Hello Freelancers! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day. I am in the final stages before publishing my latest novel/collection of short stories (about love and relationships, and being kind to people, and the important decisions that we all must face at times), which I've been working very hard on for the last year and a half and has very much been a labor of love for me, but I pride myself on turning in professional looking work that is as error free as possible, and even though I think it is pretty much good to go, I am feeling paranoid about it having a few leftover mistakes that my previous editors and I may have missed. So I would like to hire a proofreader to give it one last read-through before I actually publish it. It's very important to me that nothing negative stands out about this book, like grammar mistakes. It should not be too much work for whoever I hire because it has been polished up by three different editors already. I'd like to hire someone who has a really good eye for catching mistakes. My biggest concern is missing punctuation (especially quotation marks), grammar mistakes and also tense errors, meaning writing a sentence in present tense when it should be past tense. All of the novel should be third person past tense. I'm also open to suggestion when it comes to re-wording or re-phrasing things if something reads awkwardly. I also need this done in a week or less if possible. The book is about 60,000 words long. Thanks in advance to anyone who would like to help me with this. It's very important to me, so please don't apply if you are only looking to earn some quick money and do not take pride in your work. Here is the synopsis: Adam Arthur has built his life on telling love stories. In the final moments before a surgery from which there is no guarantee of waking up, Adam’s mind is filled with the stories of an array of individuals: each one unique, each one connected. A jaded woman tires of pretending her way toward a perfect match; a wife who, after years of contentment, suspects her husband of unfaithfulness; a young mother wonders at what juncture her life took the wrong track; two lovers find their fate in one another, even if it requires more than one lifetime to fulfill that destiny. These tales and more intertwine in Adam’s memory as he considers the rippling effect of choices made and chances taken. Told with romantic mystery, urgency, and hope, Luke P. Narlee’s collection of stories captures brief, significant moments in his characters´ lives. These 13 narratives of the heart remind us there are things in life that just can´t wait.

I can do this for you! I have a Bachelor or Arts in English with a minor in history from The University of Texas at Arlington. I am in my 30th year teaching high school English, so my revising and editing skills are excellent. I am "that" person who spots grammatical errors (and takes pictures for my classes) where ever I go; I have an eye for detail and am generally annoyed with poor grammar and incorrect punctuation! I have led students to a deeper analysis of literature - short stories, poems, non-fiction, drama - and taught them to appreciate authorial technique. In addition, I am an avid reader who appreciates most genres. I am fairly new to freelance editing and am eager to do a good job to get that positive review, so you may be assured that I will give you my best effort. So that you feel comfortable, I am willing to edit a few pages so that you can see my work before you commit. Also, we can negotiate the fee and the days to completion.

Congratulations -- you're so close to making this dream come true! I'd be honored to do a read-through and make sure there are no errors in grammar, punctuation, spacing, or anything else that would make your book look unprofessional. I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills. I also have a keen eye and ear for characterization, voice, flow, sentence structure, story arc, and plot. Perfect prose is my passion--I've edited more than twenty novels, screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. I am currently a writer and associate editor with three local publications in my city, and I have worked as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. I look forward to hearing from you!

Good afternoon I like the sound of your synopsis and I sympathize with those final moments of doubt that always manifest themselves just before going to a publishing house / self-publishing. I'd be more than happy to give your manuscript a final, very thorough read-through to catch any last-minute mistakes. I have a Master's in English and Linguistics and was a lecturer in English Language for many years, so my grammar / linguistic skills are very well-honed. I can assure you that if there's anything in there, I'll find it correct it (with tracked changes) and get it back to you completely error-free and good to go. I can work to your deadline on this - I am quite flexible. I also hold dual US/UK nationality, so I can work with either set of spelling conventions. Just get in touch for a chat and we can get started! Best Regards - thank you for your time Simon Richardson

Hello, I consider myself a skilled writer that strives to make the customer happy and completely satisfied. Since I have excellent grammar and spelling capabilities, I am able to determine the concept that is trying to be shared by the customer. I then turn around and correct missing links or other errors and produce refreshed content that is plagiarism-free. No online rewriting tool is needed in this case. It is important to remember that the content of your business plan – not just the appearance – could be the first impression a prospective client may get. If the prospective customer receives a document that is full of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and inaccurate information it can give a poor impression of the presenting business. It would be my pleasure to help you get your content in optimal shape. Regards

My clients rehire me frequently and have awarded me 19 bonuses for the quality of my work, which works out to nearly one in every six projects. I've tidied up two novels, part of a third, and a collection of poetry and short stories. My bid is based on the assumption I can check over everything at the rate of ten pages an hour, twice my usual speed. If I find that your text is in even better shape, I'd be willing to lower my bid accordingly.

