I believe that I would be the ideal candidate for this project for the following reasons:
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Queensland, Australia and have recently acquired a Diploma of Proofreading, Editing and Publishing so my skills are very fresh. I would be happy to proofread and copy-edit a sample chapter to display my abilities.
I have an excellent command of the English language, both spoken and written. 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
Should I be the successful bidder, I would require a milestone payment of 10% of the agreed price to commence work, an additional 40% payment at the halfway mark, and the remaining 50% on successful completion and submission of the work. I regret that I must be adamant about these terms, because I have done work previously for unscrupulous people who paid me nothing, yet created a large Freelancer debt for me.
