I'm an experienced proofreader / copy editor and have been working successfully on Freelancer for about three years. I'd be happy to edit several pages of your manuscript (at no cost) to see if you like my work. Are you able to provide the word count? Thanks.

I'm happy to proofread your comedy novel as I'm a professional English proofreader with extensive experience in linguistics and writing. I've helped a lot of clients polish and refine their manuscripts (fiction and non-fiction), business documents, books, novels, novellas, ebooks, short stories, blog posts, articles, presentations, etc. I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects but I may keep a copy of your document on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. The finished product will include two copies of the edited text—one that shows the changes (a copy with MS Word Track Changes on), and one that incorporates all of the changes made. These are some of the books I have edited: 'The Shoebox' by Tracy Ploch 'Hiding in the Shade' by Kathryn Wiseman 'The Opposite Effect' by Steve Claydon PS. I also hold a BA in English Language and Literature and currently teach IELTS (writing). Regards,

Hello!!! I charge $3 to proofread/edit 1000 words. I've gone through your description and feel I would be a good candidate to proofread/edit your work. You're most likely looking for someone to clean up the grammar, syntax and spelling of your document and I feel I am that person. With my help, the consistency of language you require will be assured. I'm a native English speaker with a vast amount of proofreading/editing experience. I plan to read your document at least 3 times as my experience has shown that to be the adequate number of times to reduce any mistakes to the barest minimum. I would like to discuss more about your project, feel free to reach out to me. Hopefully, I get a chance to show you my quality of work. Cheers!

Hello, I am a highly-skilled writer who has strong visual awareness, exemplary grammar and spelling knowledge, and the ability to analyze and modify. When it comes to missing links and correcting errors, look no further. Remember, your content could be a first impression. If you send out material that is riddled with misspellings, grammatical errors, and wrong information, you aren’t going to be presenting a good image of your business? Here is the summary what you have requested. Task: proof reading / minor editing Proposed Deadline: 3 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

A comedy novel?! How exciting! Congrats on finishing it. My name is Jackie, and I would absolutely love to proofread and edit it for you. I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills. I also have a keen eye and ear for characterization, voice, flow, sentence structure, story arc, and plot. My passion is well-polished, great writing -- Over the past year alone, I've edited more than twenty-five published works, including thirteen novels, as well as screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. I am currently a writer and associate editor with a publication in my city, and I have worked in the past as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. On average, I edit 2,300 words of text in one hour. I typically charge between $.01 and .025/word, depending on how intensive the editing need is. Since I don't yet know the exact word count of your novel or the level of editing required, my current bid is only an estimate. I'd be more than happy to edit a writing sample free of charge in order for you to determine whether I am a fit for your needs. I look forward to hearing from you!
