Hi I will be honest and say that for the money you are offering, the quality of work you are likely to get will not be good - A qualified editor/proofreader works at a rate of 2,000 words an hour as an industry standard - you you are looking at 44 hours work for your project. I don't believe you will get quality and 'professional' work for your budget but I am getting fed up with so called proofreaders ripping people off by doing a good job for the first few pages and them skimming text as you won't discover the true quality of the work until later an long after you have released the money. It would be unprofessional of me to suggest who to avoid - but I am not bidding for the project as I couldn't come down to the rate you are offering as a maximum.. When you have had the work done, if you would like to let me know if it is okay, I'd gladly spend 15 minutes looking over the text to see how many errors there are and if there are many - then my advice is not to pay for the work as editing and proofreading prior to publication should be totally error free. I don't charge for doing that, I'm just trying to keep standards up and to protect new Freelancers. So you know why I won't be bidding - my rate would be $440.00 but then I allow myself time to do a complete job and won't sacrifice my 5* by doing a substandard work - for me it isn't just about the money, it's about pride and ethics too.

Hello, I am extremely interested in completing this project for you. I have extensive experience in editing, proofreading and formatting documentation for a wide variety of disciplines and genre. I have a keen eye for detail and the ability to not only spot any inconsistencies in your text but to correct them as well. Irrespective of whatever type of documentation, topic or genre I can guarantee you top quality work from a professional Writer/Documentation Consultant, excellent communication and above all value for your money. I firmly believe that an editor’s role is not only to make sure the content is structured correctly and grammatically correct but to also ensure that the edited content is consistent to capturing the author's thoughts and ideas. To date with my freelancing career I have edited, proofread and formatted in excess of 50 books for Kindle, Create Space and Lulu, edited academic articles, proofread/edited academic theses to PhD level, created technical documentation for multi-national companies, created and edited website content. To ensure that your book not only meets your criteria but also the professional standards I work to I estimate that I can complete the project within the timescales you require. If you care to review the comments of my previous Freelancer clients then you will see that I can adequately meet your requirements. You can contact me at any time to discuss your project.

Dear Josh, My passion for the written word ignited when I began reading at the age of two, and it has intensified ever since. I am an avid reader of fiction and nonfiction books, an attorney who has drafted a wide variety of documents, and a former member of the University of Texas School of Law's well-renowned journal, Texas Law Review. Thus, I understand and appreciate the powerful roles that grammar, punctuation, word choice, and organization play in effective communication. I now am seeking additional opportunities to apply my language skills and keen eye for detail by copy editing texts, including books like your narrative. Although editing is a critical step in the crafting of high-quality written material, a document is primarily the product of its creator. Accordingly, when editing your book, my underlying goal will be to ensure that your voice and intent are clearly conveyed throughout the piece. Further, I will adhere to your chosen style guide (i.e., The Chicago Manual of Style, The Associated Press Stylebook, or a personalized style guide). Customer satisfaction is my top priority. I will make myself available to discuss your goals, directions, requests, and concerns via email or phone, and I will respond to communications in a timely manner. Further, as an attorney, I am accustomed to producing high-quality writing under significant time constraints. I am willing to perform a trial edit of up to ten pages. I sincerely appreciate your consideration.

Hi! I'm a creative writer myself, and I'm working on several of my own novels, so I know the importance of having a good beta reader and editor. I do my own editing both for creative and academic works, so my eye is highly trained to catch grammatical errors and mistakes. I'm also very good with sentence structure and other things of a stylistic nature, so I can assure you that your work will be read and corrected with both keen observation and a passion for the craft. I can have this done in just over a week, if not sooner, since I have plenty of free time to work on this. Please check my portfolio for samples of my work. If you have any questions for me, please PM me!
