Hello, As a young and driven editor establishing my name in the business, I do everything to assure a perfect end product. I was gifted with an incredibly keen eye, a natural sense of grammar, and a penchant for flow, structure, and eloquence. To these I have added schooling and millions of hours of personal study. The main ingredient in my experience, however, is communication. The story needs to be a perfect version of your original idea, not the editor's vision. I communicate with my authors on a very consistent and thorough basis and usually start with minimalist editing (predominantly proofing) with some minor adjustment ideas, then we gauge your thoughts and I tweak from there. I like to edit between one and four chapters a day, sending them back with my proposed corrections/suggestions so you can look them over and we can discuss them, then reediting after you accept/decline/change the chapter and send it back to me. Thus, I go through the book at least a few times, plus a read-through or two at the very end to make sure nothing was missed and that it really is exactly what you want and meets both of our standards. I have attached a draft of the first edit of a chapter I recently edited for this book (I also edited the website): http://addydaauthor.com My favorite author is Thomas Pynchon.

Hello there! I am a native English speaker with an extensive background in writing, editing, and revising. Aside from editing for journals and newspapers, I was often asked to edit papers, stories and poetry for my fellow creative writing students. I am used to workshopping writing, but I am also used to editing for details in punctuation and grammar without changing content. I also love surrealism, absurdism, and the avant garde in writing, and I even have several collections of writing that fall into the surrealist style of writing. Working with you on your interesting book would be a lot of fun, I'm sure! I'm new to freelancer, so I don't have a lot of credit here, but I'm looking to make writing my career. I do have the experience, and I'd love to talk to you more about this project. Hopefully we can also work together in the future! Thanks for considering me, and have a great day! less

Hello, I was excited to read your post for an editor of postmodern writing--I love avant-garde literature, as well as art and music. I have a keen appreciation for the absurd: favorite writers include DeLillo, Murakami, David Foster Wallace, and Italo Calvino--and I'm a fast and thorough reader and proofreader. I've spent hours in writing workshops (my minor was Creative Writing), and literature courses (my major was English Literature), so I know very well the care and craftsmanship that must contribute to a successful piece. Please consider me for your intriguing project! Do message me if you have any questions. Thanks, Joanna less
