Editor for Premium Coffee Table Photo Book

R1750-5250 ZAR

Completed
Posted over 8 years ago

R1750-5250 ZAR

Paid on delivery
We are in the final stags of producing a premium coffee table book which predominantly features photos of our journey through Africa. We travelled from Morocco along the West Coast of Africa to Cape Town. The book has captions for each photo and three short stories. We would like someone who has experience in producing/editing content for published books. You would edit and craft our existing text to ensure the stories have the highest impact, drawing the reader in and creating an emotional connection. The text from the introduction to final credits should flow and connect with the photos. We also need a proof-reader to ensure spelling, punctuation and grammar are 100%. This could be a separate job/person if need be. We look forward to hearing from you.

I was interested to see your project for both improving the written content of your coffee table book, and/or providing a proofreading service. I provide both services and you will see from feedback that I have not only a near-perfect completion rate, but only 5* ratings and 100% on time and 100% on budget. Clearly the style of writing has to be very engaging as well as being 100% error free. However you have mentioned the number of pages, but not the number of words in the text. You will appreciate that the volume of words could range from 5,000 to 50,000 and the amount of work varies accordingly. I would welcome the opportunity of working with you on this, but I would need to know the word count before confirming a fixed bid. Kind Regards David Dundas PS I have update my bid after receiving your message regarding the word count. Thank you.

Hi, I think I may be just the professional editor you are looking for to do content editing for your travel book. I normally work one-on-one with my clients to insure they are 100% happy with my edits. Having read through your project details, the description of your book really excites me as these are my favourite types of projects to be a part of. I am confident I can help optimism the fluidity and impact in balancing the content and photographs. A bit about my background: I am an experienced Copy Editor/ Writer and native English speaker with a MA in Art History from the University of St. Andrews. I regularly edit academic dissertations (for students at top institutions such as Oxford University, Sciences Po, London School of Economics and etc), legal documents, brochures, scripts, creative fiction and non-fiction novels. In addition, I freelance write for various creative print and online publications. Whilst editing, I am thorough and go beyond editing to what is grammatically correct as I believe effective writing needs to be: eloquent, concise and cohesive. I am experienced in editing and writing in both British and American English. I currently have a flexible schedule so I can dedicate time and attention to your project, I am professional and always respond to queries in a timely manner and more importantly, I am easy to work with! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Angie

I have an unparalleled history for proofreading, editing, and rewriting creative articles on hundreds of manuscripts bound for publication. I have more than ten publications myself in linguistics and culture. The charge for proofreading, rewiring, and editing services comes to $.10 ZAR per word. I will promise both accuracy and quality of language, guaranteed. I may be unable to complete the project quickly due to being busy with editing on another website. Payment may be required in advance.

Dear Sir, I'd like to be part of this project. Please check out pdf tilted "Property Rock!" in my portfolio as a sample of my style of writing. It is a Cover Story that I'd put put together as well as edited for a real estate magazine. What draws me more to this project is the fact that I am a short story writer too and that might come in handy when we're working on the three stories in the project.

Hello. As a professional editor with experience working for the world's largest academic book publisher, I can definitely conduct a thorough review of your work. I have conducted copyediting and proofreading on many academic and educational projects, both print and digital. It appears that what you are requesting is copyediting, specifically technical editing, which includes checking for grammatical errors and misspellings, in addition to substantive editing, which is improving the logic and clarity of the content. It would be helpful to know if you require a particular style to be followed. I can also do the proofreading. You mention that you are in the final stages. Be aware that a proofread is conducted right before publishing. If you already have a print-ready document from the publisher, then you need a proofread. If you are still in your proof stages, then a copyedit and proofread are necessary. I mainly use Microsoft Word with the track changes features for corrections and comments. This is generally the quickest method and the easiest to follow. I do use Acrobat Professional and inCopy as well. I am more than happy to discuss further details of the project. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi there! While from Macedonia, I'm a native English speaker. Currently a student at the USU, I'm minoring in language arts. I've taken Advanced placement English Language and Literature. In addition to that, I've been editing for almost 6 years now. Throughout that time, I've proofread over 50 essays, 70 articles, 2 novels, 15 research papers and so on. Honestly, this is one of my passions; therefor, I do it to be able to pay my college tuition. I can also provide a sample if you send me an example.

I'd like to know the length of the project and to see what I would be working on so we can discuss any terms before you offer or I accept the project. I have visited South Africa and other parts of southern Arica a number of times, so the project you are working on has piqued my interest, which I think would be useful in ensuring I see the project in the right context. In terms of my language skills, English has always been a strong point of mine, having grown up being an avid reader, completing the highest level of English available to study in Australian secondary school, and completing my bachelors degree at university. As this is potentially my first project on Freelancer, I have made what I feel is a very competitive bid. Thank you, Robert

Hello, I would love to be considered for this opportunity. I just sold my book publishing business and store and have had extensive experience with editing and writing. I am quite adept at providing the reader many different ways to connect emotionally with a story and pull those proverbial heartstrings. I am also capable of performing both jobs, should you prefer to hire and work with only one person. Thanks so much for your time. I hope you find the right one for this wonderful book.
