Hi. I am an author and proofreader, and I can proofread your novel to either US- or British-English standards. I can lower my bid a little more if necessary, but there is no way I can drop as low as $30 - and no one bidding as low as that will be performing proper proofreading or editing, which will likely result in you needing to pay someone else again to go over what the first person has done. Also, please be aware that editing and proofreading are two separate things, not one and the same, and editing costs more again than proofreading. My bid is for proofreading only.

I am a new Freelance proof-reader from Australia. My previous work was in an academic context. I worked in the Distance part of TAFE here in Queensland and edited & proof-read the learning materials from lots of sections as well as our own. My team itself was preparing adults for second-chance university entrance. It was all about typos, misspelled or misused words, faulty formatting and grammatical errors. Matched with that was the need for the materials to be inviting and make sense. I now notice those things automatically whatever I read, wherever I read it! I have also been a keen reader for decades I really love being taken to another world with its particular characters, historical period, location, mores and social class by a novelist. I love the unexpected twists of plot lines that take a novel all to somewhere unexpected. And I love exploring the issues the writer is hooked on in the novel. Novels use a different style of writing, of course, but the same basics of typos and misspellings etc! So, I see no difference in dealing with those things as successfully in a novel as I used to in learning materials. I look forward to immersing myself in your novel at the same time as editing and proof-reading it!

Hello, I am freelancer in computers but have a strong affinity towards writing. I have started this professionally from some time only but have been writing poems, articles and reports for my various other projects and for family and friends. As per this project, I find myself capable enough to proofread and edit the novel. It is always an option to test the freelancers with sample data to determine their strengths and weaknesses. Thanks.

I have experience tutoring Academic English -- which mostly involved proofreading. I have beta read novels for friends in the past and I enjoy the experience. I would be very happy to both proofread your work and provide the kind of feedback you get from a beta reader. Just tell me exactly what kind of editing and feedback you require and I will get back to you as quickly as possible. I have plenty of time on my hands and an MA in English Literature. I would love to help!

I am new to Freelancer.co.uk and I have just recently updated my profile. I am delighted to have the opportunity to apply for the work that you have advertised, as it is exactly the type of work that I am looking for and suits my skills perfectly. I have recently completed a course with Chapterhouse in Proof-reading and Copy-Editing, which has equipped me with the skills to complete proof-reading and editing assignments to a professional level. My degree in Linguistics with German has also provided me with excellent language skills and I feel that my spelling and grammar are of a very high standard. I am a perfectionist and am meticulous in every task that I complete. You can therefore be assured that I will complete your work to the very best of my ability. I hope that you find my proposal interesting and look forward to hearing from you in the future.
