Description

Hi,

I need a proofreader with an excellent eye for detecting spelling errors/grammar and other errors. I have lots of articles and I suggest a fees of 2$ for proofreading 7000 words.

All my writers are professional writrs so the chances of errors are minimal. I would also like my proofreader to take responsibility of suggesting which writer to let go in case his quality is poor as I believe in keeping a small group of quality writers whose work needs minimum proofreading.

I am not here to burden you with low quality work and expect you to turn it into a masterpiece. I only expect you to read my articles and correct any typo/spelling/grammar mistake made inadvertantlly by writer. Those writers who consistently make errors will be removed on basis of your recommendation.

So I would like a proofreader who is native english speaker with masters in english or similar qualifications and guarantee that no error can be found in his/her proofread article.

Hi,

Thanks for your bids. I am attaching a document with some random lines from my rejected articles which have been corrected by the proofreader where I send my articles. I have removed the corrections and you are requested to correct these lines. The one whose corrections match the corrections of the proofreader will be selected and given the project. You can consider this as a sample as my articles will be on general topics like health, wtloss and fitness and these lines have been taken from those articles only. Once you submit your corrections, I will share the actual corrections done by magazine's proofreader to let you know her expectations so you can proofread accordingly. Please keep in mind that these lines are not from one article but many articles. I could have just given you one bad article to proofread but I want to familiarise you with her expectations.

Toners as well as milk can help remove impurities, purify and heal the pores while leaving the skin clean and hydrated. The shape of your face can help determine which short hairstyle is best suited for you. We can start with large muscle groups, such as the back, legs, chest and then work our way to small muscle groups: triceps, calves, shoulders, and triceps. Following are four hairstyles that will help tame the frizz while keeping your hair looking sexy and presentable even when you do not have enough time to dedicate to your hair. Braids are a fun, creative, and easy way to keep frizzy hair off of the face while giving it a smooth, maintained look. The trick to doing this correctly is to cover every inch of the hair so the end result will be even, not streaked. Prepare your skin by applying Vaseline around the hairline and ears so that the dye will not bleed into the skin. The beginner should complete three sets of 15 repetitions while resting 30 seconds in between during the first two weeks. This is true to some point; if you compare a heavy weight lifting routine to doing only 50 push-ups a day then this is the case. Most exercises use more then one muscle at a time. In order to fuel the muscle building process, you should eat every three hours. Climbing stairs will help develop the muscles needed for your vertical jump. Good nutrition is vital to improving your skin tone and health. Apply on your face and blend well. You may also use shimmer if you are looking for a glittery effect. Change your diet and start focusing on consuming more protein and vegetables in every meal. For this we have to exercise regularly. Going to the gym and doing free weight workouts can help us the in the process. Only if we plan our routines while staying motivated, we can get the intended results we are looking for. Doing these exercises will give you more muscle strength, but please keep in mind the following: The higher the weight and fewer reps the longer your rest period. Do yourself a favour: make foods that are high in fiber your best friend. Rather than eating three huge meals in a day, having little meals every two to three hours gives you more energy. In addition, consuming enough protein after 30 minutes of exercising by using creatine will work perfectly in this case. Because the flu virus tends to come very early in recent years; it is advisable that you take all protective measures ahead of the flu season. If you cannot afford to stay ill for a week while trying to recuperate, you will certainly need to pay some attention these tips. If you are trying to lose fat, your diet will be different than for someone who just wants to gain muscle. Since aerobics is one of the best fat busters, you may want to include it within your workout program. Strawberries are a widely known and one of the most tasty fruits. Free weights use more muscles then the machines. You do not have to wait to use them if you have your own. Designing the right workout for building our muscles is an important concept to think about before entering into our workout routines. The toughest challenge about going to the gym is having self-motivation and doing workouts regularly. Since the beginning of time, people have worshipped beauty. Humans have always appreciated things that are beautiful. When it comes to skin care, nature has many choices for you. Thanks to modern science, there more ways to get a bronze glow to your skin. What many people tend to forget while tanning is to apply a tanning lotion designed for indoor tanning before getting into the tanning bed. There are no limitations in the variation of movements and type of workouts that we can do in a weight lifting room. These exercises slowly add muscle mass and we have to choose the exercises which will help us increase our muscle mass. We should share some of our fantasies in order to help please our partners. This article provides some tips which will help the fantasy sharing scenario which can be used during foreplay.

You state that you pay $2 per 7000 words which is approximately 20 pages of text. My time estimate is based on how many days I could reasonably proofread the 7000 words. I am a native English speaker who has taught English as a Foreign/Second Language for more than thirty years at a teachers' college in Venezuela. The main courses which I taught were reading and writing, composition, orthography, and English grammar.

Specialize in proofreading. I can do my part in 3 days, or a little longer if equations and science are involved. Afterwards, I will give you unlimited access to contact me, so that you and I can revise and extend your piece until you feel your piece is perfect. If you are a stickler for details and a perfectionist, I would not mind at all spending as much time as you need. I enjoy creating masterpieces as much as you do. My background is doing high-profile work for public consumption and scrutiny. All the best, predictor.

That is because I’m always advocating a lifestyle that is completely conflicting to dieting. During the dead-lift exercise, a trainee has to make an option between the traditional stance and the sumo stance. People are starting to lose their faith in all of these fad diets that they see on television and in magazines. They are realizing that these quick fix diets do not work and oftentimes leave the user with even worse problems. If you are one of the many that is trying to figure out how to get rid of the excess fat on your body and replace it with lean muscle, then you need to know the following information.
