Hi, I'm a South African editor currently based in Guatemala. I've been working in the South African educational publishing industry since 2001 and have extensive experience in editing different genres, including YA fiction. Fantasy is a particular favorite of mine (I worship Neil Gaiman). Not only are my editing skills excellent but I'm also great at dealing with writers, remaining diplomatic and patient throughout the process. I'd love to work on this project with you and would be happy to edit a few pages first, as a sample, so you can decide whether we'd be a good match. Looking forward to hearing from you! Kind regards Linell

Hey, I am looking to start back up on this site after a period of inactivity. My English Test 3 score puts me in the top 1% of everyone who has passed the test, and I always finish my work on time. If you would like a sample edit, I would be happy to review a small segment of your book free of charge. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to let me know and I will get back to you as quickly as possible. Thanks for your consideration!

Good day SIr/Madame I would like to take part in your project. As an experienced editor and fiction writer, wiith a taste for dark fantasy, I think I can be of help to you, especially because I am a no-nonsense person so if suspension of disbelief goes too far I am not going to lie to you. Please, let me know what would be the general tone and atmosphere of the script, and what "PEGI" rate you mean to give it. I hope to receive soon a positive answer and that we can collaborate together on the project. Best regards Michele Anoardi

As a skilled content editor, an avid reader of fantasy YA novels, and an writer working on her own Fantasy YA novel, I have a well-rounded and comprehensive depth of experience that would ensure I'd be the best editor for your work. I know both sides of writing and editing, and thus can provide high quality editing without losing the flavor of your novel, with the most important aspect being remaining in line with your vision. My bid is based on your 90,000 word count, which assumes around 300 pages (300 words/page), and 5 pages/hour at a rate of $20/hour. This comes to $1200, and adding Freelancer.com's fees, my bid comes to $1333. Please let me know if you have any questions, I hope to work with you on bringing your novel to life!

After a lifetime in business I'm close to completing a bachelor degree in environmental science. With only two units to be done this semester, I have ample time for my passion of writing! I revel in the thrill of mixing and matching words to create text that inspires, convinces and compels.......yes, I have confidence in my ability to turn sluggish prose into content with real bankable impact. I'm attentive to the particular needs of my clients and I believe you will find me easy to work with.

Hi. I have some experience with editing fantasy novels and I'm a young adult who happens to love them. I've edited a fantasy novel for a portuguese author (portuguese is my native language but I'm fluent in english). I don't mind fussy writers and I think I'm the right person to help you. If you'd like to test my editing style I could edit 1-3 sample pages for you (for free) to see if I'm the editor you are looking for. Feel free to contact me with any doubts.

Hello! First of all, congratulations on finishing your novel! It's a huge accomplishment, and I would love to help you refine and edit it. I'm an editor with 6 years of experience; I currently work as a developmental editor in young adult, new adult, and romance. I've worked with indie press and selfpub authors, as well as working for a literary agency (Harvey Klinger) as an editorial reader in YA. I bring a collaborative spirit to the project, and I love fussiness; I'm a perfectionist myself, and I totally respect that this is your vision and the finished project must be perfect. My job is to hold up a mirror to your process and help you refine the expression of your thoughts. I synthesize big picture concerns about structure, plot, and theme with the detail work of sentence structure and word choice so that your manuscript is treated as a cohesive whole. I have proposed a structure below that I think will allow us to work back and forth and grow a productive creative relationship. The first chapter allows us to get a feel for each other; the subsequent thirds allow me to really dig into the nitty gritty of the story. The final milestone is an editorial letter. The EL is a staple of the publishing industry and allows me to treat your work as a whole and discuss overarching themes. This sounds like an exciting project, and I would love to discuss it more with you. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Julie

Greetings! I am the content editor you want for Fantasy Young Adult novel. I am an English Professor at a college in the Atlanta area.

I understand young people, their interests, and reading habits. As an English Professor, I am well-versed in the tropes, conventions, and construction of the young adult fantasy novel. I know that the most important part of collaboration is communication. I have a strong and confident manner and will help you produce your best work possible. Do not hesitate to ask me any questions.

I have over five years' experience working as an editor for online publishers. In that time, I edited YA Fantasy. I am familiar with the genre, which will be a bonus if you choose me to work with. Not only will I make sure your voice remains in tact throughout the process, I will make sure your plot, your world building, and your character arcs are all cohesive and consistent. For the project itself, I would edit using the track change function in MS Word, which will enable you to find the edits easily and make comments back to me. For this fee, I will do two edits, the first would be to you within 10 days. I absolutely love working with authors, and the YA genre is one of my favorite. Please contact me, if you are interested, so that we may discuss your needs for this project in detail. Thank you. Greta Gunselman
