€8-20 EUR

Paid on delivery
I am writing an article about my experience of an exchange semester in France for my professor at University. It is about 20.850 words, and my sentence structure, grammar, punctuation etc. need to be improved. I do not want to correct only the orthography but also sentences and paragraphs need to be rewritten in order to be logic. My native language is german, that is why it might be badly translated into english. Please be able to fix that without changing my sense. Sometimes I am using to often the same words, please use synonyms.

I note that your article is 4,722 words. The number in your project description seems to be the number of characters. I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 53 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. I have ongoing freelance work editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer. Other recent work has included proofreading six theses on a variety of subjects, as well as individual chapters of academic writing. For two years I was a copy editor for Elsevier Science Publishers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, rewriting text by authors who were not native English speakers. I have worked with individual clients to bring 15 books to publication and three of these clients have rehired me to work on a second book. Having been a teacher of English in high school for several years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own. I would use the Track Changes tool for your document, inserting comments where necessary.

I'd be happy to work on editing your paper on your experience of France. I've edited the conclusion below so you can get a sense of how I would do things and if I'm the right person for your project. I am from the US, so my wording/spelling will be based on my knowledge. I can edit with track changes if you prefer so you can accept only what you like. Let me know if you would like to move forward or have any questions/comments. Thank you! By the way, I'm glad you liked the US! In conclusion, though it may seem that I had a very negative experience and have been very critical, it was awesome. I enjoyed going abroad and getting to know people. For me, there is no such thing as a bad or good experience; all experiences are just different. I wouldn't love to live in France forever because I didn’t feel at home and I missed the warm hearts of people which I felt elsewhere, like in the US, but I wouldn't say it is a bad place either.

Hello. I've been an English teacher for nine year and I've been working part-time, too, as a translator, transcriber and private tutor, articles re-writer and typist. I love reading and finding new things about everything, so I consider myself fit for this job. I'm also currently writing my First Degree Dissertation Paper for English Teaching which makes me looking for all kinds of materials, so mixing and changing the words, playing with words, so to say, is a usual daily activity for me. Due to my long experience and passion for reading, I can improve any piece of writing to perfection. Thank you for this job opportunity. I hope to hear from you soon.

I am an Australian born native English speaker, with perfect punctuation, impeccable grammar, and exceptional knowledge and understanding of the English language.I am an individual freelancer, and not an agency. My work is 100% my own. Because of this, the experience of hiring and working with me will be extremely professional yet personal, as you will always know who you are talking to. I work full time as a proofreader and editor, so you know my work will be extremely professional and of a high calibre. I use CopyScape, and can use TurnItIn if required. You can find examples of my work on my profile, including editing and proofreading of novels and letters/CVs, and copywriting (including SEO articles, reviews, and product descriptions). I use the "track changes" feature while editing in Word/Pages. I have scored over 80% in US English level 3 and UK English level 1, and 90% in Academic Writing, which are all well above the average score. I also work as an academic writer, specialising in cover letters, university Statement Of Purpose letters, and resumes/CVs. I have also edited research studies and academic peer-reviewed journals. I have a very fast turn around, being able to edit between 1500-2000 words per hour depending on the quality and style of writing. Being a native English speaker from a Western country gives my clients piece of mind, knowing that I truly can comprehend and understand all the content and their instructions.

I am a native English speaker and have experience editing academic papers in English which were written by non-native English speakers, as well as experience editing textbooks for college English courses. I am a quick reader and have a great eye for detail and proofreading. I also respond to email and other messages quickly, in case you have any questions about the finished product, and if you like, could contact you if I have any questions about your meaning of phrases which have unclear meaning in English, so as to clarify them without changing your intended meaning.

Hi, I'd love to show you some of my rewriting work as well as editing. I think I'd be able to help you out. I believe I am the right candidate for your project as I have over six years of experience in writing and editing. As an undergraduate of Management and IT at an American university, I am equipped with the right knowledge to tackle various academic papers, while offering your project the set of English skills only a native speaker would posses: the culture of English-writing and well structured paragraphs. Here's my past work experience, outside freelancer alone: -Editor and writer of university newspaper "The Mirror" (two years) -English assistant, with focus on editing academic papers and validating the research behind them (three years) -Cross-cultural communication mediator between an organization and non-English clients and partners (one year) My most valuable asset is the individual care I bring to all of my projects. I do not own a team of writers, nor redirect my work to cheaper labor. My clients may expect quality while respecting their requirements and deadlines, and that can also be seen from the perfect feedback received. I look forward to discussing the project with you, and hope to convince you that I am indeed the right freelancer for your project needs. Sincerely, Shpat Ibrani
