COPY EDITOR BOOK ENGLISH USA

I am a skilled and experienced editor and proofreader. I always deliver a quality product meeting all project requirements. I have proofread and edited a wide variety of documents including: 23 novels (including several science fiction novels), 185 non-fiction books, 149 e-books, theses, dissertations, numerous academic articles and reports, business documents, web content, legal documents and others. I look forward to hearing from you.

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. My work with Freelancer has included editing a story translated from Spanish to English. 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. Other recent work has included 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". A second book for this client, this time 35,000 words, restructuring the chapters as well as proofreading the content, was also "perfect". (These jobs were via Elance.) 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. Having been a teacher of English in high school for several years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own. I have reviewed your test page. I would use Track Changes for your manuscript, inserting comments where necessary.

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! PS. I can use US English

Hi, I can do a really great job with copy-editing your novel. 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 - Current editing and proof reading service for several years What is the word count of your book, please? We would have to discuss your exact requirements before we agree on a budget and duration for the project. Please get in touch when you can to talk it over, and I'm sure we can come to an agreement. I will 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 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 book for US spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity where necessary - Assist with plot structure, characterization and originality - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job.

I would be able to copyedit your book, ensure that the grammar and sentence structure is understandable and would be done in a timely manner. 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

I am a former university mathematics and computer science academic who has published 13 research papers in peer-reviewed journals. On the basis of the quality of my writing, I was offered work as a copy editor for a journal in 2010. Since then I have accumulated 5 years of experience in copy editing, rewriting and proof-reading working on articles, dissertations, and other items for students and academics, many of whom have English as their second language. I am a native English speaker. As I have a great deal of experience in editing the writing of non-native English speakers, and am an avid reader of the science fiction genre, I would be very interested to work on this project. I am a very thorough editor, and will communicate with you regularly to ensure that you are happy with the suggested changes, keep you informed of my progress and discuss any issues that may arise during the work. I will use tools such as Track Changes in Microsoft Word to indicate the suggested changes and reasons for these.

I have excellent editing skills and I am confident that I will do a great job. In case you have any questions, feel free to contact me. All the best, Oana

A proposal has not yet been provided

I am a native English speaker with a full grasp of the language. I am currently contracted as a website content creator, a blog author, and a social media manager. Based on the rough English in the example provided, there is extensive editing needed with regard to tense and sentence flow. It is evident that this was translated, and I am happy to help you recapture the flow of your story with native English editing. Here is an example of how the first few sentences should flow: Morgan drove his old red Ford north out of Manhattan, having long since left behind the Chrysler Building, Empire State Building and Times Square to head home. Accompanied by his wife and daughter, who sat in the back seat watching the yellow taxis drive by, they headed across the George Washington Bridge, away from the island, on their way home. I have other writing samples and references upon request. My bid is to edit your writing, but I need clarification on how many pages there are, as it is an extensive re-write. I look forward to talking more soon.

It is evident that this is translated and it needs extensive reworking. See below: Morgan was driving his car, a red Ford that was several years old. He was accompanied by his wife in the passenger seat and their daughter in the rear seat. They were going through Manhattan from the south to the north, and had long since left behind the Chrysler Building, Empire State Building, and Times Square. Their goal was to leave the island, crossing the George Washington Bridge, taking the road that would lead them home. Morgan was an expert driver and liked to drive, although today he was not enjoying the pleasure of taking the wheel of his car as much as he usually did. It was a lovely day and he was driving past Central Park, one of the most beautiful areas of New York. Today was an important day for the whole family. Why was he feeling so sick? He looked at his wife and said, “I feel very tired.” She was saying “As soon as we cash the check, we can get rid of the mortgage. Let's sell the house. I do not care what they give us for it and we’ll go and live in Manhattan. Our life will change. We will finally be able to give our little girl a better life.” Morgan’s wife was speaking about their business, ignoring ignoring her husband's distress. Morgan realized she had not even heard what he had just said. He decided to hold on a little more and see if the discomfort he was feeling would pass. He concentrated on driving, but just then, Morgan's daughter began to shout ....
