Hi, my name is Georgia and I'd love to assist with your project. As a bit of background, 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 document. As I have previous experience with writing, drafting and editing professional documents, and an extensive and sophisticated grasp of the English language, I think I would be a great candidate for the job. As I am brand new to Freelancer, I would be happy to assist at a small cost in order to build my reputation. 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!

Hi, I am a native English speaker with a bachelor's degree in English from a top-40 American university. I have been a freelance editor and designer since 1998 and have managed countless projects ranging from business cards and menu layouts to dissertations and 100,000-word manuscripts. My experience includes low-level proofreading support for structure only, which consists of grammar, spelling, punctuation checks, and/or the "final read-through" before publication. I also offer high-level, full-service copyediting for content and structure, which includes spotting plot holes, duplicated text and situations, character development inconsistencies, shifting tenses, along with checking for grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes. In addition to full-length manuscripts and dissertations, I have editing experience with legal documents, judicial appointment applications, menus, websites, articles, and college admissions essays. I am also a professional graphic designer with 14+ years of design experience with a Fortune 400 pharmaceutical company. From a design perspective, I have experience in formatting pharmaceutical inserts and catalogs, along with design and production artwork experience in anything from primary packaging containers to marketing collateral.
