I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 53 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. I have assumed that you are seeking editing work only for your manuscript. 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 six 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 15 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.

Dear Prospective Employer, I am a highly qualified copy editor with considerable experience of working with non-fiction books, as well as novels. I have a strong academic background (PhD from Cambridge in Modern History) and bring a high level of intellectual rigour and integrity to all my assignments. Although my scholarly background is on the arts side, I have business experience myself (including two years as a Management Consultant in London), and have taught Business Studies, as well as History at schools. I am very well read in the area of business and self improvement, and have recently worked towards the Wharton MBA on the Coursera Platform. I am fully familiar with American spelling and style protocols. I would be delighted to hear from you with any questions, and to learn more about the scope of the project. I have warm five star endorsements from all 17 of my past assignments on this platform, although most of my work is now based on recommendations from outside. Unlike almost all of my serious online competitors, I never subcontract. Best wishes, Dr Alexander Craig

My name is Kelly Cozy, and I would like to put two decades of editorial expertise to work for your book. Over the years, I have worked with both independent authors and large corporations, with both consumer-facing and business-to-business communications. This will help me edit your book so that it successfully conveys its message to your target audience. All edits will be to Chicago Manual of Style standards (however, I can also edit to APA, AMA, MLA, and AP styles). I will make my edits using Word's track changes function, thus allowing you to accept or reject changes at your discretion. You can rely on me to combine a keen eye for editorial details with timeliness and good turnaround time. I look forward to working with you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to know more about my qualifications. Thank you, Kelly Cozy
