Description

Looking for a native English speaker to proof-read 80.000 words on e-Government. The text has been corrected in terms of content, spelling and language structure by the authors, but needs to be reviewed for commas especially. The task should be fairly easy for an experienced person. Of course any spelling errors and inconsistencies found during reading should be noted and/or corrected.

The reviewer must use "track changes" in word, so that the authors can see what has been changed. The document will be delivered in MS Word format.

This is a fairly urgent task, the review must be complete by Monday 26th of October.

I am an experienced administrative assistant, copyeditor, proofreader, typesetter, and designer, in addition to having many years of experience in an office setting (data entry, accounts payable/receivable, spreadsheets, billing, etc.). My ex-husband and I have been running our own graphic design and publishing business, Vinci-Designs & Publishing since 2005. For the past 4 years, I have been freelance copyediting and proofreading for Idea Group Publishing, Pinnacle Health Care, University Press, and many others. I have also assisted several companies doing administrative tasks, proofreading, data entry, billing, etc. I am currently working part-time for an NFL sports writer as a personal assistant researching information and photos for articles and uploading articles to online sites and blogs. Due to the current economic downturn, my workflow with our business has slowed down considerably. I am looking to almost dissolve our business and find work elsewhere. Prior to starting our business, I held a full-time position as a copyeditor/editorial assistant for Idea Group Publishing in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where I was employed for more than two years until my relocation to Florida in 2005. I am a very hard worker, dedicated to any job I set out to do. I have a great eye for detail and believe strongly in being an honest and fair person. Dependability is a very hard trait to come by for both part-time workers and freelancers and I strive to exceed your expectations for any project I set out to accomplish. I look forward to hearing from you, if not now, in the future. Thank you so much for your time. Larissa Vinci

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
