Project Summary:
I need my first book (80-85.000 words now)proofread, grammar checked, and formatted completely. This means a complete grammar check (and editing it until it is). The book is about Linux, so it would be good if you have a technical background or published technical books before.
More Details:
An example or two of your past published work is much appreciated as well as any credentials.
The book is fully written now. It just needs to be worked through to check for spelling, grammatical issues, and formatting. The book also contains an alphabetical index which needs to be improved too (and should get a second alphabetical index too).
Now it is written in an Openoffice Word document, which can be edited with Microsoft Word or Openofice. The formatting is ok now, but it should all become more consistent and the result should look like a professional book (not like a word document), thus needs to publishing and formatting skills (or tools).
Please be a native English speaker.

Greetings,
I've technically qualified and English is my native language. Though I'm an Indian but my family has English cultural background. I offer my services for both the books at $180 + Freelancer fees = $200 is what you pay.
Effectively, my bid is 80 for the first book and 100 for the second.
My past credentials with Freelancer are:

https://www.freelancer.com/projects/Graphic-Design-Copywriting/Convert-simple-text-style-font.html
I look forward working on this project.
Proofing and formatting a book on Linux would be very interesting to me. I have been writing both technical, research and creative documents for most of my career. English is the only language I know and I believe both my written and oral communications are well above average.
Samples of technical writing (specifications, etc.) can be viewed in my portfolio. I have a lot more samples if you're interested.
Best of luck with your project.

Hi, so I know it's a bit more than you're budget but I figure if it's your first book - you want to do it right. Whether you pick me or not, don't for goodness' sake, pick anyone who doesn't have 100% in either US English 1 or UK English 1. The questions it asks is stuff my kids can do. Their vs there; it's vs its.
Here's what I offer: a thorough proofread. 80k words is a lot by the way and would probably take the better part of two days (such work is part of my job, so I know what I'm talking about).
Formatting into a book format can be simple or complicated, depending on where you want to publish it. I'm an expert at InDesign and I can give you a typeset book for printing or an ebook or both - something to think about or talk about if you're interested in hiring me.
Hope to hear from you.
Cheers,
Colin
