Hello, I have studied in the United States for the past 9 years and as you know we are required to do a lot of proofreading as well as editing a lot of projects. You will have peace of mind if you let me proofread and edit your projects. I am fairly new to this website and don't have too many reviews but the few I have done I have done it with efficiency and within the time frame given to me. Thank you so much for your consideration. . Looking forward to your response.

I registered with Freelancer in February this year and have 46 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 - and an article about me has recently been published https://www.freelancer.com/community/articles/57-year-old-discovers-a-lucrative-career-on-freelancer-com Other recent work has included proofreading five theses, 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 14 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 manuscript, inserting comments where necessary.

I am a native English speaker and I also live in Australia. I can complete this task in Microsoft Word using track changes, or latex using other techniques to indicate where and why changes have been suggested. I will communicate with you regularly to keep you informed of progress, clarify any questions that may arise, and make sure you are happy with the final document.
