$250-750 USD

Paid on delivery
I need help proofreading and completing a 74,000 word memoir. The majority of the book has already been completed. In particular I am looking for help avoiding repetition in dialogue such as using "I said" or "She said" too frequently. I want to have any grammatical errors fixed and add in a table of contents. I have a book cover designed and would like to know what else is needed to properly finish the book. Things such as a back cover or a prologue. I plan on releasing the memoir in April and want to make sure everything is at industry standard. If you have any questions about this project just let me know. Thanks!

Hi there, I'm a freelance editor and writer with twenty years of experience. I've written everything from screenplays to articles to short stories and have edited many hundreds of pieces of fiction and non-fiction. During the last two years, I've specialized in writing children's books and stories and have had great success. I've written for a former American Idol, the daughter of the screenwriter of FOUR CHRISTMASES, actor Christian Campbell, professionals in the medical and mental health fields, and many more! I'm also an author and editor for Scandinavia Publishing House, having written their You 'n' Me Baby Bible and edited both Bible Stories for Brave Boys and Girls books. When you go with me, you get someone who will listen carefully, who is empathic, and will go the extra mile in making sure you've gotten your money's worth. I enjoy communicating and getting everything right the first time, so everyone's happy. I can professionally edit your manuscript and make it ready for publication. I'm looking forward to working with you. Regards, David
