Dear Prospective Client:
Thank you for the opportunity to offer you a proposal. I am Professor Emeritus at Purdue University, have a PhD in marketing from the University of Minnesota and published over 200 peer-reviewed articles in SCI journals, and possess 40+ years' experience in researching, writing, editing, and publishing my own work and other's in business- and non-business-related disciplines. Moreover, I have worked with individuals from across the globe in geographically-distant and face-to-face contexts.
My co-authors have been faculty members, as well as PhD and master's students, from the U.S. and Europe and such countries as Mexico, Canada, Korea, Japan, China, India, Taiwan, Egypt, Iraq, and Iran. Accordingly, I have extensive experience editing work from both native-English language and ESL authors.
Admittedly, most editors do superlative work. What distinguishes me from many editors, however, are the following characteristics: extensive experience with graduate theses, numerous publications of academic work in SCI journals, keen familiarity and experience with the academic-publishing process, co-authorships with colleagues from various disciplines in the social sciences, and acute knowledge of requisite writing and jargon for academic publishing.
I am somewhat uncertain about the specifics of your assignment. Therefore, the fee and time duration can be adjusted upon our chat. I hope that we will be working together. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Alan
