I'm looking for a proofreader for my book manuscript. The manuscript is roughly 113,000 words (including endnotes). Ideally, I'd like someone who has a strong background in editing or proofing academic (history related) manuscripts. My book explores events in American history, related to secondary education, student protests, and the experiences of Black students in the US. I welcome proposals for proofing! Thank you!

Good afternoon I'm a professional academic proofreader. I was a postgraduate lecturer in English and Linguistics for 10 years and was in charge of submissions for my university for the final two years of my tenure. I have a Master's in Linguistics and a wealth of experience working with long, technical academic manuscripts - I must have helped students with somewhere around 1000 different PhD submissions during my time. I've worked with Chicago before - I offer a full check of all content, including endnotes, but my main focus is language, consistency, tone and academic formatting. Get in touch - I provide free consultations and sample edits, as it's good for my clients to get to know me a bit first! Thank you very much Simon Richardson

Hi - I'm happy to proofread your history manuscript as I'm a professional English proofreader with extensive experience in linguistics and writing. I've helped a lot of clients polish and refine their manuscripts (fiction and non-fiction), business documents, books, novels, novellas, ebooks, short stories, blog posts, articles, presentations, etc. Besides ensuring a document is error free, I pay attention to clarity and coherence, i.e. transitions between ideas. I also do some moderate and/or substantive editing, where necessary, to avoid ambiguity. Also, I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects but I may keep a copy of your document on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. Finally, the finished product will include two copies of the edited text—one that shows the changes (a copy with MS Word Track Changes on), and one that incorporates all of the changes made. PS. I hold a BA in English Language and Literature and currently teach IELTS (writing). Looking forward to editing and proofreading your book manuscript! Emily.

Hello, I consider myself a skilled writer that strives to make the customer happy and completely satisfied. Since I have excellent grammar and spelling capabilities, I am able to determine the concept that is trying to be shared by the customer. I then turn around and correct missing links or other errors and produce refreshed content that is plagiarism-free. No online rewriting tool is needed in this case. It is important to remember that the content of your business plan – not just the appearance – could be the first impression a prospective client may get. If the prospective customer receives a document that is full of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and inaccurate information it can give a poor impression of the presenting business. It would be my pleasure to help you get your content in optimal shape. Regards

To Whom It May Concern: I am a professional copy editor and proofreader with over seven years of experience, some of which can be found in my portfolio here on Freelancer. I specialize in the Chicago Manual of Style, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Editions, and I have edited for publishers who use this style in the past. While I can provide certifications and references from Freelancer clients, I prefer to do sample edits to make sure I’m a good fit for a project. I’m willing to sign a nondisclosure agreement before I see any part of your history manuscript. I charge a flat rate of $0.004 per word for editing and proofreading manuscripts above 100,000 words, and I can have 113,000 words completed within ten days of contract acceptance. That would be a total of $452. I’m willing to work with milestones for portions of the manuscript if you would feel more comfortable with that. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing a sample if you decide I may be a good fit for this position. Thank you for your time and consideration! Sincerely, Nadene Seiters

Congratulations on completing your manuscript! I think I'm the right person to help you through the editing process. I have 11+ years of experience in editing/ghostwriting, but the most important is the work I've done in academia: 3 years managing the Department of Research and Academic Programs, Newberry Library (Chicago). During this time, my "sidejob" was editing the visiting scholars' manuscripts, including books and essays of historical analysis (esp. American union histories) and also literature-based scholarship. This side job was one reason I became a full-time freelancer! Since this time, I've edited academic works of all topics, from dental anthropology to the latest Arden editions of Shakespeare. However, I'm most fond of historical scholarship, like I used to do for the fellows and scholars at the Newberry. Lastly, I am very comfortable and experienced in Chicago Manual of Style. Please feel free to read my reviews here. I don’t do a lot of work on Freelancer.com, but I have enough reviews here for you to see that my clients are always very pleased with my work for them. If you choose to work with me, you'll be glad, too! If you reach out through chat, I’d love to discuss the project with you. Thank you for considering me! And good luck on the bookwriting adventure. Sincerely, Anna
