Hi, I'd love to ruthlessly edit your fairy tale. I do have some experience editing fiction - both on this site and off. Children's books too. Please look at my reviews. I teach creative writing - I actually teach adults and children how to write their own fairy tale. I look forward to discussing this with you further.

Hi, Growing up on Fairy Tales from all over the world was one of my passions, and to this day, I don't feel a person is ever grown up enough to discard fairy tales from his reading repertoire. I have considerable editing experience here, unfortunately not with fiction work. I do believe I can deliver a fun interpretation of editing your take on fairy tales, and would love to have the chance to work with you. I am a nit-picker of an editor, and if you're game, that is exactly what you shall get. Regards Amita

I always complete my projects in less time than what I put on my bid. I only work from home, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I have a very respectable turn-around time for all projects. Yours will have my full and undivided attention to ensure the utmost accuracy. For your final product you will receive from me 2 separate documents of your work. One with tracking that shows all correction suggestions/notes & one without tracking that has the correction suggestions/notes applied. This way you will be able to either hand pick which correction/notes you wish to apply or simply accept it the way that it is.

Hello! My name is Janet Devlin, and it would be a pleasure to edit the first story of Dark Wood Tales. I can't think of anything I would rather edit than fairy tales. This just doesn't happen every day! Honestly, my favorite show is Once Upon A Time, so it would be awesome to be able to work on this. For a little background on me, I've been editing for over 20 years and am comfortable with whatever is needed, from content and line to proofreading. Some recent projects include two manuscripts and one novel, all fiction. Each project required honest feedback and suggestions along with the usual correcting of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and whatever other weirdness was found. Thanks so much for reading my proposal. If you have any questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask! Have a fantastic day, Janet

As you will see from our profile, both my wife and I have over 20 years experience of editing and proofreading from both academic and business backgrounds. We are both avid readers, and I am in the process of writing 3 fantasy & sci-fi gaming supplements that will be completed, ready for publication, later this year. Our rates are based on a 10GBP (approx. 15USD) per thousand words, if the length of your publication is significantly different then our final price would reflect that. We would love to work with you to get your project into the best shape for publication and hope to hear back from you about working together soon. Regards Gareth & Jayne.
