Project Description:

Looking for someone to edit and re-write a story I have written for my wife. It has been ghost written by someone with a British dialect with poor grammar. All of the information and flow is there, it simply needs to be re-written in english (North American). I simply do not have time to do this, and since it is a gift for my wife, I want it to be well done. Project is approx 15,000 words long. I am not happy at all with how it was written as you will easily be able to tell by reading it. Price is negotiable, and I would like to see some samples of work. Or I could give you a chapter to edit as a trial, your choice.
If interested, please let me know and I will email you the file.

Skills required:

Book Writing, Ghostwriting

Hi I'm sorry to hear that you're not happy with your story. I'd really, really love to help you fix it. I have been writing creatively since I could hold a pen. My most recent project on Freelancer was writing an e-book (to be submitted tomorrow) of groom's speeches. Thus, I have experience writing from a male perspective in a way that is sentimental without being cheesy. I have a profound grasp on the English language which means my work will be free from grammatical and spelling errors. Whilst I am Australian, I am also proficient in North American English therefore my work will still possess the appropriate spelling. Also because I live in Australia I'll be working while you're sleeping which means your work will be waiting for you in the morning. I have a double degree in Public Communication and Law and experience in advertising, public relations and marketing. I have extensive experience writing in different formats for different audiences including lengthy pieces such as a 115-page report and a 20,000 word creative piece. I am willing to negotiate a price and deadline. I guarantee my work will be completed within our agreed deadline, as I understand the importance of this project. I'm happy to edit a chapter as I think this will be the best way to show you that I'm the right person for the job. I hope to hear from you. Kind regards, Ashleigh less

This is the kind of disappointment that you don't need twice. To avoid a second disappointment, I suggest you read some samples of my work to check whether my "voice" is the one you want to engage on a very personal project like this one. I am experienced in helping other people improve their creative fiction, and my grammar and narrative flow are excellent, so I would have no problem tidying up this story. The question is rather whether you would like a second "ghost" on the job, i.e. to improve the overall quality rather than just correct the technical errors. It would help if you explain the genre in advance, e.g. comedy, tragedy, mystery, romance, adventure, etc. Send me your sample chapter, and I will transform it into something beautiful. less

I have written a 13-book fantasy series, 5-book SF series, and others totaling 8+ million words worth of fiction, besides ghostwriting for others. That's quite a bit of writing and editing. I'm California native, not to mention being excellent with realistic dialog as well as descriptions. In short, I can do this job right, and on time (I specified 10 days, but for something as short as 15,000 words I can do it in a lot less time; I just put in some extra buffer in case the unexpected comes up in my schedule). My resume and samples are attached in PM. My rate for this sort of edit would normally be $5/ page (250 words/page), but since the range you chose maxes out at 250, I rounded down a bit. less
