Posted almost 9 years ago

$10-30 USD

Paid on delivery
Require someone proficient in English to go through a guide we have written on investments. It is relatively short and takes about 15-20 minutes to read through. We have proofread it a few times ourselves and while it is free from errors, we are looking for someone who will be able to word things better in some areas and say things in a more effective way. Anticipate that it will take 1-2 hours at most. Thanks in advance.

Hello. My name is Philip Brett Batson (known as Brett), and I provide a friendly, affordable and professional proofreading service, specialising in the area of General Science, IT, Technology, Business and Sport. I have many years of experience in these topic areas gained by working in private industry or through extracurricular activities, and would be very pleased to proofread your guide for you. I can deliver value by providing that final quality check and peace of mind that you need prior to publishing your work. I pride myself on always being able to deliver quality work, on time, and to budget, whilst also providing a fast turnaround if required. I abide by the code of conduct of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders, so that you can be assured of a professional service at all times. Here is some feedback from a recent client: "..attention to detail to his prompt communication resulted in a significant leap in quality... Brett covered a number of different aspects, including grammatical errors, design irregularities, and suggesting possible areas for improvement... I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a speedy, yet highly professional service". If your text is in Microsoft Word format, then I would normally offer to markup the document using Track Changes and comments as well as providing a second 'clean' copy which would have all changes applied. Best regards, Brett

As F. Scott Fitzgerald puts it: "You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you've got something to say;" One word he omits in that is "always". I have been lucky enough to know how to always say something about nothing (sometimes) and make it sound like it's the most important thing since man's first moon landing! I have been freelancing for a while now, had a stint in print and online markets. Quality is underrated in the online world with the race to make everything Search Engine Optimizable (people cramming keywords into articles). However, my work always has that quality guaranteed stamp or I would not bother. I just wrote this passage so you can assess my language skills. I manage a team of writers so it’s a daily routine for me to proofread & edit their work. I not only read the text from start to end but also backwards because some of the spelling mistakes which you miss out in first reading can be easily identified with this technique. I assure you there won’t be any grammar and sentence structure issues left in the text. I charge, $12/hour. Please check my portfolio on Freelancer – http://www.freelancer.com/u/uzmakazmi.html Do take a look on my reviews and see what other employers have to say about me and then browse to my portfolio to check out my articles on different subjects. Thanking you in anticipation. Regards Uzma

Hi As I understand, you need an editor who has the ability to proofread your guide. I'm interested to get the job as I’m an experienced editor. I’ve been working in editing line for more than 20 years. I took graduation and master degree on Journalism and M Phil on English Studies. So I know it very well how to edit and improve a write-up. At Freelancer, I’ve also completed several editing, proofreading and rewriting projects. You can see samples of my editing works in my portfolio. At present I’m attached with FAZA Editing House. You can visit the website and see samples of different categories of books I've edited. If I take up the job, it is my commitment to deliver the work on time. I hope you will find me suitable for your work. I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks SM Saifuddin

I would be pleased to read through your guide on investments. I would hope to receive it as a Word document and would read on screen and insert edits and word/phrase changes as appropriate. I would be looking at your document with a "fresh pair of eyes", so would expect to be able to make a few useful suggestions. My background is originally in Science (PhD and BSc) and I have been involved in writing, proofreading and editing technical articles as well as more general articles for many years now. I have an excellent command of the English Language and an "eye for detail". Please contact me if I can provide additional information or if you would like to discuss the project further.

Howdy! I am the lead editor for Montag Press Collective. I have edited over twelve full-length novels, specializing in historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. I have a strong stomach for controversial content, yet also a taste for the finer points of literature. I am currently between projects and looking to try something different. One unique thing about the way I work is that I have a computer program that reads aloud to me. Listening to the text while I work allows me to catch many things that other editors might miss. I can easily catch and correct words that look alike, but have one letter difference. I’ll also put the ç in your façade and the é in your fiancé/fiancée. Please let me know if you have any questions for me! Due to ongoing (flexible) commitments with Montag Press, I will be logging in to check messages once a day and I will get back to you if I’m not currently online. Mara Hodges, Books Worth Burning
