Hi there,
I am a native English speaker (UK, though currently living abroad) and a PhD (University of Edinburgh) with over 8 years of professional editing and proofreading experience, including books, manuals, magazines, academic papers and more.
I work extensively with track changes and comments to provide constructive critique and suggestions.
As for my favorite authors...that's quite a question! :-D It's better if I provide you with a picture of my private library. Next to several Russian authors, I have just gone through the "lost generation". With regards to the latter, I very much enjoyed the early Hemingway, Zelda Fitzgerald (not Scott) and Joyce. Some of my all time favorites are Salinger, Burges and Graves.
If awarded, I could start reading and editing your book as early as tonight, so you'd have it back within a few days. Please do refer to my reviews here on freelancer to get a picture of the high quality and on-time delivery of my work.
Furthermore, note that I am a private person and guarantee that your project stays with me. In other words, i will not outsource your project to Pakistan or India (a common practice here) but will work on it myself and be available for communication throughout the process, Any necessary revisions are, of course, free of charge,
Lastly, the price is negotiable and ultimately depends on the overall workload of this project.
Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss further details.
With kind regards,
Patrizia
