I registered with Freelancer in February this year and have 24 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. I am used to working with UK English for my regular transcribing work. My technical writing projects have included editing a number of manuals, including training manuals: one for a security firm and one for the New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. My ongoing freelance work includes 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 satisfied with my work that he has commended me to Freelancer. 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 12 books to publication and three of these clients have rehired me to work on a second book. I would use the Track Changes tool for your document, inserting comments where necessary.

General I have carefully read your project description and I strongly believe that I can help you in this important editing/proofreading project. I have participated in a great number of creative writing, rewriting, proofreading, editing and copy-editing tasks for years. However, I'm positive that this job requires a lot of attention on the editor's part, as copy editors should have broad experience in linguistics so that they can suggest better alternatives. I'm not only a copy editor but a former EFL teacher, as well – a fact that enables me to use the English language effectively and accurately. I fully understand that you need an expert in editing and proofreading. I'm also aware of the fact that clients not only need someone to detect errors, but they also look for a professional writer who can recast improperly written sentences and give constructive feedback. It'd be a pleasure to help you get this project perfectly done within deadline. I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects, but I usually keep copies of your documents on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. Confidentiality assured!

Dear Client, I have seen your instructions and would be the ideal freelancer for this project. I am a native English speaker and I have experience handling similar projects. I would be able to proofread your training manual, ensure that the grammar and sentence structure is understandable and would be done in a timely manner. As an MBA Graduate, I have undertaken similar tasks with the word count being similar. Furthemore, I have worked for a newspaper company in the past. This meant that I had to proofread most of the articles and content before they were published. I also currently provide content for a website that reaches viewers all over the world and because most of them are native English speakers, these articles have to be proofread, ensuring that the sentence structure and grammar is of the highest quality. You can also look at my reviews for the jobs I have done on this platform and the satistified clients I've had within a short period of time and a 100% job completion. This means that I won't request any payment until you're satisified with the job I have done. Please feel free to contact me for more information. Regards, Quicklancer15
