$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
We have a unique project that is ready for copy edit. We need a dynamic editor who will take our work to the next level with us, e.g. face up our diamond for us. This highly erotic love story has been developed with significant forethought and planning, and has been read by three critical sets of eyes as we wrote, but it will need some technical refinement to reach it's full potential. It was written with intent to be erotic literature, with a target market in mind. We are enthusiastic about a speedy turnaround but also value a very high quality edit. It's all about balance!

Hello I would be delighted to help in a professional capacity as an editor and proofreader for your 130k novel. I have only been with Freelancer for 10 months so I can’t top the number of reviews –but already my exceptionally high standards mean my ‘repeat hire rate,’ or clients who use me more than once, is nearly 50% higher than my nearest competitor. That says a lot! Proofreading and editing require 100% accuracy - there is no room for errors. A 5* average rating = 0 errors A 4.9* average rating = 99% accuracy = 10 errors / 1,000 words I believe just one single error looks unprofessional and is totally unacceptable in anything, and especially copy which will be published, whether it is a book or website. Good editing requires exceptional English skills – my 98% pass for English level 3 has been the main reason many are now turning to me. I am aware my bid is extremely high, but I work thoroughly and professionally. If you want to see the difference between my standards and those of another popular proofreader before you make a decision, please message me as nothing can be attached to bids. For an edit, you won’t get a ‘glorified’ proofread, you will get: • A full text edit with any alterations shown using MS Word ‘trackchanges’ • A separate and full critique of the work • A final proofread of the text after all alterations have been accepted I am available 7 days a week so you’ll never feel abandoned! Kind Regards David Dundas

Hello, I am extremely interested in completing this project for you. I'm not going to promise you the earth, just all the skills, education and experience from over 25 years of writing, editing, proofreading and formatting documentation for a wide variety of disciplines and genre. I have a keen eye for detail and the ability to not only spot any inconsistencies in your text but to correct them as well. Irrespective of whatever type of documentation, topic or genre I can guarantee you top quality work from a professional Writer/Documentation Consultant, excellent communication and above all value for your money. I firmly believe that an editor’s role is not only to make sure the content is structured correctly and grammatically correct but to also ensure that the edited content is consistent in capturing the author's thoughts and ideas for their intended audience. To date with my freelancing career I have edited in excess of 50 books, proofread/edited academic articles and theses to PhD level, created technical documentation for multi-national companies, created/edited website content, and articles for a wide variety of topics. I will ensure that your documentation meets your criteria and is completed within the timescales you require. If you care to review my Freelancer profile and the comments of my previous Freelancer clients then you will see that I can adequately meet your requirements. You can contact me at any time to discuss your project. Regards Jim Moore

I am a professional writer and editor with over 20 years experience proofreading in a wide variety of genres, including erotic fiction. I have recently edited several books that have since been published, and I would enjoy the opportunity to help you get your book ready for publication. I am somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to the English language, and I have experience editing in both U.S. and U.K. English. My usual rate for basic proofreading/copy editing is $1/500 words, and depending on the amount of editing required I can complete a project this size in anywhere from 2-4 weeks. I do all my editing using the track changes feature of MS Word, and I'm happy to talk back and forth with you throughout the duration of the project and answer any questions you might have about the changes and suggestions I make. If you have any questions or would like additional information please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks for considering my proposal, and have a great day! Danielle

Hello-- I'm a professional editor working for a US publishing company where I've assisted many writers in perfecting their novels for publication. I work quickly without sacrificing quality and I would love to edit your erotic novel for you. I can improve every aspect of your novel, from sentences to narrative structure and characterisation. Along with that, I can share my experience on both sides of the publishing industry, and advise you on how to sell and market your novel. I know what readers, editors, and publishers are looking for, and I can share that insight with you. I've edited many novels which have found their way to publication and I'm confident I can bring your novel to a very high level. If you'd like, I can provide a sample edit to prove my worth to you. I believe my experience makes me the perfect editor for you, and I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, --eddy
