I am qualified as a technical writer and have editing and proofreading experience. I am currently working via another site for an Australian client who sends me articles for an online journal written by translators. This work is challenging because none of these writers are native speakers of English. I am sure your writing would be a pleasure to work with after such articles! And I don't care that your country has just beat mine at cricket because I am not a fan of any sport.
I have just began co-writing blogs for my husband's new photography business and he is happy with my work. I also edit his articles and he knows that if he is several hundred words over the limit I will easily get the scalpel out and trim back the content. I generally focus on adding energy to his writing through the choice of different verbs. He and I enjoy working on articles together and we sometimes solicit the advice of our son, who is a linguist, is an excellent proofreader and although not a tech head, has more knowledge about such things than his parents.
I can supply samples of my writing and editing but I don't know how to do it via this site!
I am good at keeping accurate and honest records of time. I am also good at meeting deadlines as my regular work is transcribing, with work usually due within a day or two.
Hi, LET'S DISCUSS THE PROJECT DETAILS AND RATES ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS. I have thoroughly read through your project description and would love to assist you with this project. I am a conscientious, honest and hard worker and I have years of experience in the writing field completed. I always give 100% to every project I undertake. I love a challenge and always return fully , polished work within the set time frame. Employing my services will give you true value for money. I would be very appreciative of your consideration for this project. Thank you!
Hi! This seems like the kind of job I'd be great for. I have lots of blogging and marketing experience (I've written pitches, product descriptions and press releases for various companies) and I prefer building long-term relationships with clients wherever possible. In terms of what you need doing, I can help write or edit in any of those areas but my greatest strength and experience lies in creating web copy and blog posts. I have a good grasp of what people expect to see from a website and where to push against those expectations. I also have a good understanding of tech and the tech industry, so I should be able to work without constant guidance (although if you'd prefer to give constant guidance, that's fine too!).
A bit about me: I'm a freelance writer and editor working in all kinds of industries. I also do private tutoring so I'm used to speaking and writing for educational purposes if you require that kind of skill (for instance, when you have to get technical information across to an audience of laypeople).
I also have a question: How long, roughly, will each of the three articles you want published over Easter be?
Unfortunately, Freelancer doesn't give me enough space to rewrite your pitch! I hope I've been convincing but please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions about my work.
Thanks for reading!
Try Me!
1. Writing is my passion.
2. Creativity is my strength.
3. Timeliness is my priority.
4. I like to brainstorm and prepare an outline before writing on any topic so that the writing doesn't get strayed far from the topic.
5. As my educational background is English Medium, the basic knowlegde of proper english can be ensured in my writings.
I excel at removing unnecessary content without losing value or meaning. I have a wealth of variety in life experiences to draw upon and I completed a bachelor's in IT with a 3.75 and masters in IT with a 3.95. I keep getting better at research and I can explain what I have learned to people (regardless of topic) and regardless of the person's skillset, as long as the person wants to learn.
I am a writer looking to gain experience in the field. I am a native English speaker and my experience as a teacher and tutor have helped me improve at making complicated information understandable for people who might not know about the topics at hand. I enjoy this work very much and would love to find a way to partner on future articles.
Sincerely,
Tom
