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 needed. I can also provide a constructive critique of the book and point out any inconsistencies, questions, awkward phrasings, etc. there may be. I am including below a few reviews I have received for similar projects. Please feel free to visit my profile to view my additional reviews. Thank you for your consideration. “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! The comments were so helpful and I feel will really enhance my story. I will definitely hire again, thank you!!” “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! Thanks again!!!” “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!” “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!” “Krystal is a very thorough reader and provided plenty of fantastic thoughts and criticism on my screenplay. Great sense of story, grammar, creativity, and honesty! Highly recommended.”

I would not say I'm the best, since there are many skilled writers here, but what certainly makes me better than the next is a definite command over vocabulary, fluency and lucidity in expression and adaptability, since I can write long, connected sentences or short, simple ones as required or according to requirement. More than anything else, I'm fervently looking for writing-work, so combine my language skills with a heavy dose of sincerity and commitment, and you have an excellent choice at your disposal. I AM BETTER THAN “NATIVE WRITERS.” Looking forward to your positive response. Regards Tanveer

Hello, I am a native English speaker (U.S. citizen) and I have over 15 years of experience in proofreading and editing of various content such as novels, articles, ebooks, essays, etc. Apart from the obvious amendments of any improper grammar, syntax, spelling or punctuation, my years of experience will serve to reformulate and enhance your wording, making your text compelling to the reader, while respecting your original content and voice. I provide both change tracked and final versions for your convenience, and am able to complete your project in under 2 weeks. Could you please specify the word count ? Thanks, Elizabeth

Hello, My name is Filip and I have a MA in English Language and Literature. I do not want to bore you with my qualifications, so I am just going to tell you what I can offer to you and hopefully that will be what you are looking for. First of all, communication. Without good communication, these types of tasks are often doomed to fail. You expect one thing out of my editing/reviewing, I do what I am trained to do and disregard your creative input and we've got ourselves into a problem. Needless to say, spelling, punctuation and grammar would be properly checked and edited. But many of the freelancers here could provide you with that. I think that I would be able to give useful tips, insights and advice on your novel. (e.g. character development, flaws in the story if there are any, pinpointing weaker parts and enhancing them). What I would NOT do is mess with or go against your creative (I am a writer as well, and I know how it feels when others try to make your vision their own) Although I am 100% confident in my grammar editing skills, I will admit that there is one aspect I am not always 100% right about - I sometimes use British English instead of American, BUT since you are a native I do not suppose that should be a problem. The second thing is that I am completely straightforward and honest and if you do not want any criticism, I am not a person you should hire. I am friendly, and communicative and if you think I could help you, please do contact me Kind regards, F.

Hi As I understand, you need an editor who has the ability to make a good editing to your novel. I'm interested to get the job as I’m an experienced editor. I’ve been working in editing line for more than 20 years. I took graduation and master degree on Journalism and MPhil on English Studies. So I know it very well how to edit and improve a write-up. At Freelancer, I’ve also completed several editing, proofreading and rewriting projects. You can see samples of my editing works in my portfolio. At present I’m attached with FAZA Editing House. You can visit the website and see samples of different categories of books I've edited. I'm also a creative writer. I've written a children's book that you can find in my portfolio. If you offer me the job, I’ll charge you only $250, and within two weeks, I’ll deliver your manuscript edited. I hope you will find me suitable for your work. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks SM Saifuddin

Hello there! I have a lot of time that I can devote to your project right now, so I would love to take it on! I am basically on bed rest right now and need some sort of mental stimulation, so this would be perfect! English is something that I find myself very passionate about and it saddens me to no end where the written language seems to be headed. The title has me bouncing between fantasy and serial killing story lines. I cannot wait to hear more! Hope to speak with you soon! -Shelynn

I am a freelance editor and writer who values efficiency and accuracy. I pay attention to the minute details as well as the overall content. "Cleaning up" documents while improving the flow is my specialty and I take great pride in my work. Retaining your voice throughout the editing process is of utmost importance to me. I am timely, thorough, and communicative when it comes to giving you status updates or if I have questions. I feel extremely confident in my ability to make your project sparkle! I will systematically line edit the entire document and correct all grammatical, punctuation, and formatting errors. When desired, I will offer suggestions of content to add that may improve the feel of your project. This document will be edited at least three times to ensure everything is perfect and ready for publication.
