Hi there, This is Arif, a native English speaker from Australia. I will professionally proofread and edit your attached document. Your document will be handled professionally and read over and over to ensure nothing is missed out. I check and correct; spellings, grammar, punctuation, consistency, readability, incorrect word usages, poor sentence structure, tenses, spacing etc. I am happy to simply proofread (catch errors), but I also enjoy in-depth editing, which involves improving readability, offering suggestions and restructuring when necessary. Please check some of my previous proofreading and editing projects: https://www.freelancer.com/projects/proofreading/english-language-proof-reading/reviews https://www.freelancer.com/projects/english-us/Project-for-Arif-20287852/details https://www.freelancer.com/projects/articles/Proof-Read-Edit-Commercial-Proposal/details https://www.freelancer.com/projects/article-rewriting/Rewrite-Professional-Article/reviews https://www.freelancer.com/projects/english-us/English-Correction/reviews I am dedicated to help you and make your writing better. Let's have a discuss regarding the project. Thanks, Arif.

I am interested in your project, but your budget is probably too low. If your book is about 38,000 words (19 chapters x 2,000 words), then my offer for copy editing that number of words would be AUD400. If that is not too high a price for you, please read on. I have 12 years of copy editing experience, including more than five years on Freelancer, during which time I have edited over 100 books, both fiction and non-fiction. I have attended a short story writing course and a children's writing course, and I was a member of a writing critique group for six years. I have a BA in English, a diploma for teaching English at high school level, and a technical writing certificate. I would use the track changes tool for you manuscript, to show the changes that I make. Ideally, you would hire two different people: one for the copy editing and one for the proofreading. I could recommend my son for one or other of these tasks, and if he gets to do the copy editing, I would do the proofreading (or vice versa). We recently worked successfully on a recent project together like this for another Australian author. The fee for the proofreading would be in addition to the AUD400 for the copy editing, probably about half.

Hi there, I would like to assist with the project. The project is perfect to showcase my job skills. I have eight of experience in Editing and Proofreading Articles & Blog posts, Website content, Books and e-Books, Novels, Contracts, Proposals. I will read the manuscript and check it all kinds of linguistic mistakes and inconsistencies. My scope of work includes but not limited to fixing all the issues like grammar, punctuation, spelling, misused articles, run-on sentences, incorrect coordinating conjunctions, comma splices, verb-subject agreement issues, dangling participles, split infinitives, and other issues. I also specialize in in-depth editing to improve readability without compromising the author's style of writing. My edits are in MS Word with all changes tracked, and I always submit a draft in advance of any agreed deadline, so you have a chance to review and come back to me with questions. I double proofread all my work to correct any anomalies that were missed during the first time. My commitment and quality of work can be seen in my reviews from my clientele. I assume the manuscript to have close to 40k words. I would revert with the revised version in 10 days for a bid of AUD140. If you feel there is a mutual interest, I will welcome the opportunity to chat with you to learn more about the project and how my qualifications would be a good fit. Thanks! Deepthi L
