Hello, the last message I sent you isn't in my message box so I think it was deleted by Freelancer for having my contact info. My new address is my name, (same as the old one but without the . between the names) and it's a ya hoo address. I just finished the project I was working on so I have the rest of the week free if you have work you would like to send me.

Ready to start. As F. Scott Fitzgerald puts it: "You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you've got something to say;" One word he omits in that is "always". I have been lucky enough to know how to always say something about nothing (sometimes) and make it sound like it's the most important thing since man's first moon landing! I have been freelancing for a while now, had a stint in print and online markets. Quality is underrated in the online world with the race to make everything Search Engine Optimizable (people cramming keywords into articles). However, my work always has that quality guaranteed stamp or I would not bother. I just wrote this passage so you can assess my language skills. I manage a team of writers so it’s a daily routine for me to proofread their work. I not only read the text from start to end but also backwards because some of the spelling mistakes which you miss out in first reading can be easily identified with this technique. While proofreading, I always read out loud. It helps me spot those areas which require my attention. I assure you there won’t be any grammar and sentence structure issues left in the text. I charge, $6/hour. Please check my portfolio on Freelancer – http://www.freelancer.com/u/uzmakazmi.html Do take a look on my reviews and see what other employers have to say about me and then browse to my portfolio to check out my articles on different subjects. Thanking you in anticipation. Regards Uzma

I can proofread and edit for you both quickly and accurately; I am currently beginning work as an editor for Toxic Magazine and have an excellent understanding of the English language as well as a precise attention to detail that allows me to spot errors and problem areas very efficiently. I also do enjoy this type of work, which I believe is an important quality, as I have no problem doing this for long periods of time if necessary. I operate with a professional attitude and would be more than happy to work for you. Thanks for your consideration.

Hello I am ready and more than able to do the job of proof reading and editing your short, straight forward book. I am a native English speaker living in South Africa. My education was completed under the UK system of education in the country of Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, so my standard of English is very high. You need have no concern about my ability to proof read US English, as all the work I have done so far as a freelancer has been in US English. All my work so far has been on Elance. My last job was to edit and proof read a business book about competitive intelligence, and the author expressed concern about whether I could work with US English. At the end of the job, he remarked in his review of my work about how well I had done and how his concern was completely unfounded. Please check my profile to see examples of my work in my portfolio. I can proof read and edit about 3000 words per hour and charge $10 per hour for my time. I read every single word of the manuscript given to me, which enables me to pick up the tiniest of errors. I also have a really good memory, honed through years of listening carefully to people in counselling sessions, and this helps me pick up on inconsistency errors in the writing. If you should hire me, you can be guaranteed of having a perfect manuscript handed back to you. Kind Regards Laura Atkinson

I am native English (British), living and working Hong Kong, with a wealth of experience in writing, proofreading and editing books, PhD theses, and miscellaneous commercial documents. I have retired after having worked for over 15 years at a university in Hong Kong. I am TEFL qualified, and also teach non-native speakers who are looking to improve their fluency in English. In proofreading/editing your document I will look for and correct any existing errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and English usage. I will reconstruct weak sentences and suggest alternative word choices, to improve the clarity and flow of the contents of your book. I am pleased to offer you my services for the project you have advertised.

"Ready" Hello! I would be happy to edit this short 9000 book. I am extremely detail oriented and proofread and edit my own work and the work of family and friends on a regular basis. I'm an native English speaker, born and raised in Ontario, Canada. American English is actually easier to write in most cases that the British-Influenced Canadian English. I set a time frame of 5 days just to be on the safe side, but I'm confident it would take me less time to complete the editing . Thank you for your consideration, DTitov

Hi Vanthrone, I would be glad to edit your book for you; I've handled several of these projects on this site successfully. Let me tell you a little about myself. My college degrees are in Journalism and Computer Science. I have worked as a Software Engineer and Technical Writer at NASA and in the energy and transportation sectors. Since 2008 I have been freelancing full-time and I founded my corporation, KSmith Media, LLC, to administer my four niche content websites. My responsibilities include writing, editing guest submissions, and Webmaster. I reside in Texas and am a native English speaker although I am also bilingual in Spanish. I believe my qualifications make me the strongest candidate for your project as outlined in your specifications and I appreciate your consideration. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact me. Regards, Kelly Smith KSmith Media, LLC
