I am interested in your project and may be the right person for it but would like to see your manuscript and know more about your expectations. I am an experienced proofreader / copy editor and I have written children's stories myself, I've attended a course in writing for children and I belonged to a children's writing group for six years - where I eventually found I was better as an editor than a writer. I have been working on the Freelancer platform for about three years, always with good reviews.

Hello, I am a highly-skilled writer who has strong visual awareness, exemplary grammar and spelling knowledge, and the ability to analyze and modify. When it comes to missing links and correcting errors, look no further. Remember, your content could be a first impression. If you send out material that is riddled with misspellings, grammatical errors, and wrong information, you aren’t going to be presenting a good image of your business? Here is the summary what you have requested. Task: Experienced Children's Book Editor/Proofreader Short Summary: Edit and proofread the children book around 34 pages Proposed Deadline: 7 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

This is an exciting project for me as an editor and writer. I shadow teach children with special learning needs as well so I have a grasp of how it is to see the world not only in a child's eyes, but in the different and wonderful ways that nature and real life situations can provide teachable moments to children. I could go and ask you to check my ratings and reviews on my personal profile but it would be immaterial as i feel one should have that innate connection with the world of a child and a love for teaching to learn. I have a great grasp of English and an ability to perceive how a child would picture a scenario. Perhaps this would be an advantage to cutting edge writing and editing portfolios. I love injecting humor when teaching kids to understand about school subjects such as making them see how vertebrates and invertebrates differ by swapping them ( Imagine if the octopus had a spine and how can a meerkat peep above the tall grass without its backbone--- with matching "I like to move it, move it" comedy singing ). I also take to heart making children understand more about kids with special needs, inculcating values without being preachy. I do hope you consider as this sounds like a very noteworthy project! All the best, Joyce

I completely transform academic articles. You need your paper to be publication-ready on short notice; you have a rough draft, or maybe you're a non-native English speaker confident in your work, but not in your writing. Let me take it from here. I'll do a line-by-line edit, re-writing phrases and re-organizing sentences and paragraphs as needed. I won't change the meaning of your text; in fact, I'll ensure terminological, conceptual, and technical consistency and correctness throughout the whole document. When I'm done, your paper will be the best possible version of itself: your words, your ideas, and your findings, expressed with the utmost clarity, precision, and professionalism. Let me give you a hand. Please feel free to knock me for further discussion about your project. Best Regards, Anthony

As a writer, proofreading and editing are must-have skills without which survival becomes very difficult in the competitive world we live. I find myself blessed with these skills and proudly state that my success in writing is owing to these two amazing skills. I firmly believe I have a good grip on grammar, punctuation, and sentence construction to catch mistakes and errors in one good read. Hence, I think I am suitable for any job pertaining to proofreading or editing a copy written by someone else. I will be waiting for your reply. Thanks

Hello, I am a published author with a particular interest in children's literature. I was a teacher for many years and I know what appeals to young children. Here is an example of my work: Dave's Magic Belt Would you like to have a magic power? One that lasts for just one hour? One like Dave my older brother Who has a belt that's like no other? For when it's noon upon his watch He moves his buckle just one notch. Then faster than you ever saw - You cannot see him any more I think that it is really cool That Dave can be in-vis-i-ble. Between the hours of twelve and one That's when he has the best of fun. He saves a goal for the weakest team And licks the top of The Head's ice-cream.
