Hi, I have written a book about my life and I am looking for someone to proof read it. I will proof read it again in the next two weeks, to ensure it is in fairly decent shape. Generally, I think i am pretty decent, but I am not perfect at grammar, so that will be the main focus. If you take a look at the extract below it should give you some idea of the work involved. By the way, the actual book is 56,000 words. Please can you send me a quote. Thanks Kevin

Congratulations on completing your book and thank you for providing a sample of your writing, which I have had a look at. I see punctuation issues but not too much else wrong with it. I have proof read about 50 books, both fiction and non-fiction, most of these via Freelancer, where I have been working for three years. I am also currently the copy editor for a number of entities, including the International Journal of Wellbeing and the Aegis Trust. My Freelancer reviews are all good ones, and I have many repeat clients. I would use the Track Changes tool for your manuscript, to show the changes that I make.

Hi, I can do a really great job with proofreading your biography. I currently run my own editing business, where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Managed an editing and proofreading service for several years Although my bid is over your stated budget, I think it's a fair price for the word count you stated. I've reduced my usual bid for a text of that length to get closer to your budget. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done to a high standard by your deadline or sooner. For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Check your biography for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity - Assist with structure and graphology/layout - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

I am a professional copy writer and editor from Canada. I can check your grammar to be certain it fits both with UK and US conventions, so if you want to sell your book internationally you can do so. The Harry Potter series, for example, uses many uniquely British terms, but because of the content and grammatical style it has been accepted internationally. As a Canadian I am familiar with both the US and the UK conventions and can make sure your book is internationally accepted. I do all of my own freelancing work, unlike many others I see have bid, who regularly delegate work to other freelancers (often me). This is why I can bid relatively low, as there is no middleman taking their cut. Good luck with your project, and I hope to discuss how I can help you.

My quote is for the entire book I'm an experienced copyeditor, proofreader, style reader, translator, and layout specialist of MS Word document, compatible with .docx, .pdf, and .html formats, intended for self-publishing platforms such as CreateSpace and Kindle Direct Publishing.

I provide the necessary recommendations and amendments using the MS Word comment tool and track changes feature, or apply standard proofreading marks when working on files in PDF format.

For now I wish you a blessed day ahead. Sincerely, Al

Hello, I am an experienced proofreader and editor. My method of line editing allows me to check every single word and ensure the grammar, spelling, punctuation is in order. I like what I have skimmed through so far. You are honest and tell it like it is...no holding back. LOLO My experience is that I have proofread books with large word counts like yours so I can tell you that it will take 10-14 days to do a good job with the proofread. I provide clients with 2 copies. One which has tracked changes and the other a clean copy.

Hi, An experienced and skilled writer with impeccable grammar skill, strong visual awareness, and insists on spelling perfection, you can rest assured that anytime I edit, proofread, and analyze a document of any size it will be returned in tip-top shape and free from errors. Grammatical perfection is a necessity in a finished document, and I will analyze, modify, revise, and reword as necessary so you will be left with a superior finished product. I also do all my editing, proofing, and rewriting manually without the use of any online rewriting programs. When quality counts, contact me. Best regards, Hoffman

Editing, proofreading, and rewriting assignments is what I do every day. Every assignment I complete is 100% grammatically and punctually correct and nothing slips through my fingers, big or small. Each assignment I execute goes through thorough inspection for errors. When you hire me to edit or proofread your work, I guarantee to treat it as my own, letting no errors slip through my fingers.

Hello, Kevin. I read your attached extract, and I really enjoyed your style and humor, so I´d like to offer to proofread your book. I´m American (I know, you´re thinking "Oh no, not a bloody Yank!", but I´ve been expat for over 30 years, so I´m a bit more cosmopolitan than most, a citizen of the world as it were), a native English speaker with excellent language skills (even if I still spell it "humor" instead of "humour": we have software to deal with these details) and years of proofreading and editing books and other texts. I´m currently editing one book about intuition, another in the supernatural fantasy line, and a few blogs - I can send samples of previous work if you like, or do a sample proofread/edit on 1-2 pages of your text as a demonstration of the style and quality of my work. I use Track Changes to show all my corrections and comments in your text, and always offer suggestions for improving what you´ve written without interfering in your own personal style. Please feel free to make a counter-proposal if you wish - I can be flexible (a little). Cheers, David
