I need an editor who works from transcriptions

$8-15 USD / hour

$8-15 USD / hour

This is a job for someone with perfect grammar and excellent writing skills. The goal here is to take an audio file, transcribe the words, and edit them to make it look and feel like a well-written piece. Please include ONE LINK to a text you've written. There will be an UNPAID, very short test. The winning bidder will have free reign to modify the text at will, but the goal is to "hear" my client "speak" through the writing. Be conscious of the intent. I NEED SOMEONE WHO'S LOYAL. There's a lot of steady work and my client needs a consistent, steady style, and so I'm looking for someone who'll stay with us for a minimum of 2 years, and maybe for a lifetime if the transcriber/editor is the right one. Initially, there will be enough work for about 20 hours per month, though that amount could steadily rise to a full-time job if I find the right person. I need someone who knows how to keep a secret. There's nothing wrong or illegal with the work we're doing, but we need confidentiality. The author speaking in the microphone will be speaking slowly, clearly and will be by himself in a room. There's no catch, here. We're working on a novel, a non-fiction book and a blog. The offer is $0.015 per word of the final product. This means that you'll be downloading the audio file, transcribing it and editing it for a total of $0.015 per word. If you don't like the rate, don't bid. If your grammar isn't perfect, don't bid. If you're not a loyal worker looking for a long-time gig, don't bid. You need to include the word BETWEEN in your bid. All bids that don't have this word in it goes straight to the trash. I will disregard your per-hour bid. The rate is clearly stated in this job proposal.

BETWEEN. Mistakes found: there should be no comma between "catch" and "here." And, if you use the Oxford comma, there should be a comma between "non-fiction book" and "and." I work hard and I work fast. I have more than 10 years of experience as an editor, copywriter and proofreader, and 25 years experience teaching English grammar, composition and literature. And I have done transcribing work in the past. Hire me, you won't regret it. I'm well worth it! I am a US citizen currently living and working in the Philippines and am well-educated, well-read and well-traveled. I'm interested in working on your project, please send me a message. Thanks! As for a link to my work--all the work I've done is as a ghostwriter so I technically can't send you a link, but I will send you samples of my work via chat on this site or email--will that work for you. Looking forward to hearing from you, Betty Romero

"BETWEEN" native English-speaker and proofreader, ready and willing! -proposal is for the transcription, proofreading, and verbatim copy editing of spoken audio by a single individual -proposed rate is the provided rate of $.015 per word of the final deliverable -estimated TAT would be within 1 day per audio hour Thanks for your consideration! ChemDash grammar chances to client proposal: -removed comma after "words" (to remain consistent with lack of serial comma in the rest of project description) -comma after "work"** -semicolon instead of comma after "style" -comma after "and so" -stylistic change of "2" to "two" -removed comma after "catch" -replaced "goes" with "go"** **I think these were the ones referenced in the project description.

I am an active member of my college's Press Club and the editor of my college's annual magazine. I have spent two years in college writing articles for the paper, and most of these articles were based on interviews which I had to transcribe. Since this is essentially what I need to do if I get this opportunity, I believe I will work better than anyone else purely because of my prior work experience.

I have the time and requisite skills to execute this kind of a job. I have a good command of English and have a flair for writing. As regards my other work, all of it is of a very confidential nature involving dissertations or theses which I will not reveal since it would place the students for whom I have done this work in a precarious position. The two corrections (in fact 3) that I could make out are an unclear antecedent at the beginning of your project description and two missing commas. The errors are - This (Unclear antecedent) is a job for someone with perfect grammar and excellent writing skills. There's a lot of steady work (comma) and my client needs a consistent, steady style, and so I'm looking for someone who'll stay with us for a minimum of 2 years, and maybe for a lifetime if the transcriber/editor is the right one. We're working on a novel, a non-fiction book (comma) and a blog. We need to discuss the job since it is not clear how we can resolve the dichotomy between the number of words and the hours required to complete it as it would depend on a number of factors.
