For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Check your novella for US spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity where necessary - Assist with plot structure, characterization and originality - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job.

Hi there, I would very much like to be considered for your project. I have worked with many clients over the years, and although I have only been a member on this site since February 2016, I have worked on similar freelance sites and also for many private clients during my career. I work with track changes in MS Word, which enables my clients to see the areas where I make changes or provide recommendations etc. I have worked with well-known published authors such as Robert G. Allen, but also with debut writers. I undertake each project personally and can assure you of a professional result. Despite being from the UK, I have extensive experience within the US market, and am conversant with American spellings. I very much look forward to working with you. Best regards Stephanie

Hello, What’s the subject matter of your novel? I'd be happy to provide you editorial assistance, 10-14 weekdays (Monday-Friday). I'm an experienced, professionally trained, full-time freelance editor. I've edited, proofread, and formatted written documents, such as books, e-books, journal articles, magazine articles, manuals, PowerPoint slides, web content, as well as university-approved master's and doctoral dissertations varying in length and subject matter while adhering to the required style guide. I provide the necessary recommendations and amendments using the MS Word comment tool and track changes feature, or apply standard proofreading marks when working on files in PDF format. I hope to know more about your project. If you’d have questions or concerns regarding my proposal, just send me an e-mail and I’ll respond shortly. Thank you for taking the time to review my proposal and profile. For now I wish you a blessed day ahead. Sincerely, Al

Welcome! I've checked your description very carefully, and I believe I would be just the right candidate for proofreading/editing your book. Why? Because I have 7+ years of professional academic proofreading/editing experience, and also because I have a keen eye for small errors that others might not spot right away. Is this all? Nope. My previous employers (now my brothers in arms) have consistently characterized me as an intuitive, reliable, decisive and immensely flexible personality. BUT do not take my word for it. Check their feedbacks for yourself. Also, please check my PORTFOLIO for sample items to help guide you my way. I promise you this: You will need NOT go anywhere else for editing and proofreading ever again after trying me out. Interested? Let's talk. I do not bite! ?

Hi, I'd like to edit your novella. What's it about? Does it just need copyediting? I am a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience outside of this site - writing, editing, teaching creative writing and doing manuscript consultations. Please see my reviews and portfolio on the site. Thank you.

Writing is an art. Besides a clear command of all aspects of the language, my impeccable writing is largely fuelled by an insatiable passion and love for the written word. I think this is what gives me an edge over many other writers, who might be at the same level with me, or with an even better grasp of the English language. I am a self driven writer, with a knack for comprehensive research on any subject that I write on. I also have an innate ability to borrow ideas from different sources and owning them, by polishing and making them original. I can write on a wide scope of subjects, according to the instructions and requirements of the task at hand. At the moment I am searching for writing work. with my smooth command of the language, throw into the mix, my passion and self drive, and right here, you have the ultimate choice of the writer you have been looking for. I AM AS GOOD AS THEY COME AND WILL NEVER DISAPPOINT. Regards Sana

Hi, I'm an avid reader and editing comes naturally to me. I love reading fiction: sci-fi, fantasy, historical, western, you-name-it....I love it! That's probably why I'm good at it. 43,000 words is manageable in 5 days. If you need it done quicker, please let me know and I'll see what I can do. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best regards, -Sooraj.

Hi, Thank you for reviewing my bid. I am looking forward to working for you. Firstly, may I ask for a bit more information about your novella and budget? This will help me better understand your project. About Me: I am a native English speaker, from Melbourne, with freelancer qualifications in English Aust, US and Uk. I worked for a software company managing their website content and SEO. In addition, I have written product advertisements and articles on freelancer & other websites (articles, content, & SEO). I am happy to send you copies of the project briefs and the results for you to review. I just finished proof reading a 200 page ebook and the freelancer employer gave me a five star review for my work. A word about my terms : I have learnt the hard way to insist on milestone payments and I must insist we communicate over freelancer chat to ensure we comply with freelancer's terms and conditions. I see you are not prepaid. I require you to prepay the first milestone amount in escrow held by freelancer. I am looking forward to working for your business. Kind regards, Rachael

Hi, Writing, Proofreading, and Editing are three of my favorite things. I am a perfectionist who will strive to give you the best of my time and talents. Working to produce a perfect, final copy of an article or manuscript is what I enjoy doing and what I excel at. I have extensive experience in academic, report, and blog writing. I have written and published a master's level thesis and have experience in writing and planning academic lessons/modules. I have worked as a tutor in writing and grammar. My work as a university level professor allowed me to develop my skills in reading for content and context. My experience also extends to fiction/non-fiction pieces. I have worked with popular romance, mystery, and self-help authors as a beta reader and a reviewer. I quite enjoy reading a great story and being able to lend my proofreading skills to make that story even better and ready to be published. Thanks
