Paid on delivery
I'm looking for an editor to help with voice & flow in my first attempt at a fiction novel. The genre is dystopian, a young woman's journey of survival after an EMP attack. I'm still wrapping up the first draft and have to go back through it to clean up a little. It's around 115,000 words. I hope to have a quick turnaround time. I will be self-publishing with CreateSpace.

As a proofreader and editor, I am experienced and knowledgeable, with an eye for details. I have the tenacity and predilection to proofread and edit books, magazines, websites, as well as publications aimed at special audience such as academic writing journals or business reports. With a PhD in English as well as years of experience in curriculum design and teaching writing at various levels, I am skilled and knowledgeable in all types of proofreading and editing tasks. When it comes to editing and proofreading, I make sure that: The text is free of errors like typos, misspellings, grammatical mistakes, and punctuation errors. The content is engaging and readable to the readers’ retina. Style and tone is correct. Everything in the text conforms to the acceptable editing standards. I will provide you with 2 MSWord files upon completion, first one with the highlighted proofread version( so that you can figure out the proofreading) and the second with the accepted changes version (the final document). You can fully count on me and I am looking forward to working with you. Thanks

Dear Client, I am an experienced line editor and copy editor, and I occasionally take projects from this job board. I can be available to turn this around in a short space of time for you and to a high quality. I am a native UK English speaker, and as I am based in the UK I am on GMT. From your project description it sounds like you need a line edit, to address flow and voice, blending and pacing. This kind of edit does not address technical issues with the writing, for that you would need a copy edit, and they are two different processes. The copy edit is the last thing done before publishing and is a separate edit. Let me know if you would like me to work on line editing your novel. Regards, Claire.

My name is Jennifer and I'd be very interested in serving as your editor. Although I'm brand new to freelancer.com, I've been editing fiction on a professional basis for more than six years, specializing in fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. I have a real passion for working with novelists to help them find the full potential in their manuscripts, and I also take a lot of pleasure in building longstanding relationships with the authors and publishers who I take on as clients. Although my normal charge is actually 6.00 per thousand words, plus fees, I've offered to take on your project for only 4.00 per thousand words because I am just starting to work on freelancer.com. I realize how scary it can be to trust someone with your work, and I realize you'd be taking a chance on hiring someone without a real profile on this system. That said, I would be glad to send you a link to my upwork reviews, where I've completed over a hundred jobs and earned a stellar reputation. Regardless, I'd certainly be glad to answer any questions you might have, so please don't hesitate to get in touch. I love working with dystopian writing, so I do hope you'll consider my proposal. All my best, Jennifer

Hi! I am a huge fan of the teen dystopian genre - I have read all books possible in the area (not just the hunger games). I have a lot of experience with writing and editing and am an avid reader - I would love to have the chance to read your book and help you with editing the same. I hope to hear back from you soon! Best, Aparna

I'm a professional writer, editor, copywriter, proofreader, rewriter, who is reliable, efficient and passionate about my work, and this project as I'm a big reading can have this done for you ASAP! As I have a love for reading, I actually enjoy proofreading and would easily notice misspelling or punctuation errors, I would love for you to contact me to discuss this further!

I would love the opportunity to work with you on your project! I am an award winning author and hold a B.A. in English. I have beta read and edited for a number of best selling authors in the past. I have also worked for a literary agent, as well as a content editor for a small publishing house. I have a quick turn around time and meet deadlines with no problems. Content editing is my strong suit, but I have also line edited and copy edited in the past. I would utilize track changes and the comment section of your manuscript to provide you with guidance in order to make your book the best it can be. I believe you are the author of your work and it is not my job to change the plot, characters, etc. I am here to be a guide and I would love to help you! Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your time.

I bring a unique perspective to the table as I've had experience not only writing fiction, but also in original business writing and academic writing. I understand how much work you've put into this and want to do everything I can to ensure your vision comes true. I not only want to help you edit your work, but I guarantee that I'll become just as emotionally invested in the success of the novel as you.
