Line Editor for Fiction

Hello. I am a professional, native English speaking editor who works quickly and thoroughly. I can ensure that your book is free from grammatical errors and can also help with word choice and sentence structure, as necessary. I will be happy to provide detailed comments and suggestions for you to consider as you perfect your book. I am including below a few reviews I have received for similar projects. You are welcome to visit my profile to view my additional reviews. Thank you for your consideration. “She is the best! I have used her for editing my manuscript for three drafts. I highly recommend her if you need your work done professionally and on time!” “I loved Krystal! I would love to work with her again! She is consistent and creative and this book wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for her awesome editing!” “klboots performed an edit and a detailed critique of my 75,000 word novel and I could not be more happy with the final product! I will definitely hire again!!” “Klboots did an excellent job proofreading and editing my novel! She paid attention to detail and greatly improved my book's structure! I plan on re-hiring her very soon!” “Quick turnaround; very thorough review; her comments were helpful and thoughtful and made my document a better story. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!” “Amazing proof-reader! I have been hiring her for a while and I would not hire anyone else!”

Hi there! I would love to assist you with the line-editing of your 65,000-word manuscript. My US English Level 3 test scores are in the top 5 %, and I lived in the States for some time, though I was not born there. Why hire me? Many of the freelancers bidding on your project are probably writers who do some editing on the side, or proof-readers specializing in academic theses. However, I am a specialist manuscript editor, with the specific analytical and creative skills required for this painstaking and detail-oriented work. You can be sure that I will preserve your 'voice' and story, while polishing out any rough parts and really making your work shine. I have been awarded a preferred freelancer badge by Freelancer.com. In addition, my US and UK English language scores are both in the top 5%, testifying to my excellent command of the English language. This is what two of my recent clients had to say about my work: “Such a skilled and professional editor - really knows her stuff! Her comments were/are extremely helpful to my novel. Communication and timeliness of the deliverable were also above expectations. I would like to work with her again!” “Absolutely fantastic to work with! Great engagement and quality. All work and milestones completed ahead of expectation and to the highest quality. Strongly recommended for future work.” Thank you for considering my proposal. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you! Kind regards, Tracey

I am an English teacher, with a Master of Applied Linguistics. I am highly skilled in the areas of English spelling and grammar, and whilst not an American, my skill is at a such a level that I can edit successfully in both American and UK English. I have already edited two other fiction novels in US English with excellent results. I am happy to provide a sample in order to ease any doubts you may have in my ability to edit using US English. I am able to provide corrections of spelling and grammar, as well as suggest stylistic improvements and ideas for improving flow and reader appeal. Please consider me for this project and you will not be disappointed. I am also willing to complete the edit for $500.
