Edit Something

Closed Posted Feb 28, 2014 Paid on delivery
Closed Paid on delivery

My first novel is almost ready to go to print and I need an eagle eye book editor to read and review it thoroughly to make sure there are NO typos or grammatical errors, and check for ANY inconsistencies that the design works and that the book is ready to go. The book has been edited a few times and Im not satisfied with finding on my own errors and inconsistencies. I want to correct some of the urban jargon/slang without interuppting the message of the book.

The editor should make the writing "clear, correct, concise, comprehensible, and consistent." The editor should make it say what it means, and mean what it says. The work should correct spelling, punctuation, grammar, terminology, jargon, and semantics. I expect to have a product returned to me that has a good text flow. If a passage is unclear or an assertion seems questionable, I expect the editor to ask me to clarify it.

PLEASE BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SAMPLE EDITS OF BEFORE AND AFTER WORKS DONE BY YOU TO BE CONSIDERED!!!

If you are a all in one and can typset for the 8.5 x 5.5 and for epub I will be willing to compensate for the all in one package.

Thanks in Advance
