I have a manuscript of approximately 270,000/390 pages which I require proofreading. It is a British crime thriller and does contain references to drugs, murder, violence and strong language. Similarly, there are phrases and references that might not be in current usage, or considered as politically incorrect. If you are uncomfortable with any of these, please don't pitch for this job Having said that, we believe that all violence and strong language is in context and never gratuitous. An excellent grasp of UK English is a prerequisite; you will find colloquial English within the text, but we are happy to explain anything that is not understood. The novel is set in the 1990's, so there may be some period references that are not familiar; again, we are happy to explain anything you might come across. There is no absolute deadline for this project, but we would like this completing promptly. Please give some indication of anticipated timescale when you pitch for the job.

I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 105 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. In February this year I took on a role as the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, an online journal, a position to which I was invited by a Freelancer client. One of my earlier projects with Freelancer was to edit a 65,000-word science fiction novel, and the client was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer, and an article about me was published by Freelancer. My recent work has included proofreading a number of 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 more than 20 books to publication and five of these clients have rehired me to work on further books. 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. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own.

I can ensure that your book is free from grammatical errors and can also help with word choice and sentence structure, as necessary. I am very familiar with British English and not hesitant to ask questions if I don't understand something. I am including below a few reviews I have received for similar projects. You are welcome to visit my profile to view my additional reviews. Thank you for your consideration. “She is the best! I have used her for editing my manuscript for three drafts. I highly recommend her if you need your work done professionally and on time!” “klboots performed an edit and a detailed critique of my 75,000 word novel and I could not be more happy with the final product! I will definitely hire again!!” “Klboots did an excellent job proofreading and editing my novel! She paid attention to detail and greatly improved my book's structure! I plan on re-hiring her very soon!” “I was nervous about hiring off freelancer, based on the content of my book, but klboots was professional and her work was amazing.. The project was finished under the time quoted as well.” “Quick turnaround; very thorough review; her comments were helpful and thoughtful and made my document a better story. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!” “Amazing proof-reader! I have been hiring her for a while and I would not hire anyone else!”

Hi, My name is Stephanie and I am London-born proofreader, copy and line editor with vast experience in this field. I have worked on many manuscripts during my time as a proofreader, a high percentage of which have contained explicit language, sex, drugs...and rock and roll! I work with track changes in MS Word and provide a tracked version and a final version with the changes accepted. As a British proofreader, I am up to speed on colloquial English, and grew up through the 90's so period references of this time would not be an issue. I would be delighted to discuss your requirements for the manuscript further and look forward to hearing from you. Best regards Stephanie

Greetings! I am Kemar Daley, a talented freelancer in the writing sector. After reading your job description, I realized that it is the perfect fit for my skill set, moreover I have been writing and proofreading for over six (6) years now which makes me more than competent enough to deliver high quality work as I am a talented native writer and proofreader who is willing to start working immediately. I am fully knowledgeable of US, UK and Australian English so you can expect a job well done. While I am certain there will be others who underbid me on this project, I can assure you several things. • I work extremely fast • I have a great writing, proofreading and critical thinking skill. • I am a Native American English speaker. This means I can ensure quality communication in regards to the project. A few questions that I have for you about the project: How soon are you looking to start? Can we discuss more via chat? Is there a possibility for long term work? For past work, please see my portfolio. Additional samples are also available upon request. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. Cheers!

Hello. I'm a Canadian editor who was born in England and spent time there as a child, and I've been thoroughly exposed to British literature and pop culture. I recently edited a novella set in the Victorian period, both for grammatical issues and for any out-of-place, modern expressions. I should have no trouble dealing with your novel, and I have the capability of researching any slang or terms that I do not recognise, so I can keep any questions to a minimum. I can also work swiftly and effectively; I used to be a full-time legal editor, a very demanding position. I will be able to finish this work within two weeks. Since much of my work has been with legal, technical and medical documents that had to be as accurate as possible, I have learned to be a careful editor who actually reads word for word and considers the meaning of each sentence. I can identify issues that others will miss. My editing will not merely be for grammar; I can address logical issues and inconsistencies in style and formatting. I can do a free sample for you at any time. Thank you for considering me. Sincerely, Mark
