Screening Test for Copy Editor

I've proofread a computer science thesis and several papers, taken some graduate school computer science courses and worked as a programmer. The quality of my work is shown by the fact that a significant percentage of my clients have either rehired me or given me an unsolicited bonus (three times in my last eight jobs) or both.

Hello, I have been an editor for nine years and during this time, I have edited thousands of books, websites, scripts, articles, and academic papers. I can begin immediately and provide a finished, fully edited project within a day. Please see my reviews and exam scores. Good luck.

Hello! I am currently employed with the North Dakota Legislative Council as their proofreader, and I have been a proofreader/editor for almost 9 years. I am a native English speaker, and I have an in-depth knowledge of the English language and grammar. I have proofread many different types of documents. On a daily basis, I have to produce high-quality work that is not only error-free but also flows smoothly and makes sense. The majority of the work I do is seen by the public, so I have to ensure that my work is the highest quality so the author of the document maintains a good rapport with the public. I would love the opportunity to help you with your project and to show you the quality of work I can do. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you in advance for your time. ~KJensen0711

I've been working in the South African educational publishing industry since 2001, not only as copy editor and proofreader but also as production editor and author. I'm currently based in Guatemala. I have a flair for making texts suitable for the age and language level of the reader, in particular for students who speak English as a second or even third language. In addition, I check the content for factual accuracy: something not many proofreaders do anymore but which is critically important in educational publishing. I work in both UK and US English and am looking forward to hearing from you!

I have an excellent understanding of the English language as well as a precise attention to detail that allows me to spot errors and problem areas very efficiently. I also do enjoy this type of work, which I believe is an important quality, as I have no problem doing this for long periods of time if necessary. I operate with a professional attitude and would be more than happy to work for you. Thanks for your consideration.

Dear Client Although new to this site, I am an old hand in the publishing industry. As an experienced Managing Editor, I have worked with a number of successful Cape Town-based publishing companies. In my capacity as Managing Editor, my responsibilities included the full book production process. This included manuscript assessment, scoping of the book production process and assigning the relevant freelance (editors, artists, designers, typesetters) resources. During this process I would liaise closely with the author (or in some cases, author team), discuss manuscript development and changes, and where able, edit and proofread some titles personally. On the rest of the publishing list I would oversee and manage the quality of editing and proofreading. I have worked with the following companies in both a full-time and freelance capacity: Juta, Struik, Reader's Digest SA, Prentice Hall SA, Pearson Education SA, Maskew Miller Longman, Nasou Via-Afrika, Zebra Press, Oxford University Press, The Human Sciences Research Council and the University of Cape Town (Schools Development Unit). In addition I have completed freelance projects for a number of smaller organisations needing Annual Reports and marketing materials written and produced. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your project needs and how I may fulfil them. As a newcomer to this site I am open to negotiation and keen to start working. Yours sincerely Linda
