As a proofreader and editor, I am experienced and knowledgeable, with an eye for details. I have the tenacity and predilection to proofread and edit books, magazines, websites, as well as publications aimed at special audience such as academic writing journals or business reports. With a PhD in English as well as years of experience in curriculum design and teaching writing at various levels, I am skilled and knowledgeable in all types of proofreading and editing tasks. When it comes to editing and proofreading, I make sure that: The text is free of errors like typos, misspellings, grammatical mistakes, and punctuation errors. The content is engaging and readable to the readers’ retina. Style and tone is correct. Everything in the text conforms to the acceptable editing standards. I will provide you with 2 MSWord files upon completion, first one with the highlighted proofread version( so that you can figure out the proofreading) and the second with the accepted changes version (the final document). You can fully count on me and I am looking forward to working with you. Thanks

I am an experienced writer and editor with over four years of experience professionally writing in several industries, although I have never delved into novel editing before. I'd be thrilled to have the opportunity, though. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Winthrop University in 2014. Also, I am an avid reader of many genres from fantasy and science fiction to historical fiction and coming-of-age novels. I can provide both proofreading and content edits as needed to improve your book's flow, consistency, accuracy, and voice. I would be willing to work with you to discuss any suggestions that you aren't sure about, so we can find a common solution. I hope to hear from you soon; please let me know if you have any questions for me. Thanks! Sam Knowlton

I am a professional, well-educated, bright, and experienced writer and editor with 5+ years of expertise and flawless English (I am a native speaker).

Looking forward to hearing from you, Katherine

Hallo, I hope you’ll consider hiring me to proofread/edit your novel – I’m an English Literature major and I’ve been teaching English as a Second Language for the past six years. I’m new on freelancer.com but I’ve done several proofreading/editing jobs before and had very positive feedback on my work. With this job, I'll try to correct any bad grammar or stylistically awkward passages in your book while preserving your voice and authorial vision. Turnaround for the project would be 10 days and I’m happy to work within the budget you’ve proposed. Just contact me through the website if you have any further questions or comments - Warm regards, Dan
