If you view my profile you will see that I registered with Freelancer in February this year and I have 18 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, transcribing, editing and proofreading. My technical writing experience includes editing a variety of manuals. My ongoing freelance work includes editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters. I recently edited a 15,000-word document in two days for a client who was so pleased with my work that he paid me a bonus. Other recent work has included editing a complete thesis as well as individual chapters of academic writing. Last month I worked on rewriting a 24,500-word book to change it from a children's book to one suitable to be read by adults, and the result was described by the client as "perfect". I recently finished editing a second book for this client, this time 35,000 words, restructuring the chapters as well as proofreading the content, and again it was "perfect". (These jobs were via Elance.) I worked for two years as a copy editor for Elsevier Science Publishers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, rewriting text by authors who were not native English speakers. I have worked with individual clients to bring nine books to publication. Having been a teacher of English in high school for several years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays.

Hi, I can do a really great job with fixing your badly translated text.

Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA, MA, CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service in the UK for several years I have put in a fairly low bid in order to be competitive on Freelancer, but please don't wonder if this will affect the quality of the work. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done by your deadline or sooner. For testimonials, please visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Fix any problems with spelling, punctuation and grammar - Fix any problems with flow/clarity of instructions etc. - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

Hi, To provide you a more appropriate quote, may I know the word count of your manual? I would be delighted to provide you editorial assistance on weekdays (Mondays-Fridays). I am a certified professional and full-time freelance editor since 2008. I have edited and formatted written documents, such as books, e-books, corporate brochures, journal articles, company audit reports, web content, as well as master's and doctorate dissertations of student-academic authors from overseas universities, such as Lehigh University, Monash University, Walden University, and University of Maryland, among others. As a native English speaker from the Philippines and a dependable service provider since the past few years, I have done extensive editing, proofreading, style reading, as well as formatting of written documents varying in length and subject matter (please visit my profile page for details). My editorial experience spans two decades beginning in 1989. I hope I could be of help to you. Thank you for taking the time to review my proposal and profile. If you have questions, or if you would like to discuss my pricing, just write back and I will respond shortly. Sincerely, Al

This is a provisional bid, as you haven't specified how long the manual is. That being said, 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 (four times in my last dozen jobs) or both.

Hi. I am an English author and proofreader. It will be no problem to polish up the manuals in proper English to make them more readable. Can you tell me how many there are - ideally the total word count? I'm sure my bid is fine, but I'd rather not bid that and then find that there's far more work than expected.

Hello, I am Singaporean Chinese and I understand that you need to correct the grammar as when Chinese is translated to English, It is bad because of direct translation. I am able to help you with that. I will also be able to redesign it only if it is designed in Photoshop. Thank you for your time and have a great day
