***This is a placeholder bid. My bid is $1.25/100 words to proofread.*** Hi! My name is Nikole and I'm a native English speaker. I have excellent English communication skills. I know I can rant on and on about my accomplishments and proofreading experiences here so I'll just ask you to send all of us bidders in the PM the copy you want us to proofread and I'll show you how I do it. Hopefully, my meticulous proofreading would be just what you're looking for. :) Best regards, Nikole

Dear Sir or Madam, Based in London, I have many years experience in proof-reading, editing, and writing, academic, corporate, financial, legal and technical documents, as well as website content, in both UK and US English. This was gained during a career in the law (probate, trust, and tax) and stockbroking (investment research, and corporate finance). I have also worked for UK publishers of magazines and medical journals, and edited several Ph.D. theses. I edit and proof-read using the "Track Changes" function in Word, as well as providing supplementary notes and comments. If required, I can provide the corrections and changes, by reference to page/paragraph/line numbers, in a separate document. I believe I have the qualities required for your book, and should be pleased to undertake the editing of a sample piece. In the absence of further details, my bid - and the time within which the book would be delivered - must necessarily be an estimate only. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, edit-or-proof 090325

Hi I would be very interested doing this project for you. I am a freelance PA based in the UK, my native language is English. I work for a number of clients, covering a broad spectrum of industry, I have a solid PA, and administrative background gained working at Board Level in various companies. I have advanced knowledge of MS Office and I am used to working to deadlines. I have gained experience of proofing reading whilst being a PA to my current clients. Proposal documents, large reports, draft thesis, contracts, sponsorship documents and tenders. All of these need to be proofread for inaccuracies before being sent to clients. I use TRACK CHANGES in Microsoft Word when I make any edits to a document so you can see where edits and grammatical changes have been made. Proofreading requires a very strong attention to detail and a good command of the English language; these are two of my key skills. I can complete documents within 24 hours dependant on the amount of editing that is needed. My fees for proof reading are $2.00 per page regardless of the amount of editing and sentence restructuring that is needed. I am more than happy to complete a sample for you and I can accept payment via PayPal/GAF. I have provided a low bid amount for your project as I am trying to build my profile on GAF. I am confident that you will be pleased with the work that I do and will choose me to be your provider should you have a need for any more support. I do have feedback for a recently completed proof reading project on GAF. References can be provided on request. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Kind regards Nicola Anthony

A project like this is definitely going to be something that takes time because it's impossible to rush through something you're being knit-picky about, which is highly important in regards to editing. Please send me the sample you wish to have me edit and I will get it back to you within a day. Also, please check PM for more details and a sample of how I edit.

I can perform the work. As a sample of my writestyle see below: The threshold plays the most important role in pagan customs, because has several meanings in one. The threshold is the edge of previous life and the beginning of new. It is also a boundary in between two the worlds – the bride and the groom families. To step over the threshold means both to cross the limit of allowed before and to open crushed door in a new life in order to retain a family house as the only sense of life.

I have been involved in the publishing industry since 1975. Since 1988 I have been doing proofreading specifically (both freelance and for a proofreading services company). I am a native English speaker, with a keen eye for detail -- especially misspellings and grammatical mistakes. I put in $300 but it is hard to give a total without knowing the length of the book. Please send me your sample for editing right away and I will return it to you within hours. I am sure you will be well pleased with my work. Thank you for your consideration.
