It was my job for many years and all I have done by becoming an editor is exchange like for like in so many ways.

Hello, I would be happy to copy edit and line edit your book. How many terms do you need indexed, and how detailed do you want the index to be? My services include correcting the grammar, spelling, punctuation, typographical errors, sentence structure, and removing unnecessary repetition. I ensure any abbreviations or acronyms are used consistently and correctly, and that the tone of your book is consistent. I fix sentences that are too long, hard to understand, or awkward. My goal is to ensure that your book is well-written, easy to read, and presents your work in a very positive professional manner. Let me introduce myself. I’m a professional editor and proofreader with 36 years of experience, which includes working on thesis papers at the PhD level, peer-reviewed journal articles, and fiction and non-fiction books including textbooks. My Bachelor's degree is in English. I use Microsoft Word with the Track Changes feature turned on. I offer you excellent quality work. Here at Freelancer.com my work has earned a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 203 employers, as shown at https://www.freelancer.com/u/jw010699.html. My clients' comments include, “I'm impressed. You have done a great job, and I am very grateful for that. Thank you, Julie,” "Julie, as always thank you a lot for your attentive editing!” and “Julie does excellent and professional work.” I would enjoy copy editing, line editing and indexing your book and hope to hear from you soon. Best regards, Julie Webb

Hello, I consider myself a skilled writer that strives to make the customer happy and completely satisfied. Since I have excellent grammar and spelling capabilities, I am able to determine the concept that is trying to be shared by the customer. I then turn around and correct missing links or other errors and produce refreshed content that is plagiarism-free. No online rewriting tool is needed in this case. It is important to remember that the content of your business plan – not just the appearance – could be the first impression a prospective client may get. If the prospective customer receives a document that is full of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and inaccurate information it can give a poor impression of the presenting business. It would be my pleasure to help you get your content in optimal shape. Regards

Editing involves looking at each sentence carefully and making sure that it’s well designed and serves its purpose. Proofreading is the final stage of the writing process. My range of editing experiences and educational background have helped me develop a thorough knowledge of the literary craft and English mechanics, and I want to put them to good use on your project. Proofreading involves checking for grammatical and punctuation errors, spelling mistakes, etc. Editing and proofing both focus on the sentence level. Editing is different from proofreading because it involves questioning and analyzing sentences, whereas proofreading only involves checking them for error. Please feel free to reach out with questions or inquiries. I look forward to working with you on your writing projects! Best Regards,
