Hello! My name is Jackie. Congrats on finishing your first book! I would love to proofread and edit it for you. I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills. I also have a keen eye and ear for characterization, voice, flow, sentence structure, story arc, and plot. Perfect prose is my passion--I have copy-edited and line-edited more than 20 novels, self-help books, screenplays, children's books, academic journal articles, newspaper/magazine articles, and business publications. I am also a writer and staff copy editor with three local publications in my city, and I have worked as a newspaper journalist and editor in the past. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. Corruption and revenge on the streets of Mumbai sounds intriguing! I would be more than happy to edit a sample of your writing free of charge in order for you to determine if I am a fit for your needs. I also have samples of my prior work available in the Portfolio section of my Freelancer profile, and will happily provide references upon request. I typically charge between $.008 to .025/word, depending on how intensive the editing need is and what type of editing is desired. On average, I can copy edit 2,300 words of text in one hour. Since I don't know the word count of your book or the level of editing needed, my current bid is only an estimate. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, This sounds like a potentially interesting story. Please tell me more about it. I'd be interested to know the word count you've got planned, and the plot. If you could send me a section of what you've written, that would be great, as I'll be able to determine how much editing will be needed. I'm a writer/editor with over 4 years' experience, and your book will be in good hands with me. I've written nine books (fiction) thus far, and edited three. Thanks, Priya

My rate is negotiable, although I strongly feel that it would be worthwhile for you to hire me regardless of rate. If you want to gear this toward an international market, you have to think about how those living outside of Mumbai perceive it. Since I am from a wholly different section of the globe, I am in a great position to help you with that. With my help, I truly believe you can craft a book that will show people the cultural landscape of Mumbai while also explaining the lifestyle of those living in the slums in such a way as to make it relatable to those who have never been to that part of the world. Feel free to message me if you'd like to talk more about it. I'd be absolutely thrilled to work on this project.

Hi there! I’d like to offer my proofreading and editing skills. I’ve been a writer for about 10 years and two of them being a ghostwriter doing various writing, editing and proofreading projects. I tend to focus not only on grammar, spelling and syntactical elements but on the whole flow and the development of a story: how characters are portrayed, if they are 2D or 3D, how the flow goes throughout the whole story, how the chaptering helps the flow. The most important thing is characters’ development. No matter what kind of the plot an author may have, poorly developed characters can ruin it. Their motives, behavior, depth, dreams, preferences, dialogues and actions are worth checking over and over until it suits the story. Therefore, I believe that I fit this project and I’d be glad to talk about more details in the chat where I can send you my works. Thank you, will be waiting for your message.

I was recently a Content Writer for The Creative Writing Center which is based in New York. My task included writing articles regarding health, psychology, technology, actresses profiles and adult-centered entertainment. I graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Laws from the University of St. La Salle, Bacolod City. Due to the education and training I received , I thus believe I have learned how to correctly communicate to others whether in writing or in speech. The experiences I had in the companies I had worked with has given me a keen sense of understanding on how to properly deal with all kinds of people different walks of life. I was excited to read about the job you posted. In addition to my extensive office experience, I have strong communication, customer service, and administrative skills. My broad background makes me an excellent candidate for this post.

I believe that we as writers can make a difference in spotting some of the wrongfully unnoticed occurrences in the smaller section of the society that go unheard of. I am always up for digging into such issues and finding out what can be done to bring this out into light. Even a fictitious story based on the lives of these people is enough to give the outer world a glance of the reality or gruesome truths that lie here.

Hi there! Congratulations for having started writing your first novel! I will be more than happy to work with you to create a great read. I have 24 years of writing experience, and I also write an occasional blog and article. In my theater course these days, I am also writing scripts for scenes :-) And of course, I too started to write a novel a few years ago, which I might resume one day! Therefore, I can understand the spurts of inspiration, the writer's blocks, the writes and the rewrites that occur in such a journey and can stand by you through all of that. I am freelance editor these days and looking for work that is really appealing and creative. Hence, am bidding for this project. I am very good with Hindi and English, if that helps. I have quoted a bid, but would await more details from you such as, its language, page size, timeline, and so on. Would love to hear from you! Cheers, Ritu
