To Whom It May Concern: Thank you in advance for your consideration. I hold a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences in English with a minor in Communications. Currently I am editing, proofreading, and revising eBooks for a company based in Oxfordshire, UK. I have also recently completed editing and proofing a game module for a writer of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons books. That manuscript was 180 pages and was complete in just 5 days. I am also an experienced writer with over 300 articles under my belt as well as employee training manuals, policy and procedure guidelines, and several creative fictional works. If the manuscript is complete, I could have this completed in under two weeks, and that is at the outside. It should take much less time than that. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Kind Regards Lisa Howard USA

Okay, so your grammar is not perfect. Is your story any good? I can edit and punch up your story line, but I am not cheap, and I call things like I see (read) them. So, if you only want editing, you probaby don't want to use my services. If your book and you need help being ready to publish, I can be an asset.

Hello, I'm an experienced editor and freelance writer/novelist and have recently worked on another book edit via GAF, so I can provide good references. I can be available on Skype, Gmail or MSN daily to discuss the work during the editing process. It is obviously important to improve spelling, punctuation, grammar and syntax, but also the flow and readability of the novel, and yet not to unduly influence your writing style and unique character. I have assisted several novelists from a local writers group with suggestions, marketing advice and guidelines for websites to self-publicise their books. Please feel free to Google me (Penny Lapenna.) I look forward to working with you.

Good day, I am a former head of a proofreading department turned freelancer. Having proofread countless newsletters, Web sites, academic and legal papers, as well as books, scripts, short prose, and poetry being submitted for literary agent/editor acceptance and working with an author’s submission service, I have the solid and necessary know-how to make your work perfect before going into print. I've proofread memoirs, lots of fiction (most recently, Civil War, YA, religious, and sci-fi novels), how-to and self-help books, cookbooks, dieting regimen books, etc., and I've worked with actors, directors, TV and screenwriters, as well as professors, among many other types of writers. Much of my previous work experience has been in assisting, editing and proofreading, data entry/processing, and customer service, which are all essential skills needed for freelance proofing. The tools and techniques I have learned from this industry apply directly to the skills proofreaders need—the skills you seek—quick turnaround time, knowledge of the many and ever-changing grammar rules, eagerness to work, knowledge of legal and medical terminology, and knowing how to research and verify dates, topics, historical facts, etc. I am accurate, speedy, and reliable, as well as proficient in MS Office, WordPerfect, and Adobe, among other software. I am also well-versed in AP-style writing, Chicago Manual of Style, and Gregg Reference Manual. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to working with and assisting you. Have a great day, Joi

I have just graduated in communication studies from Institute of Communication Studies Punjab University Lahore. Editing and proof-reading have been my core subjects of interest. I have been writing articles in local English daily in Pakistan. I have worked for the newsletter of a trust school. There I used to proof-read and edit the newsletter. I was also supposed to work on the layout of the newsletter. I am bidding for this project because I believe I have an experience of working as a proof-reader. More over I have a strong grip over English language though I am not a native English speaker but my grammar and writing skills are very well-built.
