Hello and a belated Happy New Year to you. I am a British editor and writer living in France but I have many North American clients. I was particularly drawn to your project as fantasy is a genre I enjoy working with immensely and currently I am working on a series of Russian fantasy novels which have been translated into English. I not only edit and proofread work, but also have contacts and access to cover designers and have worked with a number of authors who have had their works published in paperback from rather than just a self-published eBook. An example is http://www.amazon.com/Unexpected-Journey-Hero-Awakes-Thunderdragons/dp/1452594503/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404697502&sr=8-1&keywords=james+vollbracht and James Vollbracht, the author, has indicated he would be delighted to provide a personal reference to anyone wishing to use my services. I am unsure how many words your book is in length, but the usual format is two rounds of editing followed by a final proofread to ensure the text is totally error free. If you were able to let me see a sample of the text and provide a word count I could give you a more accurate indication of the exact fee. I hope to hear back from you soon. Kind regards. David Dundas.

Hello, I am a professional writer and editor with over 20 years' proofreading experience. I have a degree in Creative Writing, and my editing experience includes several fantasy novels with topics ranging from young adult fantasy novels to paranormal erotica. I have also been a huge fan of fantasy fiction since I was a child so I am very familiar with this genre. Unless otherwise requested I do all of my editing using the track changes feature of MS Word, including both line edits and comments regarding style, flow, word choice, etc. My rate for basic proofreading (spelling, punctuation, type-os and other minor mistakes) is $1/500 words. If you are looking for more substantive editing such as help with organization and character development, or if there is a significant amount of rewriting to be done as far as sentence structure and grammar I would charge $3/500 words. I am a highly meticulous proofreader and very much a perfectionist when it comes to the English language, and I am also highly skilled at making corrections without changing the author's voice, so I can ensure that your manuscript will be error-free without changing your unique style. Samples of my writing and previous editing work are available in my portfolio. If you have any questions or if you would like more information please don't hesitate to contact me, and thanks for considering my proposal!

Hi, I am a professional freelance proofreader looking to establish myself on this site. Editing is my passion and nothing is more rewarding to me than working closely with a fellow author to ready their manuscript for publication. I am thorough, meticulous and honest with a keen eye for detail. My speciality is polishing up creative writing, giving in-depth critique, amending issues with grammar/plotting/flow and making helpful suggestions whilst still ensuring the author's voice is most prominent. I would love to work with you on your novel and eagerly await your response. Fantasy is my favourite genre (I absolutely adore Clive Barker especially). The imagination and world building that goes into fantasy is very appealing. You're welcome to send me a private message if you have any inquiries about my services. Thank you kindly, Alanna Gardner

Hi there, I'd love to work on your project if you haven't already chosen a freelancer. I'm an English teacher with over 8 years experience. I do plenty of proofread/editing projects and I enjoy working on novels and fictional work... it's a lot more fun than academic papers or essays. I've already proofread and edited 5 novels on this website and you can view their feedback on my profile. If you have any questions for me or would like to see a sample of my work, please don't hesitate to contact me via messenger. Best of luck, Claire

I am an experienced editor and academic writer, with a BA in Creative Writing from the Evergreen State College. English is my native language. I have experience editing and preparing books for publication, in a variety of genres. I am also an avid reader of fantasy fiction. I have ample experience with in-depth line editing. I was the Managing Editor of the Administrative Law Review, and have performed countless editing jobs for government and non-profit organizations. I also taught Writing, Research, and Rhetoric at American University's law school. This experience has allowed me to hone my proofreading and grammatical skills to a meticulous degree. I have a lot of experience in critiquing manuscripts and providing thorough, and constructive, feedback. I also have experience editing ebooks for publication with Panda Books Press. As I mentioned above, I am also an avid fantasy reader. My favorite authors include Neil Gaiman, Ursula K. LeGuin, and J.R.R. Tolkien. I would be very excited for the opportunity to work on this project. Although I have many years of editing experience, I am recently trying to break into the freelancing business. I am willing to work at a low rate to gain positive feedback and build a good reputation on the site. I am happy to edit a page of your manuscript as an evaluation. You won't be disappointed! My bid is negotiable based on the word count of the manuscript. Please contact me if you would like to discuss further.

Hi, I'm an Australian based writer and editor and I'd love to help you with your manuscript. I would suggest picking a few people who have good proposals and asking them to edit the first chapter of your book for free. You will find that all professionals will be happy to do this. Once you've done this you can choose whomever's style you prefer and go from there. I would offer you a two draft system. The first draft will have all corrections and changes tracked for your review and approval. The second draft would be ready to send off for publication. I know this does not seem like the best proposal to get myself the job, but I believe that all stories need to be told the best way they can. If I turn out to be the editor for you that would be fantastic, but if not then at least your story is being told. Kind regards, Georgina

Hello, I am a native English speaker and I have been a writer myself for over 5 years. I specialize in proofreading and I am well versed in grammar and spelling rules for both US and UK styles of English. Please refer to my CV in my portfolio for reference. I have edited and reviewed past novels of varying genres. I can send samples of proofread articles/essays but not novels since I signed NDAs regarding those. I enjoy reading Fantasy novels, so I can provide free additional reviewing and critiquing services as a bonus if chosen as the editor. I use Word's track changes feature for the convenience of both myself and my clients and I always give 100% I also take deadlines very seriously. I look forward to your reply and working with you.

Hello! My name is Maria K. Ruddy. I am a very conscientious editor who has been writing, proofreading, and editing for over 12 years, and I am very interested in your fantasy novel. May I know the word count, please? I have proofread/edited countless articles, essays, eBooks, reports, and a published work of fiction, many of which are in online marketplaces. Please peruse my profile for edited work I've done. I can send many other samples of my work, all of which use the Track Changes feature on Word. The price is negotiable. It would largely depend on the number of pages or words, as well as how much work there is to be done. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions.
