens of articles for the newspaper I worked at, all were published. I have a keen eye for small grammar and spelling details. I like to read the manuscript or project at least three times so I do not miss any mistakes. I am able to do these things efficiently and properly and still can reach deadline on time.

Hello, Client, I am a Ph.D. student historian, so I have quite much experience in text editing and proofreading. Please, share some details about your work, like scope, deadlines, etc. Regards, Nandor
