Hi there,
This project sounds urgent. If you are still looking for a freelancer for this, I'd be happy to help you. I can complete it in 2 hours, and have it back to you polished and proofread. I have many years of experience in proofreading and editing, and I have a keen eye for grammar, punctuation, spelling, as well as improving the wording and sentence structure in essays and stories.
That being said, what exactly do you need for this project? A simple proofread, or a line edit as well? I can do both in the span of two hours if that's what you need. (A line edit consists of editing the writing for clarity, consistency, style, voice, etc). In the milestones, I've separated the two so that you can get a chance to look over the material I edited in #1 before I proofread (#2). If you aren't sure what you require, I'd be happy to discuss it with you.
You can send me approximately 100 words for a free, no-obligation sample edit. I'll have that done in no time and then you can ask me any questions about my work.
Good luck with your essay! I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Abigail S.
