Hi, Rachana. I am very interested in working with you, and I offer to proofread and edit your English manuscript, correcting grammar, spelling, punctuation, vocabulary (choosing the best words for expressing your meaning as clearly as possible), sentence structure, organization of themes and ideas, etc. I am currently finishing a similar job, editing a self-help book for an Italian author (a non-native English speaker). But since we are already in the final phase (analyzing my corrections and suggestions for his final chapters), I am available to begin a once.
Relevant Skills and Experience
I´m American, a native English speaker with excellent languages skills. I used to write, translate, proofread and edit reports, correspondence and technical manuals for multinational companies in the oil business, and now perform similar services for book publishers, independent authors, university post-graduates publishing their academic work, businesses, blogs, sites, etc. I use Track Changes to mark all my alterations/corrections and comments on your text, for your analysis afterwards, which I revise again. My clients´ satisfaction is important to me.
Proposed Milestones
$250 USD - Deliver the corrected manuscript in perfect English.
While I offer to edit your manuscript in 10 days, I confess that that would be rushing. I would prefer to use up to 30 days and be able to guarantee better quality, re-reading everything several times. Please see which agenda is better for your needs.
