I need someone to copy edit an academic article prior to submission to an economics journal. The text of the article is approximately 18K words. The copyediting needs to be more than just noting where a comma is missing. On top of correcting any pure grammatical mistakes, sentences may need to be restructured to sound intelligent. The structure of the paper is fine and the paragraphs are all in the right places. I am native english speaker and use American english conventions. My coauthors are also fluent english speakers. The article will be provided in an MS Word file and is ready for copy editing. Ideally, the file would be returned with all of the needed corrections made in the paper within two days using track changes. Obviously, there will be some corrections that will go awry because it is unclear what is meant in the original text or because of the technical features that are unique to the economics discipline. The file will need to be returned in MS Word format by Ideally, I would get the file back in 48 hours. Attached is the abstract of the article that needs copyediting. This article is original scholarship and should not be shared with others or posted in other places. My coauthors and I will retain any and all copyrights to the article, as it is our intellectual property. Thus, we are looking for a good copy editor. Of course, everyone will say they are good, so evidence of expertise is required.

I registered with Freelancer in February this year and have 47 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 - and an article about me has recently been published https://www.freelancer.com/community/articles/57-year-old-discovers-a-lucrative-career-on-freelancer-com 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 14 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. I am used to using the Track Changes tool, and would also insert comments where necessary (such as when something is not clear). If you send me a message, I will be able to provide some samples of my work.

Hello. I am a college graduate with a major in Economics and I graduated top of my class;Summa Cum Laude. In addition to this, I am an excellent typist with a good eye for details and errors. With respect to your project, I can get it done in two days with little or no errors at all. Since it is an Economics paper, various terms that are specific to the subject area will not be alien to me and this will further guarantee the quality of the editing of the paper. I will gladly provide you with whatever evidence you require to verify my claims be it writing samples or essays. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks
