Project Description:
I have written my first 'book'. It is in the life-story genre and is 80,000 words, 350 pagesI am now seeking a well-qualified line-editor. Please note - it's Line Editor I need. Or a Copy Editor. I don't need a newspaper editor, story editor or proof-reader.
I'll be looking to work with the successful person on my manuscript prior to me approaching publishers. I have drafted the manuscript 4 or 5 times. It now needs a third party to take it. I'm looking for guidance on -
Grammar
Tense
Sentence construction
Inconsistencies in the story
Flow
Spelling
I would like to work with someone who -
Lives In Sydney, Australia
Speaks English as their first and primary language
Has Line Editing experience
Also, if you're female and have kids or have had kids that would be a bonus. There is a reason for this (to do with the book) that i will explain when we chat.
I will not send this project overseas as I would like to work closely on the Line Editing phase of my manuscript.
Thanks for your time, it is much appreciated.

Along with the ability to adapt and systematize, I possess enterprising interpersonal skills that allow me to create positive long-term relationships with clients. In addition to publishing experience in the fields of fiction/nonfiction, technology, and the humanities, I have completed my master's degree in philosophy and my bachelor's degree in English, all which lend to my forte as a well-rounded editor. My work ethic has been founded on a disciplined and flexible "whatever-it-takes" approach to providing superior levels of client satisfaction in a timely, efficient manner. When I work with a client, I truly consider myself your partner, and I work with you each step of the way to ensure your success. less

Editing is an innate gift for me. I've been in the world of books since i was 9 years old, and i have read hundreds of books. I have a wealth of knowledge and invaluable line editing experience. Plus, i am a woman as to your requirement. I do not have children yet, but i just cannot explain what binds them and i. I seem to attract them everywhere i go, at the risk of sounding mushy, i shall stop there. I have a done a lot of editing jobs, although not here. If you decide to send your work overseas, i promise to send you updates daily, so you can work with me with as closely as you want to. Too many words here i guess. If i'm not picked, still let me know if i can be of any assistance to you. Reading & editing are a joy to me. Thank you. less
