Hi Vanthrone,
We have been in touch about an editing project before so it's nice to have the opportunity to bid on one of your projects again.
If you will remember from our previous conversations, I am a professional writer and editor with a particular interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) manuscripts. As you will see from my website (google Lisa A Martin Freelance), I have plenty of editorial experience and have worked with native and non-native English speakers from around the world to help improve a variety of documents including academic manuscripts, policy reports, web copy, CVs/resumes, formal letters, e-books, business plans and much more.
I usually charge by the hour, rather than by the word, since the quality of the original document can really affect the length of time it takes to edit. Therefore, my fixed-price bid for this project is based on an estimate that a 4000 word document would take approximately 4 hours to edit. You had previously commented that you felt my hourly rate was too high, but I would love the opportunity to demonstrate the quality of my work and that "you get what you pay for" in the hope that we might work together again in the future.
If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact me via the Freelancer messaging system.
I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Thanks and kind regards,
Lisa A Martin
