Hello, I understand that a copy and paste article may need to undergo several modifications for it to pass copyscape. I will modify 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. Regards, Garon Helton

UPDATE 20/09: Still interested! *Native English speaker/immediate start* First 1,000 words editing free! Yes, I know, perhaps I'm a little crazy, but I have faith in my abilities and I'd like to show you how good I am. I'm also happy to offer you this as I would like the opportunity to work for you on an ongoing basis if you're happy with my work, as I see you run your own publishing house. Absolutely no obligation. Unlike other freelancers, I don't just skim over manuscripts or put your text through a simple spell check. I am professional and thorough and I want to prove it. Why pick me? 1. I have ten years experience working as an editor, proofreader, and creative producer. I am currently a part-time editor at Berlin-based publishing house, Inkitt, specialising in fantasy and YA fiction. I will also provide a couple of pages of notes to accompany my edits. 2. I have written four sell-out theatre plays (the latest premiered in a palace across the road from where Mozart premiered Don Giovanni in Prague). Yes, a palace! My background in theatre makes me a specialist in plot, comedy, and dialogue. As an Australian, I feel comfortable with UK English, and I absolutely love British fiction! (Douglas Adams is my favourite!) 3. Attention to detail. I believe all good editors should strive for perfection. 4. I am friendly and efficient, and I always meet deadlines. If you'd like to discuss things in more detail please get in touch via the chat! All the best, Stu.
