$30-250 CAD

Paid on delivery
JOB REQUIREMENTS: Proofread and edit a cookbook. The ebook is already written but it needs to be edited. It is a fun book and lots of work has already gone into researching the topic and experimenting with the recipes. Tasks: 1. Ensure that American English is used throughout the book. (I am a native English speaker but have lived in Canada & UK so sometimes I forget which terms or ingredients are the American ones.) 2. Ensure that American measurements are used throughout the book. 3. Re-write sections e.g. instructions so that all the recipes use the same terminology and the same format when providing instructions on how to make the recipe. (Note: a lot of editing has already been done but it still needs some fine-tuning by someone who knows cookbooks and how to cook.) 4. Ensure that the same "fun, helpful, friendly" tone/voice is kept throughout the book. MAXIMUM BUDGET: My maximum budget is $45. I will only consider bids $45 or lower. Please provide examples of work done in the past. FUTURE WORK: I have a lot of editing (and potentially writing) available so there is the opportunity to get more work if you're awarded the job. I expect to have the editing done within 1-2 days of awarding the job. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Hi there! I am a prolific blog writer for several websites. I would love to work on your cookbook because I did a similar project for my church in the 1990’s. All the members contributed family recipes, with commentary. I organized the book’s categories, edited each recipe for content and consistency and supervised the publishing in hardcover. The book is over 700 pages. It is not in digital format, nor still in print. I can take a few photographs and send them to you, but of course, it will be difficult for you to read actual content. I may have an extra one to send to you, but would need to add to bid cost. Let’s chat! Margaret Mobley

Hi, I'm Megan, an English native speaker with a bachelor's degree in writing as well as a certificate in editing and publishing. I'm interested in taking on the task of editing your cookbook for 45 CAD. I have excellent grammar, of course, and an eye for consistency, voice, and connection with the audience. I also enjoy cooking, so I know my way around American recipe books! Some of my recent work includes editing / re-writing a website that sells golf discount cards; I edited the script of an online course explaining business software; I also edited the main descriptions on each section of a fashion website, enticing shoppers to find their favorite fashions. If you choose me to edit your cookbook, I'll turn around an edited copy within 1-2 days; it will be proofread, checked for consistency and formatting, and tweaked to help maintain your pleasant tone. Please see my Freelancer portfolio for examples of my own writing. I look forward to hearing from you soon. -Megan

I am a trained chef, I know cooking terms. I just completed a food blog project on freelancer where I translated recipes from Danish to English and linear to metric for an American audience. I provided consistency and tips for 110 recipes – please review the feedback…I am trying to build my career here at freelancer but often outbid by more experienced freelancers - would appreciate the chance to show my stuff :)

Hello. My name is Daria. I have excellent English writing skills and able to stay in a time frame. Please consider me for this project. Thanks. Sample:Steve Jobs once vowed to destroy Google Android as it is a stolen product and said that he would not accept Google money if offered. His rage is completely understandable because according to financial statistics Google Android gets far ahead of iPhone in world sales. According to IDC the end of 2012 sales in smartphones demonstrate that 70.1% of buyers prefer Android products. And that is not surprising as Android wins in usability and price. Android has widgets, ability to change screen and keyboard, and an enormous number of applications for every taste. It is not surprising more people choose to purchase an Android product.

I can edit your cookbook and would love to work for you. I have an excellent understanding of the English language; the US English 3 test on this site placed me in the top 1%. I am very proficient at spotting errors and problematic areas within text. If you have any questions, feel free to message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you would like an example of my work, I can edit up to 500 words for you free of charge. Thanks for your consideration.

Hello. My name is Silviya and I am a native Bulgarian living in Italy. I speak perfect English as I have lived abroad through my whole life and my education has been entirely in English. I am a passionate cook and I am currently writing my own cookbook. I have done writing and rewriting jobs on freelance sites and also during my education. My latest job was to write travel articles for cities in Italy and Bulgaria. Since in my proposal I cannot attach a sample of my work, I cordially invite you to contact me if you decide I can work with you on your project and I will send you samples of my work. Thank you and have a great weekend. Best Regards, Silviya

I have written reviews on several cookbooks. Vegan Cookbook review "Vegan Cookbook” includes 72 great tastes and easy to make vegan recipes. It gives you step by step instructions for making healthy and delicious dishes you can enjoy at different times. Want to cook vegan but never cooked before? Not to worry! 101 Vegan Recipes for Beginners is the ideal starting point for a passionate vegan eater who wants to cook but not harm animals or eat animal products. Throw away the meat, eggs and milk and embrace rich, filling recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner that require minimal ingredients while still creating delicious flavors. The quick start guide to vegan cooking and amazing recipes will have even your non-vegan friends coming back for more! While working toward my master’s degree, I was employed as a manual writer for a small printer company. I increased my sales volume and profit margin appreciably while at Farmer’s Foods, and I would like to repeat that success in the NBC Corporation. I have a strong academic background in literature and marketing, and think that I could apply my combination of knowledge and experience to the technology industry. I will complete my master's degree in marketing in mid-May and will be available to begin employment in early next June.
