Hi, I can do a really great job with editing your novel.

Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service for several years I have put in a fairly low bid in order to be competitive on Freelancer, but please don't wonder if this will affect the quality of the work.

For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Check your novel for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity/readability - Assist with plot structure/characterisation/originality - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job.

Hi there, I would love to help you make your manuscript shine! I have lived and worked all over the world, and bring this global perspective to my editing projects. In the past six months alone I have edited 13 full-length manuscripts, and have maintained a 5-star rating, while completing all my projects on time and within budget. I have been awarded the 'Preferred Freelancer' badge on this site, and my UK and US English test scores are both in the top 5%. I offer different tiers of editing, targeted to your specific needs: 1) Basic proofreading: Your novel is complete and you just need that final check to eliminate embarrassing spelling and typing errors. 2) Copy editing: You don’t need deep editing of the content of your manuscript, but require more than just a basic check of spelling and grammar. 3) Content editing: You require that all-important deep check of plot, flow and character development. This step perfects your story line. 4) A combination of the above. Based on your project description, I have bid on full level 4 editing, but will happily revise my bid to suit your specific requirements. A recent review from a delighted client: “She is amazing! She's personable, hardworking and incredibly knowledgeable about proofreading/editing. I hope to hire her numerous times in the future. Hire her! ” Thank you for considering my proposal. I hope we get to work together! Kind regards, Tracey

I am an English teacher, with a Master of Applied Linguistics. I am highly skilled in the areas of English spelling and grammar, and as a native speaker, will be able to ensure fluency of expression and accurate use of vocabulary throughout your work. I am also able to give advice regarding the content and flow of your work. You will notice that I have already edited a number of books, and as I am an Australian, I am no stranger to the rules that accompany the use of UK English. I will use the 'track changes' feature in Microsoft Word for all editing. Please consider me for this project and you will not be disappointed.

Hi, I would be happy to help. What is the subject matter of your book? I can assist you in 30 weekdays (Monday-Friday), but you may also let me know if you have specific deadline for the work. I have posted my initial bid, with the assumption that your budget is negotiable. If not, let me know that too. I am a certified professional and formally trained full-time freelance editor. I help clients edit, proofread, or format their written content or documents, such as books, e-books, corporate brochures, journal articles, company audit reports, web content, as well as master's and doctorate dissertations of student authors from a number of academic institutions, such as the Australian Institute of Business, Lehigh University, Monash University, University of Maryland, University of Melbourne, and Walden University, among others. Occasionally, I copyedit journal articles for the Forum Qualitative Sozialforschung | Forum: Qualitative Social Research, a nonprofit open journal online based in Berlin. Other times, I help some companies translate their written content from English to standard, crisp Filipino. I am familiar with the use of web-based applications (e.g., CMS) for updating web data and I can be skilled using specified style guide for carrying out editorial tasks. I hope I could be of help to you as well. Thank you for taking the time to review my proposal and profile. If you would have questions, just write back and I will respond shortly. Sincerely, Al

Good morning, I am a former journalist and marketing specialist with more than fifteen years of experience writing, editing and proofreading. As a freelancer, I have edited the gamut of material, from academic papers to cookbooks, as well as an extensive range of genres, from non-fiction to contemporary and young adult fiction. While I am from the US, I have edited several books utilizing UK English, and also write for a newspaper for a UK territory daily, which requires writing with the British style of writing. In my opinion, there are few things more frustrating than reading a great book that has grammar issues. It is an honor, but a considerable responsibility, to be trusted to smooth out a manuscript that an author has worked so hard to generate. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or would like to see any examples of my editing. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time and consideration, Mariah Patterson

These include editing and proofreading of books, plays, video game scripts, short stories, magazines, and more.

All edits are made using MS Word's track changes and comments features. I charge 1 cent (USD) per word. Your total for a 40,000 word manuscript would be £258. I have edited in both US and UK English in the past. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like any additional information. Warm Regards, Kathleen Price
