Hello,
I am a 35 year old American, living and working in France, with more than 16 years of experience working as a teacher, translator and editor/proof reader (my clients are both companies and individuals).
Previous editing/proofreading projects include fiction and non fiction novels, ebooks, websites, articles, theses, speeches, etc. I do also have experience working on content translated into English, which definitely adds another angle to the whole process and requires a bit more time bringing the words to life.
Besides the prerequisite checking/correcting of grammar, syntax, spelling and punctuation, my talent lies above all in my ability to polish, reformulate or sharpen any awkward sections, and then being able to tie these in to the rest of the text both seamlessly and authentically.
If you are on a tight schedule, I'd be able to complete the work in under 5 days. Otherwise, I would appreciate the extra time to be able to delve even deeper into the work.
I am highly professional, insightful, passionate and thorough. Naturally, I leave no stone unturned and pride myself in catching even the slightest flaw in the content and/or form. As an avid reader/writer with a methodical and organized mind, I'd be honored to put my experience to work on your project.
Please feel free to contact me for further details.
I look forward to hearing from you and discovering the topic of the book.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my proposal.
Kind regards,
Laure
