Please disregard the previous amount of my bid, as the bidding process doesn't allow a bid lower than the amount stated for the project. My actual bid is USD180. I registered with Freelancer in February this year and have 26 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. My ongoing freelance work includes editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was so satisfied with my work that he has commended me to Freelancer. Other recent work has included proofreading two complete theses 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 12 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 several 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. I bake bread myself, several times a week, adding all sorts of things to it when I'm inclined, so I would be interested in more possibilities. I use a bread tin and my hands, i.e. no bread-making machine.

I am a skilled and experienced proofreader and editor. I always deliver a quality product meeting all project requirements. I have proofread and edited a wide variety of documents including: 176 non-fiction books (including several cookbooks with recipes), 134 e-books, 23 novels, theses, dissertations, numerous academic articles and reports, business documents, web content, legal documents and others. I look forward to hearing from you. My standard cost for proofreading is $4.00 per 1,000 words. A double spaced book has an average of 250 words per page so there are probably around 50,000 words at a cost of $4.00 per 1,000 words would be $200.00 (plus the Freelancers fee).

Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service for several years My bid is based on an estimated 50,000 words. If your text is shorter, I can reduce my fee for you. Please get in touch to discuss. I have put in a fairly low bid in order to be competitive on Freelancer, but please don't wonder if this will affect the quality of the work. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done to a high standard by your deadline or sooner.

I am an English teacher, with a Master of Applied Linguistics. I am highly skilled in the areas of English spelling and grammar, and as a native speaker, will be able to ensure fluency of expression and accurate use of vocabulary throughout your work. I am also quite interested in food and cooking, so I believe I will be well-suited to edit your book on breadmaking. I will use the 'track changes' feature in MS Word during my edit, and will have the work back to you in a few days. I am happy to charge $1 per page of editing, making the total for your book around $200. Please consider me for this project and you will not be disappointed.

To whom it may concern: I'm a native US writer, editor and proofreader. I've worked as an editor for newspapers and publications in New York City. I can certainly edit your paper for whatever you desire - grammar, punctuation, structure, etc. Let me know if you'd like to see a sample with tracked changes of my editing style. Coincidentally, I have dabbled in the art of baking bread myself. Admittedly, I am not the best. However, I'm familiar with the terminology and wording of break baking recipes, which I believe makes me a strong candidate for this job. My blind price quote would be about $400. Let me know if you can work at all with that range. Best, Hannah

Hi, Why me ? Sold my grain mill a few years ago, ran it successfully for ten years. We baked bread every day for testing purposes, continuously involved in developing "new" recipes - either for promotional purposes or on request from our clients. Therefore whether it was bread flour, or the fine wheat flower (called cake flour in our country) -, bran, pollard or even corn flour we have been there. I am sure from a practical view we have the necessary background. Not only to proofread but also perhaps to suggest additions or variations. Quote: US $ 815.00 excluding the Freelancer commission. Milestone payments can be agreed upon and payment regulated via Freelancer. Three days is not enough if you want to do it properly. Thirty days, maybe be excessive but I will be more comfortable with adequate time to closely examine your manuscript. To produce a 200 page book requires a lot of time and guts. My suggestion is to deal with a chapter at a time and in this way work through the manuscript in close consultation with you. I am available on e mail and Skype. Bought some equipment in the USA - Portland area and attended the Millers conference in Fort Worth, I think in 2002. Please contact me if you need more info.

Hello! How are you? My name is Chirag and it's a pleasure for me to be bidding for you. :) ~ To begin with, I am a student of Automotive Engineering, with a panache for writing. I am here on this site to broaden my horizons and learn new things in the process. Having studied English as a language and a subject for 12 years, I have become quite proficient in it and it has enabled me to be a quick and precise reader. I really hope you will consider my bid. I understand that I am new here, but I'd like to assure you that I will work with utmost concentration and through mutual communication, deliver you the results. Disregarding the budget, it will take me less than a week to proofread the manuscript. :) As for the price, it's around 200 USD, which can be negotiated further. Plus, I love food! So this project is in a way perfect for me. Hope to hear from you, mate. Thank you and have a good day. :)

50,000 dollars would be nice, but in the event that that is too much for you I would settle for 100 and would be able to deliver within 48 hours. Although I'm in the Netherlands I am, in fact, a native English speaker (from England). I'm working as a part time English teacher so I'm quite used to finding those little mistakes that people tend to gloss over. I've also had a lot of experience proofreading and have a lot of interest in baking. Hopefully I will be able to help you on this. I hope to hear back from you soon. Cheerio!