Hello, Luke; I am a professional copy editor and proofreader with over seven years of experience, some of which can be found in my portfolio. I’m intrigued by the synopsis you left at the end of the job description, and I’d be very interested in taking a look at a sample of the manuscript. I’m willing to sign a nondisclosure agreement before I see any part of the work. I understand you’ve had this edited multiple times and are just looking for someone to catch those pesky errors that slip through. I’m very good at that. I’ve been known to point out minute errors in how a character’s name is spelled, all the way to making sure place names are spelled the same throughout the manuscript. I’m a stickler for extra spaces, missing punctuation, and tense changes. I edit using the Chicago Manual of Style, Sixteenth Edition because that is the one currently required by the larger publishers in the United States, as well as review publications, such as the New York Times. However, I am capable of editing with the Associated Press style. If you know the style your previous editor used, that would be great. If not, I’ve worked with manuscripts with unknown styles in the past. I understand this has been edited professionally in the past, so I’m willing to go with a budget of $0.004 per word for this manuscript, and I can definitely have it completed within seven days, probably less. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Nadene Seiters

"Hello, Having been an English teacher at a University, I understand how important it is for immaculate proofreading, especially for our students who are submitting Masters and PHD dissertations. Perfect grammar skills and rewording sentences, is a necessary and important skill that I have honed after years of experience in academia. Often when doing proofreading, second language speakers, make basic mistakes as they are not native speakers. I am a specialist in this field. As a meticulous English teacher, teaching different skills, including grammatical structures, I would be able to spot mistakes and rewrite where and when necessary. The use of specific vocabulary comes with experience and I have gained that over many years of doing this specific craft. Regards"

I can write deliberately or deliciously; I will hone in on your intent and boil it down to the most common denominator so that it's so easily palpable, that your audience will know exactly what you want them to know.

I do the following and more: • Correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar • Check the logical flow of ideas • Ensure that message is clear • Research and check facts From formatting and preferences to punctuation and parentheticals, I rigorously strive to improve the works assigned to me with great care.

Hi Luke, Congratulations on your latest book! From the synopsis you posted, it sounds like an amazing collection of interconnected stories. It sounds like something I would love reading. That being said, as a proofreader, I have a strong eye for detail and extensive knowledge of the English language-- I hold degrees in English and Creative Writing and have been a writer myself for many years. I understand and respect your eagerness to make your manuscript professional and error-free; this is where I offer you my expertise and help. Having already undergone some edits, if you just want someone to double check everything, I estimate I could have this done in about 8 days. I would give a shorter turnaround, but you sound like you want this to be very thorough. In order to apply the diligence your project deserves, I'd aim to have it finished in the time frame given. If you need it sooner, though, we can definitely negotiate that. It's up to you. (I do take pride in my work, and I want you to be able to take complete, unabashed pride in yours!) I offer my clients a no-obligation sample edit. Send me a page or two and if you have any questions about my work, we can sort those out up front. I look forward to working with you; and if that is not to be, I look forward with equal pleasure to reading your book some day. I'll be keeping an eye out for it! Best regards, Abigail S.

"Hello, My vast understanding of English helps me a lot. I am able to read upto three hundred words per minute, which is well above the average person, and I do this with a hundred percent comprehension of the material i read. This together with my skills can help me edit your document of a thousand words within twenty four hours and make it a mistake free article. I can also rewrite and proofread documents within the same amount of time as editing. One thing I can promise you is that I treat my clients work with the utmost respect and I can never steal nor copy your work and claim it to be my own,my mother brought me up well enough to know that I should treat others how I wish to be treated and stealing a clients work is not how I would wish to be treated. I will be able to also correct grammatical errors which appear anywhere in the article since this is in my vast skillset. I can also give detailed descriptions and expalanations of whatever that you request. Regards "

Hello there, I have gone through the entire brief and I would love to apply for the job and be of service to you. I just finished handling a similar QA (quality assurance) assignment with Chalktalk Academy, on their SAT practice questions, and would love to work with you also. I'm a Proofreader, Editor, and an article Rewriter. I'm open to a test to ascertain my proficiency. Perhaps you could send me 2 to 3 pages via chat, I'll work on it and send back to you, and then, you can let me know what you think about my editing and proofreading proficiency. How about that? My Qualifications, Experience, and Personality: As a proofreader and editor, I use my excellent grammar skills to polish articles, manuscripts, books, etcetera. I spot errors such as omissions and typos easily. I've worked on eBooks, ELA multi-choice questions, articles, and novels. I always strive to ensure my clients’ satisfaction is a priority; thus, it's always guaranteed. I'm fluent in both written and spoken English. I do execute jobs promptly and efficiently. After working with me, you'll probably want to work with me again; I do not get annoyed easily, rather, I'm patient, enthusiastic, creative, innovative, understanding, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. After all said and done, most importantly, I would really love to work and have a good working relationship with you in the long run. Regards, Kayode.
