E. J. on 23/07/2009 09:39Hello
I live in Spain and have proofread a number of documents. However, are you willing to employ people from Spain? Are you willing to re negotiate the membership application (at the moment it is set of members only)?
Kindest Regards
Emma
S. W. on 23/07/2009 09:53Hi,
This sounds like the perfect project for me and I have lots of relevant experience. I would love to bid for it but unfortunately I am not a premium member - is there any chance you would reconsider the restricted bidding status?
It sounds like a fascinating opportunity and I hope to get the chance to be involved.
Many thanks,
Sarah
J. W. on 23/07/2009 10:53Hi
My job ensures that I proof read daily and copyedit text. I also copywrite a number of different texts to ensure a key message throughout.
I would love to work with this project but I am not a gold member.

C. H. on 23/07/2009 11:20This sounds right up my street as I proofread and improve copy of often quite complex documents everyday as part of my normal employment, however I am not a gold member.
Would you consider changing this setting at all?

S. H. on 23/07/2009 11:51You're obviously looking for an excellent writer/editor and proofreader combined, all of which are real strengths of mine.
Like many people who would like to apply for this, however, I am not yet a gold member - but this in no way detracts from my ability to deliver quality work on time and to budget.
Would you consider widening your scope?
D. D. on 24/07/2009 12:55Hello
I'm interested in your project. I am a writer and editor with 15 years experience of working in publishing, copy editing and handling words.
Can you tell me what the subject matter of text is?
Also is this a copywriting job or mainly a proofreading job?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Douglas
J. H. on 24/07/2009 13:36I too have 10 years of experience in writing, with around half of that spent as a page designer and sub-editor. But alas, I'm a standard member! I would be happy to talk to you about this project if only I could bid for it :-(
A. S. on 24/07/2009 14:41Hi there - as echoed by other potential bidders, I have the experience and am sure I could deliver the goods for this one, but I'm not a Premium member ... . are you prepared to rethink this at all? Kind regards
J. L. on 24/07/2009 15:27Hi there, seems a very interesting project!
Can you explain the subject matter and whether the text is already in e-mailable Word doc format?
Thanks,
John
B. H. on 24/07/2009 21:34Hi I would be very interested in this project I am an ex English Teacher.
I have just joined people per hour and this would be my first project. I am just a standard member and hope this would not go against me.
C. R. on 27/07/2009 09:24Hello,
I am a native English freelance copywriter. I am interested in finding a bit more about this project.
Kind Regards

N. V. on 27/07/2009 14:14Hi Koen,
I am a native English copywriter with excellent proof-reading skills and editing skills.
As I am a standard member of PPH could you perhaps invite me to bid please.
Best Regards
M. F. on 27/07/2009 16:53I too am a lowly Standard Member. Please consider relaxing this restriction, because even a Standard Member might be the kind of pedant you need, viz.:
>Wanted: English copywriter - who likes to work from home in August & September
Rephrase - 'willing to work from home'
>Are you
>- A reliabe, native English speaker with a knack for reviewing text?
Spelling - reliable
>- Willing to proofread and improve about 200 pages of English text?
>Then we
>- Offer a flexible job in August and September you can do from home
Insert - 'September which you can do from home'
>- Offer excellent remuneration
>Interested? The next step is to get in contact so we can discuss the opportunity
Rephrase - 'get in touch' or 'is to contact us'
That piece of text also requires 3 full stops.
K. S. on 27/07/2009 17:32Thanks for you comment.
I'm new to this platform and am looking how to open the project for standard users since there seems to be a limit as to how many providers you can invite to bid.
A few notes:
- Especially in the beginning of August we consider a capacity to copywrite a volume of 8000 to 10000 words per week as very important; could you please confirm this poses no problem?
- Can you give an indication as to your free capacity (in words per week) in August and September? Have you any holiday plans this period?
- We would start sending you text blocks as from beginning of August and would expect a a weekly feedback.
- After your capacity confirmation and before giving a final go we would like you to copywrite a few pages to get confirmation it will work for the both of us

K. S. on 27/07/2009 17:42The project should now be open to bid on for standard users as well.
H. S. on 28/07/2009 12:09I am a British Journalist with PR and Copywriting experience and have written a comprehensive dissertation in the past, and would be interested in finding out more about this project.
J. C. on 30/07/2009 07:14Hi Koen
I'm wondering if you're able to lift your restriction on residence in the UK, as I'm confident I'd be a great fit for your needs.
I'm a professional writer from Australia who happens to be stuck on an island off the Caribbean coast of Honduras - for at least August and September!
The economy here has just been officially pronounced dead, but I find I do still need to eat! So I'll happily dedicate all my energies to the project, turn it around with stunning speed, and be available for up to 3 re-writes in response to any feedback.
As a writer, I'm a classic 'all-rounder', but of outstanding quality. I'm able to proofread, edit copy and edit structure, as well set pages asizzle with evocative copy - whether in sales, academic, or journalistic contexts.
Please open the bidding to other regions and I'll submit a bid immediately.
Hope to be in touch, Jay Chubb.
