The book, about 19,000 words, is about endometriosis a condition that affects millions of women worldwide. It is a part biographical account on how I healed myself naturally and a part a guide on how other women can do the same. I am looking for an experienced professional editor to go through a book about endometriosis which is part biographical and part how to. I would like to have it presented with all relevant copyright information paragraphs, medical disclaimers, table of contents and to make sure the content reads well with personality. As this will be an Ebook I want it to look well presented and easy to read with sub titles and headers. I am looking for someone to do two rounds of editing targeting both the content and technical elements of my book. For the first round, a editor to review the book and provide holistic recommendations on elements such as tone and structure. For the second round of editing, a professional editor to provide a line edit that corrects typos and ensures consistency in: Grammar Punctuation Spelling Each round of editing to include an Editorial Letter from the editor explaining the suggested changes made in the manuscript. The editor will use the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition, the preferred style guide in the book publishing industry, and the Merriam-Webster dictionary in editing your manuscript. The editors to review my manuscript using the Microsoft Word Track Changes feature. I am needing it done in about 3 days with a budget of $100- although for the right editor i will wait. I have also started a second book which wil be a paper back book edition which has about 40,000 words done so far so hope to get that edited in the next few weeks too.

Howdy! I am the lead editor for Montag Press Collective. I have edited over twelve full-length novels, specializing in historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. I have a strong stomach for violence and sex, yet also a taste for the finer points of literature. I am currently between projects and looking to try something different. One unique thing about the way I work is that I have a computer program that reads aloud to me. Listening to the text while I work allows me to catch many things that other editors might miss. I can easily catch and correct words that look alike, but have one letter difference. I’ll also put the ç in your façade and the é in your fiancé/fiancée. Please let me know if you have any questions for me! Due to ongoing (flexible) commitments with Montag Press, I will be logging in to check messages once a day and I will get back to you if I’m not currently online. Mara Hodges, Books Worth Burning

I am an expert editor who specializes in editing. I do everything from basic proofreading, to line editing for tone, voice and tense, to deep content editing for plot and character development, as well as rewriting, if necessary. I have been editing for over five years, with dozens of repeat clients who know that my work is superb, and that they can rely on me to work accurately and efficiently. I am skilled in proofreading, punctuation, word usage, sentence structure, and the organizational structure of a book. I can also rewrite if needed, and I take the approach of how a reader might respond to the book (since I am reading it) and offer suggestions that I think (or know) could improve the overall "read" of the book. I use Word 2013 with Track Changes so you can see all the changes I make. I never consider a project finished until you are completely satisfied. I am happy to answer any questions you have about changes I have made. Upon completion, I will provide you with a markup-free copy of your document that is ready for publication.
