Hello 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 in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. 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.

Editing is the process writers use to catch errors typical of their own writing. Because editing focuses on problems that are particular to an individual writer and that occur again and again effective editing requires that you know the types of errors you typically make and that you have specific strategies for finding those errors. Proofreading is the final stage, focuses on random goofs. The final draft has been corrected, but sometimes because of a computer error, fatigue, carelessness, or oversight, mistakes are still present. It is important to go through the paper one last time to catch these random proofs. As a freelance writer, I’m very much experienced in editing/rewriting/proofreading. Regards, James Franklin
