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 abstracts. Although my background is in law rather than science, I have studied basic biology and I believe that my previous experience with writing, drafting and editing professional documents of various types, and extensive and sophisticated grasp of the English language, render me a great candidate for the job. 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!

Hello, I think I can help you with your project. It looks like you have a lot of abstracts to process. I've been a professional copy editor/proofreader in the natural sciences for 24 years. Over that period, I've edited many thousands of documents, including abstracts, posters, etc. This is my full-time job. Most of my customers have been non-native English-speakers who needed help preparing their reports for publication in peer-reviewed scientific and medical journals. I usually do a lot of editing and rewriting. However, if all you want is for me to "identify missing italics", no editing, no spell-checking, no rewriting, no fixing punctuation, no changing the format or the style, etc., then I could help you, and 24 h would be enough time. To be clear, you would just want for me to highlight text that should be in italics, correct? No other changes would be required. Flagging typos would be optional. Two hundred of anything is a lot, and I don't think that 5 h is realistic: that's only 1.5 minutes per abstract. Honestly, I think the job could take more than 8 h, and that's reflected in my bid. Please contact me if you have any questions. Good luck. Jeff

Dear Employer, I'm a Cambridge CELTA certified English language trainer and a full-time content writer with rich and versatile experience. Identifying issues with written (or typewritten) text comes naturally to me as a language trainer. I’ll go over your material with a fine toothed comb and highlight the issues in your documents with my comments. However, I find an issue with your calculation of how many hours are required for this job. 200 texts with 2,000 characters per text, at an average of 5.25 characters per word add up to more than 76,000 words. According to you the job should take no more than 8 hours. That translates to a proofreading rate of more than 9500 words per hour (including adding comments). Perhaps I've misunderstood something in my calculation of the work volume, but 8 hours don't sound realistic for ensuring the kind of quality that I'd like to impart to the job. Kindly correct me or reconsider the hourly calculation and turn around time, and we can discuss more. Cheers!

Good Day. I am a medical professional (Doctor) and a freelance writer. I have read and understood the needs of your project. I understand that the names of pathogens or organism or any drugs could have been mistyped and a mistake of spelling or standard Nomenclature could remain in the Abstract. Also, as an Abstract is the first paragraph , the organism has to be introduced in full name rather than using abbreviations like M. Tuberculosis. I have relevant experience and I am a punctual freelancer. I understand the time constraints and will submit the work within one day. Looking forward to a positive response.
