I registered with Freelancer in February this year and have 37 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading.
I have ongoing freelance work editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters.
My recent work has included rewriting a 24,500-word book to change it from a children's book to one suitable to be read by adults, and the result was described by the client as "perfect". A couple of months ago I completed rewriting a 60,000-word motivational book and received a very good review.
Other recent work has included proofreading five theses, as well as individual chapters of academic writing
For two years I was a copy editor for Elsevier Science Publishers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, rewriting text by authors who were not native English speakers.
I have worked with individual clients to bring 12 books to publication and three of these clients have rehired me to work on a second book.
Having been a teacher of English in high school for several years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays.
