Hello, I'll be happy to proofread your short story. If you send it to me now, I can proofread it today. What is your story about? Let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Webb, and I’m a professional editor and proofreader with 36 years of experience, which includes editing fiction books and stories, non-fiction books, textbooks,and academic papers in a variety of subjects. English is my native language and my Bachelor's degree is in English. I work in American, British and Canadian English. My work is careful and thorough, and I have finished 100% of my jobs. My proofreading services include checking and correcting the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and sentence structure. Unlike some “proofreaders,” I will not run your text through a software program, accept all the changes, and send it back to you. I will read your manuscript myself, carefully, and make changes manually. My work at Freelancer.com has earned five-star ratings from my clients, as you can see at https://www.freelancer.com/u/jw010699.html. I also work at Upwork dot com, where my work has earned a 96% Job Success Score and the Top Rated award. My Upwork Profile page is at [login to view URL]~0143faf7dec1349591?viewMode=1. My latest job, proofreading textbooks for a publishing company, is finished and I'm available to proofread your short story now. I hope to hear from you soon. Julie Webb jw010699 on Freelancer.com

Hi, I'm Rohan and I'm ideally suited to edit your article. I am an extremely skilled and proficient editor and proof reader, with a bachelors degree in Literature. I’ve spent the past four years of my life working for various organizations, newspapers and journals in this capacity. Furthermore, I've gone through your attachment and it would just take me a FEW HOURS to complete this task. My services include: Editing in any style UK/ US. I make sure that there are no grammatical or spelling errors. I work on the sentence structure and word usage. Make sure there is language consistence Correct 'technical' errors Run a fact check for anything verifiable online As per industry standards I use 'TrackChanges' in MSWord so you have the option to verify all the changes made. I also offer a running commentary in separate comment bubbles, explaining the 'heavier' edits. (OPTIONAL) And anything else that may come up.

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
