$250-750 USD

Paid on delivery
I have a book of about 45,000 words that has already been typeset and proofread. However, it requires one final read-through to make sure no mistakes, typos, etc. have been overlooked. The subject is Archaeology and the Bible, though no real knowledge of the topic is required for the job. I'm only interested in working with native English speakers. I have uploaded on page, as a sample.

Hi there, Yes, hiring a freelance editor working offshore can be a bit challenging but if you take a look at my profile you'll see why you should choose my bid proposal over dozens of other possible alternatives. First off I hold a BA in English Language and Literature and currently teach TOEFL at the American University in Cairo. I'm also a professional English proofreader with extensive experience in linguistics and writing. Over the years I've helped a lot of first-time writers and aspiring authors polish and refine their manuscripts (fiction and non-fiction), books, novels, novellas, memoirs, short stories, blogs, articles, etc. Besides ensuring a document is error free, I usually, if not always, opt to restructure or recast sentences for clarity and coherence, i.e. transitions between ideas. I also do some moderate and/or substantial editing, where necessary, to promote understanding, create parallelism and avoid awkwardness and ambiguity. Finally, I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects but I may keep a copy of your document on file for a period of 48 hours (IF further editing is needed). The finished product will include two copies of the edited text—one that shows the changes (a copy with MS Word Track Changes on), and one that incorporates all of the changes made. Now if you want a copy editor who can ensure accuracy and consistency in how your material is presented, you know where to find one.

Believe it or not, as a writer I take pride in my editing and proofreading skills—all the way to the point where I actually truly enjoy doing it. So, when you give me a task that involves editing, rewriting, or proofreading, I can guarantee that I will take it very seriously, leaving no traces of mistakes behind. Being that I have been writing professionally for years, I have also edited/proofread, or otherwise rewritten my fair share of documents, and I do not accept anything but perfection in my texts. I can track changes and send a separate clean file, as well as work with your comments and suggestions until the document is where we need it to be. Regards, Max Finley.
