Hi, I can do a really great job with editing your book. Your idea sounds great! Is it based on real experiences? I currently run my own editing business, where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Managed an editing and proof reading service for several years I have put in a fairly low bid in order to be competitive on Freelancer, but please don't wonder if this will affect the quality of the work. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done to a high standard by your deadline or sooner. I've based the fee on an estimated 87,000 words. For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Check your book for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity where necessary - Assist with structure, characterization and readability - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

Hi, my name is Andrew. I am a highly experienced academic writer, proofreader and editor with particular expertise in the copy-editing of books ready for printing and self-publishing as ebooks. I am a member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders in the UK and I am happy to edit a sample of your book. I will then work closely with you to obtain the best size and layout of your book. Once this has been decided, I will use either Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher or Adobe InDesign to finalise your manuscript with all the correct margins, embedded fonts and layout guides according to how use the file will be utilised. As you wish to upload or submit the manuscript for self-publication, I will finalise the book as a PDF for a hard copy, as for these purposes it is necessary to submit each page as it would be viewed or printed, and also any e-book format you prefer. I have the relevant software and subscriptions to complete this work and to test your finished book on the platform it is to be launched on. I will then take screenshots of the book as it would appear so you can be assured of the final outcome, as this can look a lot different than the original file. I have completed many assignments like this but many are covered by NDA's which I adhere to so if you would like to contact me further, I am happy to copy-edit a sample of your work to show what I can do for you. I can also provide links to books I have had published that are available to buy. Thank You.
