I’m a native English speaker and English teacher living and working in Egypt. I have carefully read your project description and I strongly believe I can help you in this important editing/proofreading project. I have participated in a great number of creative writing, rewriting, proofreading, editing and copy-editing tasks for years. However, I'm positive that this job requires meticulous attention to detail as professional copy editors should have broad experience in linguistics so that they can suggest better alternatives. I'm not only a copy editor but a former EFL teacher, as well—a fact that enables me to use the English language effectively and accurately. Furthermore, I understand completely that you need an expert in editing and proofreading—someone who won't just detect errors, but recast improperly written sentences and give constructive feedback and deliver the intended message. It'd be a pleasure to help you get this project perfectly done within deadline. I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects, but I usually keep copies of your documents on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. The finished product will include two copies of the edited text, one that shows the changes, and one that incorporates all of the changes. Confidentiality assured!

There would be 3 sets of eyes going over this document during the proofreading phase if you chose me. I myself correct websites and comic scripts (Not to mention my own work). This is the cheapest I can offer you but as I love new writers plus sci-fi, horror and fantasy (you fit this) I would at least enjoy the job. I can also give you my honest feedback if you so desired.

Offering prompt and thorough correction of all spelling/grammar/punctuation problems in your story, along with voice and style adjustments as required. I'm especially good with paragraphing and dialogue. Experienced proofreader. Writer. Sci-fi fan. Native speaker of English: born in the USA, educated in Australia. First question before starting this task: do you want American English or British English? This needs to be clear from the start, since mixing up both in the same document isn't a good idea. I can do either; the decision is up to you.

Hi, Thank you for reviewing my bid. I am looking forward to working for you. Firstly, may I ask for a bit more information about your ebook? This will help me better understand your project. About Me: I am a native English speaker with freelancer qualifications in English Aust, US and Uk. I worked for a software company managing their website content and SEO. In addition, I have written product advertisements and articles on freelancer & other websites (articles, content, & SEO). I am happy to send you copies of the project briefs and the results for you to review. I just finished proof reading a 200 page ebook and the freelancer employer gave me a five star review for my work. A word about my terms : I have learnt the hard way to insist on milestone payments and I must insist we communicate over freelancer chat to ensure we comply with freelancer's terms and conditions. I see you are not prepaid. I require you to prepay the first milestone amount in escrow held by freelancer. I am looking forward to working for your business. Kind regards, Rachael
