Hello I noticed your project to proofread copy of text for children's books and as a full-time editor and proofreader I would be delighted to assist you. For proofreading tasks it is usual to have a fixed price rather than an hourly rate as the fee is based on a word count - this enables you to budget accurately as well. I have a standard proofreading rate of €20.00/1,000 words. Though perhaps of little interest to you, but while I am British, I actually spend most of my time in France, in the Indre. Kind Regards David Dundas

Hi, I'm a South African editor/proofreader currently living in Guatemala. Having worked in the South African educational publishing industry since 2001, I've proofread and edited hundreds of children's books. My work is thorough: I not only look at spelling and grammar but also at lay-out issues and that the illustrations work with the text. (E.g. if the text says that a character is wearing a blue shirt, I check that in the accompanying illustration the character is indeed wearing a blue shirt.) I'm proactive so when there are any issues, I find simple solutions for them. I'd love to work on this project and am looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Linell

Hi, Please tell me the word count and I can give you an accurate bid for the project - not an hourly rate - don't know how many hours it would take. I am a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience outside of this site - writing, editing, teaching creative writing and doing manuscript consultations. I have recently edited some children's books. Please see my reviews and portfolio on the site. Thank you.

Greetings! I am Kemar Daley, a talented premium freelancer in the writing sector. After reading your job description, I realized that it is the perfect fit for my skill set, moreover I have been writing and proofreading for over ten (10) years now which makes me more than competent enough to deliver high quality work as I am a talented native who is willing to start working immediately. I am fully knowledgeable of US, UK and Australian English, so you can expect a job well done. While I am certain there will be others who underbid me on this project, I can assure you several things. • I work extremely fast • I have a great writing, proofreading and critical thinking skill. • I am a Native American English speaker. This means I can ensure quality communication in regards to your project. A few questions that I have for you about the project: How soon are you looking to start? Can we discuss more via chat? Is there a possibility for long term work? For past work, please see my portfolio. Additional samples are also available upon request. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. Cheers!

Dear Client, I have seen your instructions and would be the ideal freelancer for this project. I am a native English speaker, and I have experience handling similar projects. I have carried out numerous proofreading/editing tasks for clients on this website, such as books, manuscripts, thesis' both for English and Non-English speakers. I will ensure that I look through each sentence and correct issues such as spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, and sentence structure and would be done promptly. Also, I have worked for a newspaper company in the past and regularly provide content for a blog and had to proofread and edit material before publication. You can also look at my reviews for the jobs I have done on this platform. Please feel free to contact me for more information. Regards, Quicklancer15

Hello, I'd relish a stab at your project. I have a penchant for proofreading, editing, and crafting extremely high quality content because, you see, I'm one of those writers who mind what goes up the web - Iow quality, boring material meant to entice the bots as opposed to having the reader in mind is a huge pet peeve of mine. If you're keen on hiring, then bank on me to deliver. Thank you, Ruth
