$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I have a 50 page ebook draft completed. Here's what I need: 1) Copy-edit my ebook and produce a clean, final version ready for publication to Amazon, Smashwords, B&N, and any other major publication site. I am looking for not only grammar edits, but also revisions for any current awkward sections of text. By final version, I mean the format required by the various book platforms (Amazon, Smashwords, B&N, etc.). 2) Assist me in actually publishing this ebook to sites such as Amazon, Smashwords, and any other major site where it can (and should) be sold. 3) Create a really "punchy" description for the ebook that will attract buyers. Something like what is used in the Introduction section in Amazon. 4) Help me understand how to optimize the loading of my ebook into these sites such as Amazon in order to create the biggest draw to my ebook (example: are there certain procedures that can be applied which will result in my ebook gaining greater visibility?) *Contractor must be a true wordsmith with the english language, both written and spoken.

Hi, "mruddmann" - I am a full-time professional proofreader and editor who is audience-oriented, thread-oriented, always expecting nice, tight tracing of characters, plotlines and gotchas! Daytime genre is a bit dry: technical guides, work instructions, SOPs, and the like. I also train and mentor other writers, reviewers, and proceduralists in this discipline. Evening genre is favored towards writing / reading / proofing and editing writers of / science fiction, science fantasy, "paranormal" fantasy (witches-wizards-vampires-shape shifters-and the like) and historical fiction / fantasy. Each of these genres typically has a plotline, both action and romantic, heavily entwined in the content; it is what makes these genres go! Please read my private message for further details. Thank you. - "raucoin"

Hi, I write, edit, and format E-books for Smashwords, Amazon, and E Pub so I am definitely the right person to do this without a doubt. I am also an editor for an audio book company. You can check my own e book that I wrote for myself which is currently on Smashwords and Amazon as well. Type my name in (Robyn Quinn, and it is an inspirational e book about hope) I also can help you quite a bit with finding out how to draw in readers, marketing, and plenty of other advice, which I looked for and found myself recently. I also have lots of people, authors, and Indie publishers following me on Twitter and I don't really know how they found me...except for the way in which I "branded" myself, which is another marketing technique. I would be delighted to help you with this. The reason why it takes so long, is not because of my ability, but because Smashwords takes quite a while to accept your work and even longer to get it distributed. I can edit it and format it within a few days at the most.

The following proposal is for the posted job entitled "Proofread, edit and help publish ebook to sites", job # 2479290 on the Freelancer website. I appreciate the opportunity to bid on your work, and the outline of my proposal is what follows. The project you have submitted requires copy-editing an ebook and preparing it for final production. Moreover there are components to helping advertise the book by creating a description. My approach would be to collaborate with the author, read the book, then edit a few pages for approval. Once approved, I would continue and finish the editing process while concurrently working on the book description for marketing purposes. As you can see in detail from my profile, I am academically trained in English and Education. My skills in these areas were honed in graduate school, my 5 years of teaching various high school English courses, as well as teaching several college courses. I also have extensive experience in marketing and sales. All these skills would be useful as leverage in the construction of your project. My two years as a freelancer has a 100% delivery rate on or before the established guidelines. I have references available to corroborate that history. I have included samples in my profile of the wide variety of Higher Education projects I have worked on, including exams, quizzes, editing, proofreading and Power Point construction. I am well versed in creating materials from scratch that serve major textbook publications, including those published by Pearson, Longman, McGraw-Hill, Wadsworth, and South-Western College Publishers. My standard per hour rate is $30 for freelance work. Given the parameters of your project, I estimate it to take approximately 8 - 9 hours to complete properly. Those hours times my hourly rate is the calculation I used to derive my bid. It includes the first draft, revisions, and any editorial changes that may come about while the project is underway. As any good business person, I am willing to be negotiable with my bid price should there be less work than anticipated. I would also ask the same reciprocity, should your requirements exceed the number of hours I anticipated to complete. As always, I am excited to embrace new opportunities as a freelancer. This is more than extra work for me, it is a passion. To be able to contribute to so many different projects and work with numerous people and publishers is truly a blessing. I look forward to working with you on this and other projects that you have in the future. I will look forward to hearing from you soon as you complete your decision-making process. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or clarifications as you see fit.
