Hello. I am a professional, native English speaking editor who works quickly and thoroughly. I can ensure that your manuscript is free from grammatical errors and can also help with word choice and sentence structure, as necessary. I am including below a few reviews I have received for similar projects. You are welcome to visit my profile to view my additional reviews. Thank you for your consideration. “She is the best!

I highly recommend her if you need your work done professionally and on time!” “klboots performed an edit and a detailed critique of my 75,000 word novel and I could not be more happy with the final product! The comments were so helpful and I feel will really enhance my story. I will definitely hire again, thank you!!” “Klboots did an excellent job proofreading and editing my novel! She paid attention to detail and greatly improved my book's structure! I plan on re-hiring her very soon! Thanks again!!!” “Quick turnaround; very thorough review; her comments were helpful and thoughtful and made my document a better story. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!” “Amazing proof-reader!

I am an English teacher, with a Master of Applied Linguistics. I am highly skilled in all areas of English spelling, grammar and vocabulary, and as a native speaker, will be able to ensure fluency and accuracy throughout your work. You have not specified whether this is a novel or a non-fiction manuscript. However, I can do either. For both styles of book, I can not only correct the spelling and grammar of your work, but I can also assist with content structure and organisation within the book. For fiction manuscripts, I can also offer advice on characterization and plot development, as required. You will notice that I have already edited a number of novels and non-fiction manuscripts via this site, with excellent results. I will provide the same high quality for your work. I will use the 'track changes' feature in Microsoft Word for all editing work, and you can expect to receive your completed edit within one week.

Hi, I'm a South African editor/proofreader currently based in Guatemala. I work in most varieties of English, including Canadian English. My work is extremely thorough. (Instead of just checking grammar and spelling, I also look at lay-out and formatting and check absolutely everything: words and phrases in other languages, people's names, etc. In addition, I improve phrasing and structure when needed.) I'd be happy to do a sample edit for you, should you prefer. Looking forward to hearing from you! Kind regards Linell

I just saw your posting for an editor, and I knew that this was an opportunity I could not pass up. You can rely on me to provide a keen eye for grammar, consistency, and other editorial details; suggestions for revising unclear or awkward language; and an ability to edit in a timely fashion. All edits will be to Chicago Manual of Style standards (unless you have another preference) and noted in Word's track changes feature, so you can accept or reject changes at your discretion. Works that I have edited include: Cold Hollow and Weaving the Web by Emilie Howard (mystery) Melody of Murder and Lightning Strikes by Theresa Parker (paranormal mystery) Steel Storm and Hard Nova by Casey Calouette (science fiction) Bartleby and James by Michael Coorlim (steampunk fantasy) If I Go by Diane Molberg (literary fiction) Clockwork Twist series by Emily Thompson (steampunk fantasy) Tales of a Traveling Soul by Julie Brand (memoir) The Handbook for Life by Pamela Keller (self help) If You Want Me by July Hall (romance, to be published in 2016) After the Storm by Osar Adeyemi (Christian fiction) Testimonials from some of my clients are available. I would be happy to edit a 500-word sample of your manuscript to give you an idea of my editing style and help you determine if my services are a good match for you. Thank you! I look forward to hearing from you. -Kelly Cozy
