CLOSED. Proofreader Needed (Helsinki/online)

Proofreader needed.

I am looking for an academic proofreader for a dissertation chapter editing. Correction of grammar, style and understandability. An editor don’t have to be highly qualified, but should have at least some experience in editing of academic texts, preferably in the humanities.
Requirements:
- Native level of English or close to native.
- High proficiency in English writing.
- Responsible and detail-oriented.
- Must respect deadlines.
I would need the editing completed and returned to me by 31/10/2013. It will be approximately 15 pages (about 5700 words). Further cooperation is possible.

Please, send me your details and price to dia-mi@ya.ru

You should give a general indication of the subject area (IT, medical, legal, scientific, music????) and maybe state which application you are using (MS Word?).

If you don't find anyone on here, you could try contacting www.finnbrit.fi as they have native speakers who regularly do thesis proofreading (I have done some in the past but am too busy at the moment). I would strongly recommend you choose a native speaker or, if you take a non-native speaker, ask to see some proof of their proficiency (eg an IELTS score of 8.0 or above in writing)
