Proof read business/self-help manuscript
I'm looking for an experienced freelance editor and proofreader with subject matter expertise (SME) in financial markets to work on my business/self-help manuscript. This is an updated and upgraded edition of an existing published book, so the editor must be comfortable working within an established framework while helping sharpen and modernise the content. This is not a quick proofread—I need someone who understands financial markets deeply enough to flag inaccuracies, outdated information, and inconsistencies while also elevating the writing quality throughout. What I need: • Proofreading (grammar, punctuation, spelling, consistency) • Line editing (clarity, flow, sentence structure) • Subject matter review — flagging any financial content that needs updating, clarification, or fact-checking • Feedback on tone and readability for a business/finance audience What I'm looking for in you: • Demonstrable expertise in financial markets (trading, investing, capital markets, or related fields) • Experience editing business, finance, or self-help non-fiction • A portfolio or samples of previous finance-related editing work • Strong attention to detail, clear communication, and ability to meet deadlines To apply, please share your background in financial markets, relevant editing samples, your estimated turnaround, and your rate. Quality is my priority, and I'm happy to discuss the budget with the right candidate. Looking forward to finding a true professional who brings both editorial and financial expertise to this project.

I’m looking for someone to convert a 140 page word document that includes a detailed table with about 100 rows that contain complicated legal text that includes contract mark-ups and strikethroughs in different font colours.

I need it converted from Word to Excel and fully formatted so that it replicates the Word document perfectly. I need it done in 24 hours.

Native English Editor for Education Magazine
Education Edit is an international editorial publication focused on the human side of schools. The writing is long-form, with a precise, controlled tone. We need a native English editor to review a 10-page teaser (media kit). The text is already strong. What it needs is a careful edit to make sure the phrasing feels natural and consistent, and that nothing reads as slightly off. This is an editorial edit, not a rewrite. Turnaround is 48 hours. Please include your quote for this task. There is potential for ongoing work as the publication develops. We are looking for someone with strong editorial judgement, someone who knows when to change a sentence and when to leave it alone. Journalism or magazine experience preferred. British English standard. As part of your application, please edit the short paragraph below. Keep changes minimal and explain briefly what you changed and why. Most coverage of education focuses on systems, data and policy. Education Edit focuses on people: the teachers making decisions in difficult rooms, the leaders navigating what no manual covers, and the moments that shape students and staff but never appear in official reports. To apply, send a short note on how you approach editing, your quote for the first task, and your edited version of the paragraph above with brief comments.

I need an essay editing and proofreading
Due to a high volume of work I'm unable to keep up with my part time studies so require an essay to be edited in the following ways: - References edited to be Harvard style (bibliography is ready, just needs formatting) - Word count reduction where possible. - General editing of SPG, any poor syntax etc. Ideally I would like to do this via tracked changes but if not I can do a document comparison at the end instead. Please contact me to discuss any points further and with a quote if possible. Many thanks.
