Billiard Book for Beginners

Posted over 9 years ago

$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I am writing an instructional billiards (pool) book for absolute beginners. I need a skilled editor to provide content editing of the first few chapters. The editor should have some knowledge of the game of pool but not be an expert player. I am not looking for copy editing at this point in time. Rather, I need someone who will read the first 7 chapters (140 pages) of my 400+ page book from the viewpoint of a prospective reader and give me suggestions, where needed, to improving readability and flow.

Hi, Your project sounds very interesting and I'd really love to work on it. I enjoy doing research, and especially if the topic is inspiring. As for my experience here, I've been working as a content and article writer, mainly; but, I also did some blog posting, article spinning, audio transcribing, etc. Should you have any questions about me, my work or my experience, I'll be happy to answer. In the meantime, see my reviews and kindly consider my proposal. Kindest regards. Isidora

I'm already experienced in editing books, instructions, acedmic writings etc. I'm also good in reading and correcting things fin the reader's to make things more easily readable and understandable. I would be very happy if you would consider me and discuss the details via private message. So do not hesitate to contact me. We could also argue for specific aspect I should look at and for the price as well. I already have played pool billiards but I'm not an expert - so hopefully that would fit to your expectation.

I have identified areas you need to improve in your book. The title chapter would sound better as (Pool Playing - A Beginner's Guide). My high proofreading/editing reviews confirm the quality of my work. Uniqueness, great sentence and grammar structure, and ease of understanding are my main areas of focus. I will devote adequate time to this, and with high scores in the English exams, you can be sure of a well executed project. Let's discuss further. Thanks.

I have years of experience in book editing, having worked with many authors in both the fiction and non-fiction genres to shape their projects into the best possible manuscripts. I am an excellent, detail-driven reader who values clarity and continuity above all else. My handle of grammar and syntax is superior, but I am more excited to discover how the readability of your work can be improved - if at all. In addition, I am a fair-weather pool player; I believe this will assist in my completion of your project. I work quickly and in a timely manner, and can promptly return your chapters to you. Thank you so much for your consideration - I hope to be in contact with you soon!

Hello there, I am a native English speaker, professional copywriter and proofreader. I am very interested in working on your project. Whilst I have a basic knowledge of the game, as I play it with friends sometimes in the pub, I am certainly no expert. However I do have a very good ability to assess text for readability and have a grade A in A-Level English (which is all about text analysis). I am also a qualified teacher of English as a foreign language and my role as a teacher often requires me to assess and evaluate students' written texts in English. Please do take a look at my profile page to view my CV and to see examples of my work. All the best, Annabelle Skerritt, Oxford, U.K.

Hi, I'm an Australian based copywriter and editor and I'd love to help you with your manuscript. I know the basic rules of pool, though I'm not the best player. I believe I would be the right fit to give you feedback on your first 7 chapters, and am happy to do the first chapter for free- to prove my skills. I would also be able to help you later on with your copyediting and proofreading. Looking forward to hearing from you, Georgina

Hello there, I think you have a nice idea here and I would love to be a part of this project. I'm a novice pool player myself and I must admit I'm quite interested in what else have you written :) and now to the business part. I will outline what exactly I can do for you in next few lines. - Reading the book, and giving you insight to your approach and texture can be done relatively fast in 2 days for 50$. As a sample here is a freebie for chapter 1 - here you should concentrate most of what YOU HAVE to offer, instead of what other books are about and who their target-groups are. You do not want to say "my book is better than..." because you are advertising somebody for free (even if you are vague and add "...professional books wrote in professional tone" - because somebody will read it "oh, this is not professional than?"). What you want to say "my book is the best" and there's whole lot of ways to say that. And also, you should only write about what your book IS about and not mention what your readers will not find in it. As much as they know your book is everything there is about pool. Be cocky about it. That's the best way to convince somebody you have quality. - I know you said you're not interested in copy-editing yet, but hell, I've went and done it anyways seeing no harm in advertising myself a little further :) please contact me in order to deliver you copy-edited 1 chapter, free for you to use weather or not you consider hiring me. Sincerely, Enes Šero
