Thanks for posting your book editing project. I have been a successful writer and editor for two decades, handling a range of academic, journalism, and creative writing projects. I have successfully edited three books in just the past six months for three different authors. I can help build a cogent, compelling argument for your book, crafting a logical and clear flow to deliver necessary information. I also will help you polish the writing with crisp wording, smart imagery, and an effective, consistent style, while also managing the technical aspects of ensuring proper grammar, punctuation, word agreement, and formatting. I am a reliable and focused professional, dedicated to providing a clean and accurate final draft on deadline, and I always work with integrity and maximum effort. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you. And thank you for providing the additional bid information. I had bid expecting a book length in that range, so I can keep my pricing intact. I did want to let you know that one of my recent proofreading and editing projects was for a book offering advice and counsel on strengthening leadership and professional relationships. I am very familiar with the self-help book format from my journalism work as well. Thanks again and best of luck on this project whichever path you choose.

I believe that I would be an ideal candidate for this project for the following reasons: I have a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in Geography from the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia. I have recently completed a Diploma of Editing, Proofreading and Publishing. I am a native English speaker, and have an excellent command of both spoken and written English. I am fast, accurate and careful. I have had many years of experience in administration, employing Word and Excel on a daily basis, and have an excellent working knowledge of both. I have spent many years writing in academia as I undertook my degree as an external student. My areas of expertise include, but are not limited to: English English Literature Geography Geomorphology Environmental Science Business Finance Sociology Coral Reef Biology Tourism Although I am Australian, my recent editing diploma has equipped me with skills in the US use of spelling, and different citation styles, both of which can differ from those used in Australia.

Sir. It is my pleasure to bid over here. Let's make the professional deal with an experienced writer. Looking forward for your positive response. If you want further information, Come & let's Chat now, otherwise Award me. With best Regards Amit

I have edited and proofread books, articles, websites, and promotional material for many years in both British and American English. I am detail-oriented and accurate. I'm proficient in MS Word and can be available on Skype. I am well-read especially in health, spirituality, religion, history, historical novels, fantasy, and young adult fiction. I’m in Mexico over the winter before returning to the USA. Comments from one author whose book I edited: "the book is definitely far better... Blushingly awkward paragraphs and chapters have been [edited]... In this way, this new English edition has become the new standard for the book...Also, as soon as one reads a few lines, one is grasped by a very fluent and agreeable versatility, a sympathetic level of English, transforming it into a well-balanced level of accessibility and has to read on. Job v. well done..."

I am a professional writer and editor and with over 20 years' proofreading experience, and I would like to submit a proposal for your book proofreading project. My qualifications include a degree in Creative Writing, which included extensive coursework in editing and proofreading. I have edited many books that have since been published and have also done second-round edits on books that have already been published to clean up minor mistakes that were missed by the original editor. I am extremely detail-oriented, and very much a perfectionist when it comes to the English language. Unless otherwise requested I do all of my editing using the track changes feature of MS Word, including both inline edits and comments with suggestions on word flow and readability, etc. My rate for basic proofreading/second-round editing is $.50/500 words, so I estimated by bid based on your page count. If your actual word count differs significantly from my estimate I would be happy to adjust my bid accordingly. My schedule is currently open for the rest of this week, so I am available to begin a new project immediately and I can complete a project this size within 3-4 days. If you have any questions or if you would like more information please don't hesitate to contact me, and thank for considering my proposal!

I hold a Master's degree in Business Administration and a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature (Writing). I've proofread eBooks, thesis papers, essays, articles, etc. When it comes to essays and academic assignments, no one has ever gotten less than an A after I've made adjustments. As I have a degree in English, I'm highly skilled at editing and have a sharp eye for detail.
