Need an editor to proofread your YA novel ensuring the content is flawless and ready for publication?I am your go to person:) I am a writer and editor with a postgraduate background in communication studies. I bring my 17+ years of professional expertise to the service of the general public & academia to assist in this sacred process. I strive for complete accuracy and the highest degree of professionalism in the work I complete. With excellent content recognition, my editing and proofreading skills extend across many industries and business needs—you could say that I am an “editing savant”—and have always been the hidden accomplice behind any successful document. I am a passionate perfectionist when it comes to a succinct, well-written and mistake-free document—that oh-so-important first impression. The message in your novel needs the five key elements of communication: Clarity Coherency Concision Consistency Correctness This is what you would be guaranteed if I am awarded this project. Work will be done using MS Word Trackchanges so you can see any corrections made. I enjoy supporting people to be their best, especially when it comes to clear communication. Your professional presentation is my business. A link to my professional portfolio is provided below. [login to view URL] I would love to do a sample edit for you. I believe that is the only way you will know the best person for the job:) Best regards, Marli

Good morning, I am a former journalist and marketing specialist with more than fifteen years of experience writing, editing and proofreading. As a freelancer, I have edited the gamut of material, from academic papers to cookbooks, as well as an extensive range of genres, from non-fiction to contemporary and young adult fiction. In my opinion, there are few things more frustrating than reading a great book that has grammar issues. The writer in me is disappointed knowing how much work goes into a novel; my editor self rails at the manuscript's proofreader for allowing mistakes to slip through. It is an honor, but a considerable responsibility, to be trusted to smooth out a manuscript that an author has worked so hard to generate. My peers and coworkers appreciate my candor and honest feedback in any given situation. The perfectionist in me ensures no problems slip under the radar. When one combines these qualities with how much I enjoy fixing grammar and punctuation issues, I am an editorial force to be reckoned with. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or would like to see any examples of my editing. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time and consideration, Mariah Patterson

Hello, I am a fantastic proofreader, and have a keen eye for spelling and grammar issues. As you can see from my reviews, I have plenty of experience, and this means that I am certainly the right person for this job. I also happen to enjoy reading in the YA Fantasy genre, so it is something that I would enjoy and prioritise. I use MS Word's "Track Changes" when I am proofreading, and this means that you are able to see everything that has been done to the document before you choose to accept or deny changes. I can also provide a clean copy at the end of the job. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I am ready to start work right away, as soon as you award the project and send me the file. Thanks, Gemma Rowlands.

Dear Cheverton, Though new to freelancer.com, I am experienced in proofreading and copyediting as these are skills which have been part of my professional routine for several years. I am a native English speaker, based in Brussels, which means that the majority of my recent proofreading projects have been for documents and articles which are then sent to the EU institutions and the mainstream media - it follows that I also have an excellent understanding of the importance of accuracy and attention to detail and needless to add that when dealing with the media, deadlines are extremely important. What most attracted me to your project is not only a belief that I have the relevant skills and experience, but also that your novel is of the young adult fantasy genre, with which I am very familiar as it takes up most of the space on my bookshelves at home! I hope that my bid for this project is successful as I am confident that I am the right person for the job. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. Kind regards, Claire
