We have written a 3rd volume of the book series 'Positive Psychologists on Positive Psychology' where we interview 17 leading figures. If you would like an idea of what this is like, you can see the previous 2nd edition pdf attached. This 3rd edition is about the same length - 60,000 words. It has been copy edited, and proof read by a few people already, so this final proof read is really to ensure consistency and readability. These interviews were in-person and audio recorded, then transcribed, then copy edited for readability. The book will be available to proof read approximately 3rd of February (give or take a day) and i would like a quick turnaround time of a few days. It will be supplied in Word docx format, and use tracked changes please. I am after an experienced proofreader with great eye for detail.

I am very interested in your project and have had a look at volume 2. My father was a psychiatrist and I studied some psychology papers subsequent to gaining my B.A. I am currently paying for a friend to see a psychologist; he definitely needs some positive psychology in his life! I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 53 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, transcribing, editing and proofreading. I am familiar with using the track changes tool. I have ongoing freelance work editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer. Other recent work has included proofreading six theses on a variety of subjects, as well as individual chapters of academic writing. For two years I was 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 15 books to publication and three of these clients have rehired me to work on a second book. Having been a teacher of English in high school for four years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language.

Hello! I have my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and have more than 5 years of proofreading and editing experience. I do live in the United States but I am willing to adjust to the time difference (if there is any) and meet your needs by providing a quick turnaround. If awarded, I am willing to discuss your time needs in detail but I can provide a quick turnaround within 2-5 days at most. I do use track changes whenever I am proofreading a document so I am familiar with that feature and also, I like to utilize comments in case there is anything that I would like to clarify. My rate is negotiable as is my turnaround time so please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you would like to talk about the project prior to awarding someone, I would be more than happy. Thank you for your time, Cassandra

A little bit more about me: I have worked as a researcher for a multinational company with its headquarters in France for 4 years and I've done a gap year in the UK where I helped teach French to students. This is to attest my level of English. Given that I know the subject matter and I am excellent with English, I feel very confident about handling your task as it is exactly in my area of specialty. In conclusion, I can offer a high quality service at a reasonable price. I hope we will have the chance to work together. Kind regards, Bogdan Isac

Hello, I am a B.A. in English Language and Literature, pretty much in love with literature, and knowledge, in general. Psychology was one of my favorite subjects during my studies, and I have spent a lot of time reading psychologist and people who deal with psychological issues (Dalai Lama, Daniel Goleman). I do have an eye for detail, as I hear and correct grammar in my head as I hear it, usually from every speaker near me I pay attention to. It is sort of a defense mechanism, as I am a writer myself and would love to preserve complete control of my grammar. With that in mind, I might be a good candidate to proofread your book. As stated, it would take me five days, as I would love to do it in great detail, so not a single typo can escape into printing. I do wish you the best of regards and hope to hear from you soon, Milan. :)
