Paid on delivery
I have a book I have written on Microsoft Word. It contains 67,952 words. I am looking for a cost effective solution for my first book. I would consider a fair % of royalties as opposed to a flat up front fee for the effort if this is a consideration. I have read and reread this book a dozen times, always adding, editing, and changing things. I need to find someone who will or can ensure it flows properly, as I may have cut things here or there or may have missed a break in a thought and it may not flow smoothly into the next run of information. Having read it so many times, I could be blind to these things now. English is a must, and the ability to converse if questions are present. I have words I have purposely split or written with capitalization such as "ITself" or "NO-THING" or "dis-ease" for emphasis and reason, so these things will need to be identified and understood up front. This content is of the metaphysical and spiritual nature, so a good understanding of consciousness and metaphysical subjects/content is a plus.

I am really interested in the project. I love the subject you write about and am sure we can manage to get through everything together. I know it's a big bet, to give this project to an unknown person, so my proposal is this: I work on, let's say, the first ten pages of the book, free of charge; you then see if we can work properly together. At that point, you decide whether to hire me, or not. Would you like to do so? It would be a great chance for me to work at something I am passionate about. Hope to hear back from you.

I am a skilled and professional editor with a strong grasp on the English language. I think I would be good for this project considering from what I read we seem to have a similar writing style. Purposely capitalizing and breaking words is something i do in my books at times as well.

I've gone through the editing process myself on a book roughly the same length as yours. Getting that second (or third, fourth, seventeenth) pair of eyes is always valuable, especially if a lot of omissions have been made. I can totally relate to that uncertainty: "Did I delete/rewrite the correct place?" You never know. So in personally understanding the writing and editing process, I think that I could be that second (or third, fourth, seventeenth) pair of eyes. In terms of what you're looking for specifically, I absolutely agree that proper flow matters and I'm always considering the flow of the fiction I'm writing/editing and of the educational lessons I edit in my other job. I love figuring out with other writers how to condense OR expand a work's pacing because when you get to that point where it clicks together, it feels great (and becomes that much closer to publishable!). I also have a keen interest in the metaphysical/spiritual, especially from various perspectives. I just got into reading "Waking Up" by Sam Harris, which is an interesting take on many spiritual concepts and practices. Morality, judgment, our place in the universe--those subjects are of particular interest to me. And by the way, I also really like that you're placing importance on dialogue with intonation--not enough writers do that! So that's what I can offer--a likeminded, but also objective view on your work. I really hope you find my views helpful. Thanks for the consideration!

Hi there. This sounds like a really interesting project. I come from a family of authors so I am used to reading and have an inherited ability to write and proofread content (people often hate me for picking up on their typos or grammatical mistakes!). I also have a fascination with spirituality - I'm currently reading 'Reasons to stay alive' (it's not a self-help book!) and 'An African love story', so hopefully this gives some insight into how my mind works. Anyway, I am in full-time employment in London in which proofreading skills are a must, so you will be hiring a real professional. I may also ask family members to glance over the odd sentence if I am unsure of anything, so you have a team here ready to help. Please get in touch if you're interested.
