To Whom It Might Concern
Dear Hiring Manager,
Please consider the following:
Since most editors' task is to make a written work ready for publication, editors mostly focus on the content of such work and not necessarily on the form and the grammatical structure of it. As a result, some errors might remain unnoticed. That is where the role of a proofreader and copy-editor begins.
As a professional proofreader/copy-editor holding a bachelor’s degree in English and at least one proofreading certificate, I will scan your entire written work for any possibly unnoticed errors. On the first read, I will pay more attention to fact checking, making sure names, places and objects are spelled consistently throughout the work. Closer attention must also be given to spelling, grammatical and word-usage errors; for instance, the use of verb tense, adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, parallel structure, dangling modifiers, misplaced modifiers, subject-verb agreement, subject reference, pronoun reference, the use of quotes, bloc quotes, italics, numerals, headlines, titles and subtitles, hyphens, em-dashes and en-dashes, spaces, page layout, fonts, page-side margins, page numbers, images and captions (if any), reference citations (both in-text and reference-list citations), indexes (run-in index format), and so forth…
Regards
