Good day,
I am a former head of a proofreading department turned freelancer. Because of my experiences working with an author’s submission service and as a freelance proofreader, I will give you valuable assistance in making your work as perfect as possible before it goes into print.
My experiences with proofreading and working with such a varied group of writers make me an ideal candidate for the available editing and proofreading position.
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.
My bid is based on the one chapter, not the entire book. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to working with you.
Best,
Joi
