$2-8 USD / hour

I would like to establish a long term working relationship with an editor that will make my manuscript publish ready. I have written a 9,300 word, creative non-fiction, memoir style, comedic, parenting book for mom's. I plan to publish on createspace and on kindle direct publishing (KDP). The manuscript will be ready around 5/26 and after that project is published I plan to continue writing similar material. I have also posted another gig on this site for a collection of children's books that I have written.

Greetings! If you are looking for simple regurgitated material please do not select me for the job. I am a professional. I do high level, top of the line writing with excellent grammar. If I am given a reasonable time-frame for completion, I'll get it done. I am also an author of many non-fiction books so I am not new to writing, rewriting, editing, and proofreading material. If I can be of value, please don't hesitate to select me. Thanks Faiza Gull

Power in words: As a writer, isn't that what you want to achieve? Yes, I know my bid is higher than some, but I am a true wordsmith who goes the extra mile to make your writing really strong. And I'll prove it to you for free! Send me a sample of your work to edit and see the extra value you get when you hire me. My 37 years as a newspaper copy editor honed my ability not only to find errors, but to choose the best possible words, imagery, and imaginative phrasing. I recently completed editing four books -- a children's story, a self-help book, an illustrated handbook aimed at the entrepreneurial crowd, and a personal journal about spirituality. On the writing side, I interviewed jazz luminaries Dave Brubeck, Bob James, Maynard Ferguson, and singer Diane Schuur for stories. I have a gift for making dialogue resonate with readers, and my keen eye for accurate characterization in fiction is highly developed. I would love to help you with your project. Talk to you soon!

Hi, You project sounds like a lot of fun. I prefer to bid per word count, not per hour. If your project is about 10,000 words at this point then I'd bid $100 USD to edit it for you. I have a lot of experience outside of this site (fairly new to the site) and a good eye for detail. However, I've not formatted for KDP & Createspace yet. So, I understand if you want someone who can do both. I recently edited 2 children's books (illustrated) so keep me in mind for that. Please take a look at my reviews and portfolio and ask any questions if you're at all interested in working with me. Thank you.

I am a passionate writer with five years experience, writing for my own blog with content about lifestyle, beauty, fashion and entertainment. I’m also a proofreader who pays great attention to detail and extensive grammar/punctuation/spelling skills as well as sentence structure. Being a Communications student has enabled me to have excellent organisational and multi-tasking skills to successfully manage multiple assignments and meet deadlines. My focus and excellent time management skills enable me to work independently without distraction. With my blog, I have been able to fuel my passion for writing about things that I love. It has also taught me to write articles that will attract people and keep them wanting more. Freelancing is a new concept to me that I'd love to discover and I hope we can work together.

Hey there stranger, I don't like to sugarcoat stuff like other people here so I'll be direct. I hope that's okay. I like to write stuff. I'm pretty good at editing. I'm working on a book myself that I would like to publish. I may be new but if given a chance I won't disappoint. I'm good at what I do and take pride in doing it. Wouldn't do anything else even if I had a chance. Thanks for reading and hope you'll consider, Writer Who's Secretly Batman.
