Hi! Sounds like you've got a really neat project on your hands, and I'd love to help you out with it (and maybe learn some new recipes along the way)! I'm a native English speaker (American, but familiar with UK and Australian conventions) with a keen eye for detail and a passion for both writing and editing. I hold a B.A. in English with an emphasis in creative writing, and in history. I'm also in the process of finishing my M.A. thesis in history, so as you can imagine most of my time is spent researching, writing, and then editing what I've written to ensure it has the proper style and flow. I've won several awards for my writing on both a university and regional level, and apparently word's gotten out about my editing skills as well because many of my professors actually rely on me to proof (and correct, if necessary) their own professional papers.
I'd be more than happy to send samples or whatever else you might need to determine that I'm highly qualified for this job.
Whatever the case, thank you for your time and good luck with your book!
