last week I proofread and edited a paper on the last Iranian election. it was the first time I'd done a paid proofreading since I was an English tutor in college. You know what? It might have been the most rewarding gig I've done through GAF. I don't know whether my experience as a blogger, article writer, academic writer, or otherwise qualify me for the position, but I take it that since you only requested proofreading, this particular project won't be nearly as challenging as the last. Please PM with any questions, or if you can send me a section of the manuscript you want proofread. You can hire (or not hire) me based on the merits of that sample. Thanks and Peace, David

Hello - I am a freelance editor/translator working out of Ottawa, Canada. I am a university-educated native English speaker with 20+ years of work experience. I am pleased to provide you with a bid for this project. I have bid at $500 (based on .01 cents per word for the 25,000 that needs work, $250 for the rest). Not knowing your timeframe for this project, I have estimated 2 weeks for completion. Please let me know if you have a deadline otherwise as I can probably accomodate.

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, setting up interviews, transcribing interviews, 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

Hello, I've just completed a Master's degree in English literature at Warwick university, UK (rated better than Oxford for Shakespeare studies, my speciality!!!), that should give you an idea of my competences in English (I also have a Master's in English language from the Sorbonne university of Paris, as a matter of fact). As for the proofreading bit, you will be able to see my name in the academic periodical Papers on French Seventeenth Century Literature, which I have proofread from beginning to end - which implied correcting mistakes, and making sure the bibliographical references agreed with MLA norms of presentation, quite a lot of very precise work. I will proof-read your book seriously, so I offer to do it in six days, but if it is really urgent I'll hurry up!
