PLEASE READ FIRST BEFORE YOU PLACE A BID: I need copyediting for a 145K word novel. No rewriting required from your part, we just need you to ensure that there are no spelling errors and the grammar is Perfect as per US English standard. 1) Grammar Check 2) Spelling Check 3) Timeline checks 4) Inconsistency checks Everything will be kept confidential. You will not have any rights or claim to the book. We will sign a confidentiality and non-exclusivity contract. We own the rights to the book and all profits that will be derived from it. Your participation is only up to the extent of the editing although you will be mentioned in the credits and acknowledgement pages. This is a contemporary ROMANCE book so passion for reading romance books is a must. Timeline is between 3 to 4 weeks. We prefer someone whose mother tongue is American English. And somebody who's from the US to be able to check for cultural inconsistencies in the book. The setting of the book is US. PLEASE BID A FIXED PRICE. NOT AN INITIAL BID PRICE OR AN HOURLY RATE. THE BUDGET FOR THIS IS LOW AS THERE ARE TWO OTHER ROUNDS OF EDITING THAT WILL BE DONE AFTERWARDS.

I worked for Pocket Books/Simon & Schuster for over four years doing work akin to what you require. You seem to want mostly copy editing but some line editing as well. The editor I supported for much of that time worked with authors such as Linda Howard, Philippa Gregory, Jayne Ann Krentz and Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I did some freelance copy editing as well, mostly romance books. Given I also taught expository writing on the college level, among other things, I understand how to establish a rapport with an author as well.

I have read your description in detail. 1. I have previously worked with American authors. 2. I am aware of the American spelling and the nuances. 3. I line edit my work so, I am very thorough. 4. I do understand that the budget is low but it takes time to perform a good proofread and I would be concentrating on your project and not taking on additional work. 5. I have dealt with romance editing, so no issues there. 6. You will receive 2 copies upon completion, 1 tracked changes and 1 clean copy 7. Once I give a date of delivery, I ALWAYS deliver before or on the date. Thank you, Hemina

Hello, I consider myself a skilled writer that strives to make the customer happy and completely satisfied. Since I have excellent grammar and spelling capabilities, I am able to determine the concept that is trying to be shared by the customer. I then turn around and correct missing links or other errors and produce refreshed content that is plagiarism-free. No online rewriting tool is needed in this case. It is important to remember that the content of your business plan – not just the appearance – could be the first impression a prospective client may get. If the prospective customer receives a document that is full of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and inaccurate information it can give a poor impression of the presenting business. It would be my pleasure to help you get your content in optimal shape. Regards

Dear Employer, More than proofreading! My copyediting goes above and beyond correcting grammar to ensure smooth, clear, vivid flow of your ideas. I offer detailed, encouraging feedback and next steps for your story. My recent editing projects have included memoir, science fiction, and literary short stories. I also edit nonfiction, course assignments, web content, advertising copy, and more! Working line by line, I evaluate pacing and content and watch for phrasing that is awkward, ungrammatical, or unclear--while respecting your authorial voice. While I offer suggestions for improvement with Tracked Changes, I leave final revisions to you and your creative vision. I also offer proofreading (best for texts that have already been edited once). I aim for 24-hour turnaround. Longer manuscripts, more complex editing requirements, or orders from multiple clients may require more time. Your patience is appreciated.

Hi. I have read your project description and I believe that I can be of assistance. I have access to my own computer and I have a fast typing speed. I am a native English speaker and well educated up to Doctorate level with my degrees from the US. I may not be from the US but I have spent almost 7 years there during my studies therefore I am able to double check on any cultural references included in the book. I understand what the job requires and the quoted price is my flat fee. Once awarded, I will be copy typing on Google docs and I will share the link with you so that you can monitor my progress, if you want. Thank you.
