I have written a book about a particularly unique approach to psychology and Self-help. I need someone to do a complete editing of the manuscript - the eBook is about 160 pages (8.5x 11) and the print copy runs 230 pages for identical content (9x6 softcover). Editing needed for mostly grammar, punctuation, appearance, suggestions on drawings and photos, and content only as it relates to ease of understanding and flow of the subject matter. Please send you bid; editor will also receive acknowledgment on the title page, and may receive future work.

I will have the work that you need done in a timely manner. I never take on an assignment that I can't handle. If I feel I am unable to do the work you have requested of me I will tell you. If it is a larger project (i.e book, more than one article, large editing job) I will remain in constant contact with you, so that you may be updated on the progress of your project.

I was a newspaper reporter for more than a decade and a copy editor before that. I had to edit my own copy. I am always asked by family and friends to edit their work because they know I'm good and thorough.

I am a former professor of Modern European history. My master’s thesis was on various unresolved, important issues in the writings of Karl Marx, and how questions he raised in has principle work , Capital, had had an impact on the writings of French socialist and communist leaders in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century’s. My doctoral thesis concerned the contributions of the French Communist Party to the creation of the French social security system after WWII, and the involvement of the United States in French politics during the post-war era. I was first reader, editor, and researcher for Professor Irwin M. Wall’s book, L’influence americaine sur la politique francaise après le deuxieme gurre mondial, published by Ballard. I have published numerous articles in my own discipline. I have long had an interest in psychology, as my father was a Professor of Psychology; I had many enjoyable discussions with him and his colleagues. I look forward to using the skills I have developed as a writer during many years of research, teaching, and writing during my tenure in the academic world in my recent venture as a freelance writer .Much of what is written today is of very low quality. My standards for writing are high, and I maintain these high standards in undertaking any assignments I accept as a freelance writer. My assignments are always completed on time. I am meticulous in my attention to spelling and grammar, and should you need any research done, now or in connection with some future project, my research is thorough and accurate.

Hello Michael, helping you edit and proofread your ebook and softcover manuscript sounds like a fascinating project that I would enjoy helping you with (and probably learn something myself in the process, which is always useful). I have been helping people with their writing on a wide variety of subjects for over 20 years, and I feel confident I can help you with this project. I have based my bid on a rate of $2 per page, with an outside time estimate of 14 days to give time to go back and check for continuity, if needed. Please see the PMB for more information. Thank you for considering my bid. PJH
