£250-750 GBP

Paid on delivery
I have two novels that I want to bring to self-publication. They are in good shape, but need a proofread, and perhaps in certain areas, light editing. Book 1 is a literary piece of 100,000 words. I've already carefully edited and prepared this piece, but it will want light proofing, and a few choice comments. I'll also want each chapter sent over to me for approval as said section is completed. Book2 is a part one of science fiction piece, around 80,000 words currently. Though in fine shape, I think that this piece will need more work than the first book. Editors with whom I work have always reduced their fees after realising my work requires minimal intervention, so I would ask bidders to keep this in mind. Happy bidding, Paul

Hello, I am a British expatriate now living in Belgium and possess native-level knowledge of English in both British and American forms. A professional proofreader who has worked on a variety of publications including books (of both physical and electronic form), PhD and Master's theses, university research department papers and editorial-style opinion pieces, I am used to working on projects that require meticulous attention to detail, infallible accuracy and that have tight deadlines. In particular, I have accumulated extensive experience working with the Political Science department at the University of Freiburg (Germany), as well as the Southeast Asian Studies unit in the same organisation. Much of this work is situated at the highest levels of scholarship. I would be happy to provide a link to an article in which I am credited should you wish to see an example of my work. I am a quick but thorough worker and pride myself on accuracy, as well as the punctuality and clarity of my communications. I am ready to begin immediately and I am confident that you would be satisfied with the quality of my work. Should you wish to discuss the proposal with me further, I would welcome the opportunity to do so. I hope to hear from you soon. Best Regards, scribe218

Hiya, I have put the minimum bid in as I feel there is no need to put it up any higher. I trust your judgment of your own work in that it will require minimum proofreading and checking through. I would love it if you could give me a chance to do this work for you, even at a further reduced price if this is possible. I just want to get my feet off the ground as I know I have the skills to do the job. I feel I would enjoy this task and thus want to ensure the best accuracy possible when proofreading your work. I always find grammatical errors when reading books/novels for pleasure and it irritates me when someone could have just checked through the work with a fine tooth comb. Thank you for your time and I hope you consider me for this work.

Hi, I've lived in America my entire life, so you won't have to worry about having a non-native speaker reviewing your literature if you choose me. Please send me a PM if you'd like to discuss the project further. Thank you.

9 days is for 'light proof reading' only [that's completely subjective!] heavier editing can take around 20 days depending on the degree of intervention required estimating the time / cost before seeing the content is guesswork at best for all the bidders please do keep that in mind when setting expectations / milestones the advance would be a penny for every 10 words or gbp 100 for 100 k words or gbp 80 for 80 k words, etc ideally you should give each book to a different proof reader so you can compare quality and feedback detail [actionability of any suggestions]

Hello Hiring Manager, I'm interested in your project and would appreciate the opportunity. I have 10+ years of proofreading experience. I can proofread the content to your specification, giving attention to details and in a timely manner. I will also eliminate sentences beginning with "and" "so" "but" "well", etc. Remove filler words, jargon such as "you know" "um" "oh" "well". Make sentences complete with start and end. Change run ins and excessive commas in one sentence to multiple sentences if necessary. Change "gonna" to going to, "wanna" to want to, etc... Regards, Aparna Tankha
