Australian Proofreader Required

Hello!!! I know you only wanted Australians, but I just couldn't resist and had to try. I've gone through your description and feel I would be the ideal editor for you. I offer the attention to detail you require and I'm dedicated to my work. I'm also a native English speaker who can read and write in either American or British English as I've lived in both places. I normally charge $2.5 US for every 1000 words I edit. Feel free to contact me for samples of my previous work and I'll reply promptly as I am always close to my computer. Would love to show you what I'm capable of. Hopefully, I'll get a response from you soon. Looking forward to working with you.

Hello, my name is San (Sally-Anne to my father). I apologise for the lateness of this bid. I’m new to freelancer.com and was still finding my way around it before listing, but I was so attracted to your proofreading job that I fast-tracked to get on. Initially the site wouldn’t let me bid, in the mistaken belief I had already made 304 bids since I had listed a few hours earlier. (I appreciate their faith in my abilities.) I am an experienced communicator with strong marketing and editing skills. In relation to your work, I have written or edited tenders, proposals and marketing materials for large organisations (such as Optus and the ATO) and small businesses (eg Kadec, a B2B IT retailer in Melbourne). My experience is much broader and I can assure you of a quality proofread for your client documents. To establish my reputation on freelancer.com I am offering a discounted rate of $35/hr (plus fee), which I would hold for ongoing work for 12 months if you choose to use me. I don’t easily have examples for you because for the past few years I was one-fifth of the senior editorial team with ATO publishing branch, responsible for 50 of the top web documents and major marketing campaign materials. With Kadec I am collaborating on a revamp of their current website and developing the content for a regular email marketing program, to be launched in a few months. (I was intending to elaborate further, but the site seems to have a length limit. Happy to tell you more later.)

Hello. I am Ayana. This project is perfect for me. Hear me out. After a few years in the modeling industry, I decided to pursue writing as a career. I love writing about a wide variety of topics. I currently attend UCLA as a Sociology major and English minor (3rd year). I have an extremely broad knowledge of vocabulary words through many years of my love for writing and reading. I am absolutely determined and eager to start this project with you. You will not be disappointed I assure you. Thanks for the consideration my friend.

Hi there, I'm a Melbourne based creative professional and academic tutor with impeccable presentation skills. I have edited, proofread and marked thousands of student papers, and I often prepare reports and presentations for my small consulting business. I think I could be a great fit for your role as I have a high attention to detail, understand creative documents, and am fluent in both UK and US English.

Hello and howdy from bloody cold at the moment, Melbourne! I have only just signed with Freelancer so I am just learning the ropes. I am a principal in the state school system and have spent many years editing the work of both students and teachers. I have a good knowledge of English and am a bit pedantic about spelling and grammar. I am that annoying person who goes into shops and points out the mistakes in their signs. Especially possessive apostrophes! I am not sure about what you mean when you say send examples so I will just include a passage about myself culled from my last job application. I am sure that a number of good potential principals will apply to run your school but I offer a unique record of experience and success in a variety of schools, private and public sector, in several states of Australia and nationally. I have held senior education roles in NSW, Tasmania and Victoria. I have also been successful in a major national role: I was the Executive Director of Children’s Services for ABC Developmental Learning with over 900 early childhood education centres in Australia and New Zealand. As well as bringing robust financial management to schools, I have been successful in developing and implementing programs for children with special talents and children with learning difficulties, disabilities and social problems. I have a powerful track record of success across many educational situations that very few principals can match. There you go. Anne

As you are working with international clients, it seems important to have someone with international experience proofreading your documents. I believe I can bring this international experience to your projects, drawing on my previous work experience and educational background in the United Kingdom and the United States to ensure your materials are edited in a manner that reflects their audience.

Thanks for the opportunity to submit a proposal for this job. I understand you are looking for someone to proofread documents before sending them to clients. I'm happy to offer my services for your project. I’m an Australian local and a native Australian English speaker who is also familiar with US and UK varieties. I can identify issues and suggest corrections and improvements to spelling, grammar, tone, accuracy and consistency of your written content. I have been creating, editing, updating and publishing quality written documents over my ten years as a business analyst and technical writer. I believe there is no substitute for good, engaging, consistent and accurate copy that is well targeted to its audience. Beside my work experience, I’m currently expanding my skills in writing and editing and proofreading, through my studies in the Certificate IV of Professional Writing and Editing. I’m well acquainted with proofreading and editing practice in industry in Australia, including the use of proofreading and copyediting symbols on hard copy manuscripts, or of 'track changes' and comment functions in the most commonly-available word processing packages. Please review my profile page for writing and editing samples. I can provide more on request. I'd be happy to assist you on your project based on the rate provided. Don't hesitate to contact me should you have any queries. Thank you for taking the time to review my proposal!

I have previously completed report proof reading tasks whilst working in an office environment as an Internal Auditor/Analyst. I have a high level of attention to detail, and I am a hardworking individual. I am currently on maternity leave from my role as a Regional Manager and I am looking to gain some experience as a freelancer. I can assure you that I will work to the best of my ability; to ensure that the task is done to the highest level of completion, as I have high expectations of myself and aim to gain repeat customers from a high quality of work provided.

Hello, I am very interested in your proofreading position available. I am a 29-year-old Australian with several years of proofreading experience. I have worked predominantly with PhD dissertations and journal articles, but I also enjoy working on more casual writing styles such as blog posts and creative writing. I am currently living in London - I'm not sure if you were specifically looking for someone residing in Australia, or if living overseas is acceptable. I am happy to have conversations and meetings over Skype if ease of communication is a concern. Let me know if you have any other questions, and I thank you very much for considering my application. Regards, Cameron Sanderson

I am very interested in the position of proofreader. I have extensive experience in freelance editing and proofreading and a keen eye for detail. As requested in your brief, I am Australian but I am also very familiar with UK and US English. I have completed an editing course through the University of Wisconsin, which reinforced my knowledge of US English and I have done freelance editing and proofreading for a number of US based organisations. At present, I have no other projects happening so I would be able to commit my time to your project and work within required deadlines. My main editing and proofreading tool is Microsoft Office Track Changes but I also use Adobe Acrobat for pdf documents. Please feel free to contact me for further information or if you have any queries. Yours sincerely, Joanna Chalmers
