Hello - I would certainly love to help you make your work more dynamic and rich in terms of the overall language and flow. I've spent many years proofreading and editing articles and papers as I was a college English professor. I think that given my experience in this area, I could certainly turn your project around quickly and efficiently. I believe the job of an editor is not only to correct grammar and sentence structure, but also to give the writer a fresh set of eyes with which to view the work and perhaps offer perspectives that the writer previously had not considered. A little on my background: I hold a PhD in English/Literature and so have completed a number of book length projects. I've also had articles published in academic journals. I spent eight years teaching college level writing and literature courses. Over the course of the past seven years, I have been working both in the business world in a management capacity and also as a consultant/freelancer. You can check out my work at my site: scribassist.com. I look forward to hearing from you! Best, Anne

Hi! I'd love to discuss your project with you further! As you'll note from my profile, I'm quite comfortable with creative writing, editing, and re-writing, and can write in nearly any style and with nearly any tone to match the style you're looking for. As previous clients can attest, I pride myself on high-quality work. I'm not happy with the final product unless you're thrilled with it, and to help make that happen, I take great pride in extensive, clear communication to make sure we have the same expectations of the final product. I've written for multiple publications previously, both online and of, bylined and ghostwritten, fiction and nonfiction, and would like to share my experience and skills with you. I'd love to discuss further with you what level of editing and revision you're looking for, and what changes you're imagining from the first draft to the second. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you have, or to see more samples of previous work besides those shared on my profile page. Thanks much for your consideration!

Hi, I am a professional proofreader, copy-editor and writer with over 10 years' publishing experience. I promise to correct misspellings, rectify any grammar mistakes and generally polish your text to make it shine. Examples of work corrected: , books, e- books, essays, CVs, letters, marketing material, coursework, job applications, magazine articles, blogs and websites. As a freelance proofreader I offer proofreading and editing services to both businesses and private individuals. Whatever the project and whoever the client, my aim is to provide an excellent service. As a editor, it's my job to understand exactly and deeply what your writing is about, so that I can help make it everything you know it can be. Whether light or substantive editing is what you need, whether you want your voice retained or developed. I'm certain this description is too long-winded, and if you've made it to this point, kudos! Please contact me so I can put on one of my metaphorical hats (or actual, if you prefer) and get to work! Best Regards, Micheal
