Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
We are currently translating a book ,football related (soccer) from Danish - English and we need a native Uk proof reader with substantial experience in this field and preferably with some football knowledge to proofread the book as our translator completes each chapter.
The problems are sentence structure and some terms used where football terms should be i.e. football, transfer, etc, non Americanised language
It will eventually be published and sold around UK and Europe so British/European football terms should be used.
I can send the first few chapters to interested parties for your review so that you can make a bid if required.
There are approximately 14 chapters in total with the word count being approx. 92,000 words. The first 3 chapters won’t need too much work but we presently have chapters 4-8 completed and ready for proofreading.
The time taken on each chapter will vary as the word count does. That said I can’t imagine that it would take anymore than 30mins – 1hr to proofread each chapter although don’t quote me on that, I am available to your suggestions.
I look forward to hearing from potential freelancers.
