I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 76 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 and have just begun as the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, another online journal. 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 was published by Freelancer. Other recent work has included proofreading a number of theses on a variety of subjects, 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 17 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 four years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own.

The best proofreader one could wish for!" “Quick turnaround; very thorough review; her comments were helpful and thoughtful and made my document a better story.

I am an avid reader who loves words. I believe the type of writing that promotes success in a stand-alone novel and in a series are different, and believe I have the skill set you are looking for to make your series excel. I do not freelance full time I do this because I love it and believe that means I bring a seriousness to my projects and will never slack off. I would love to work with budding authors and would relish the chance to be involved with your artist endeavour. Cheers Bella

As an editor with 37 years of experience, I have sharpened to a high degree my ability to find the most scintillating words to make anyone's writing stand out above the rest. Imagery, imaginative phrasing, and creative insights are my hallmark for helping writers rise to the top. I have just completed editing four books -- a children's book, a self-help book, an illustrated handbook aimed at the entrepreneurial crowd, and a book on spirituality. I have a gift for making dialogue resonate with readers, and my keen eye for accurate characterization is highly developed. I would love to help you with your project. Talk to you soon!

Hi, my name is Georgia and I'd love to assist with your project. As a bit of background about me, I'm a recent graduate of the University of Queensland, ranked in the top 30 universities worldwide, where I completed my Bachelor's degree in Law/Arts, with first class honours. I've previously worked as a research clerk/paralegal with an immigration law firm in Brisbane, as well as managing my own highly successful online retail business, instaLens. As such, I have spent the past six years writing, drafting and editing essays, proposals, research papers and legal documents in an academic and professional context, with meticulous attention to content, style, grammatical accuracy and flow. I've read over your project description and would be happy to assist with proofreading your document. As I have previous experience with writing, drafting and editing professional documents, and an extensive and sophisticated grasp of the English language, I think I would be a great candidate for the job. As I am brand new to Freelancer, I would be happy to assist at a small cost in order to build my reputation. I am currently taking some time off work to travel, so have a very flexible schedule and workload at present and could complete this project quickly. Thanks for your consideration, and good luck!

Hi there. I see that you're looking for someone to edit your novel and I can certainly do that for you. Not only do I have professional experience in editing, but I too write fiction in my free time and happen to be in the process of writing a novel myself. I have taken and excelled creative writing courses at my university which showcases my knowledge of the field. I occasionally engage in peer-reviews so this will be familiar to me. I take the craft of creative fiction very seriously and it would be great to be able to help a fellow writer. My attentiveness to detail and knack for the English language will be useful in checking the grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation within your text. I can also critique the content of your story if you like. Feel free to contact me at any time if you would like to discuss further details. Thank you!

I am beyond dedicated! I pride myself in starting and completing tasks. If i had to choose a motto it would be " If a task once begun, never leave until it's done. Be the labor great or small, do it well or not at all." I'm enjoy reading, but haven't read a good book in a very long time. This may be the story I've been looking for.
