Namaste. I would be the ideal person for your book because: 1) I'm an experienced, expert editor, 2) I'm a Westerner who has lived in India for 27 years-- a cross-cultural expert , 3) I'm extremely skilled, responsible, creative, and gifted in communication, editing, writing, & ghostwriting, 4) I'm a spiritual person who works with integrity, authenticity, and shraddha, 5) A novel by an Indian Author, which I edited and partly 'ghostwrote' was published by RUPA publishers and has done well. I would work in Microsoft Word using the track changes tool. Please note: I am not very active on Freelancer because I have my own freelance editing business and over 100 happy clients. I visit here infrequently. Please look me up on Linked In (search for RAMA DEVI NINA MARSHALL) to see reviews from the many novelists who have been supremely happy with my editing inputs. I would love to work with a novel based in India...or any novel. I am flexible with regard to fees and timing estimations, as both depend on other factors, such as the level of editing required for polishing your work to its highest potential. I am a gifted ghostwriter in that I am able to intuitively sense the voicing and style each client prefers. I have an eagle eye for proofing. Additionally, I'll be happy to offer ideas to help augment the nuances in your writing, to enhance developmental aspects regarding plot, theme and characterization. I am especially good with fixing sentences so they have a fluid lyrical pacing.
