I’m the girl who reads ebooks and cringes at the spelling and grammar errors. I have a BA in English and I am always reading. However, My professional experience is limited. I recently participated in a Betta reading for one of my favorite YA authors. I was reminded how much I enjoy proofreading and editing. The 29 chapters were reviewed and returned promptly. I’m hoping you will give me the opportunity to gain more experience in this field. Thank you.

Hello, 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 further. 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: Proofreading of fiction novel I have some question for you. Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

If you let me review your document, perhaps I may agree this is is a "quickie", and lower my requested compensation. You are not getting any inexpensive bids because the bidders have no clue as to the current quality of the document. Whether it is in good condition or not, any reputable proofreader will have to read EVERY sentence, and may very well have his or her own take on good grammar. I have edited and proofread novels, websites, self-help books, CVs, Masters' Theses, Doctoral Dissertations, Letters of Application to universities and medical schools, worldwide. I can be of assistance. It is as important to me as it is to you, sincerely. Please read my profile, and my reviews, all unsolicited. I have a great depth of experience with this area of endeavor. I can do a small section of your work, gratis, prior to award, to allow you the opportunity to review my qualifications. I appreciate any consideration of my interest. I am in the Eastern US Time Zone. Please let me help you.

Your bid is a little confusing!! Your title requests a proofreader, but then you go on to mention "editing" in the project description. I have been a proofreader for more than 20 years and have a wealth of experience in this area. I use track changes in word and have placed my bid with regard to the proofreading of your 78k YA book. I have worked for a vast number of US clients throughout my career so proofreading an American novel is something I am familiar with. Please don't hesitate to get in touch via chat. Best regards. Stephanie

"Hello, Collaboration, attention to detail, consistency, patience, creativity, and accuracy. These are all traits I have to bring to the table as an editor. Editing is crucial and must be taken seriously, and very carefully. Not only will I fact check and do my research, I will also look for proper and consistent style and tone. My proofreading, editing, and rewriting abilities allow readers to clearly understand and dive into a piece of writing. I have an eye for altering to the point of creating a successful piece of work, as desired by my client.

Hello, and congrats on finishing a novel! My name is Jackie, and I would love to do your final edit. I'm a native American English speaker with impeccable grammar skills. I also have a keen eye and ear for characterization, voice, flow, sentence structure, story arc, and plot. Perfect prose is my passion--I have copy-edited five novels, a self-help book, and several newspaper/magazine articles and business publications. I am currently a writer and staff copy editor with three local publications in my city, and I have worked as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. I do use Track Changes, and I would be more than happy to edit a sample of your writing free of charge in order for you to determine if I am a fit for your needs. I also have samples of my prior work and references available upon request. I estimate that this proofreading project will take a maximum of 20 hours, depending on how much is really needed at this point. I normally charge by the hour, and have placed my bid according to a 20-hour estimate. If it were to take a shorter amount of time, I'd reduce the charge. I look forward to hearing from you!
