Hi! I have gone through your project details on this book. What is it about? Unfortunately, we are not allowed to communicate outside this platform. You can knock me via the chat box and we can discuss the scope of the work. I'm detail oriented and eagle eyed, especially when it comes to proofreading for spelling, grammar, and punctuation using either American or British standards. I love helping writers to hone their work and elevate it to its highest potential. I will suggest changes to improve the clarity and flow of your text, but I work with a light hand to leave your distinctive voice and tone untouched. I treat all text with utmost respect for copyright and confidentiality. I work in Microsoft Word, and unless you request otherwise, I track changes. I am your best bet. To see some of my sample work, please knock!

Are you looking for an experienced, reliable and approachable native English proofreader/editor for your academic or business document? I work in both British/World and US English, particularly with non-native English speakers worldwide. Rewriting is another strong part of my experience. I'm a professional editor and a published author. I've been trained in this field and have worked for magazines and publishing houses. You will be hiring a true professional. Plus, I sincerely love what I do! I am happy to simply proofread (catch errors), but I also enjoy in-depth editing, which involves improving readability, offering suggestions and restructuring when necessary. If your project needs careful fact-checking and an eagle eye for eliminating typos and correcting spelling and grammatical errors, I would be happy to help. Kind Regards, Anthony Gorman

E-Books are no different from any other type of book except in their medium of publication, so the most important first step to writing one is to decide on, and develop, an idea for one. I believe in excellence. Writing isn't about just putting words on paper, it's about expressing ideas. I am able to write creative e-books, short stories, articles, novels & non-fiction manuscripts. When I write, I strive for clarity, simplicity, and something that will stir the reader to action. Any subject, no matter how dull it seems, has something in it that can excite; otherwise, it would die from apathy. I want to find that thing which excites and express it to others. I won't say that I can't write about other areas, because I can. I have written a fair amount about business & academic needs as well. Feel free to knock me to move forward with your project. Regards, Javier Hernandez

Hello! I have been writing, proofreading and editing for 30+ years. I am good at it. It is second nature to me. My job is to make sure your copy captures your reader's attention and to ensure that it is perfectly executed. I have a passion for figuring out how to write content for topics ranging from technical, non-fiction to fiction, of any genre. I enjoy being creative with all my content writing and editing. My job is to make sure your copy captures your reader that it is spelled correctly, and all letters and punctuation are in their respective place. I write and edit, not to change the “tone or voice”, but merely strengthen the message being delivered. Thanks for taking a peek at my profile. Don't forget to look at my service description, customer feedback and portfolio! If you're looking for a person who can provide high-quality content, and is flexible and quick to learn, I could be just the right person! What my clients are saying: Sincerely, Faye
