$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I have completed a manuscript for a dystopia YA novel with some moderate sci-fi elements. It's about 103,000 words total. I'm currently editing it myself right now, but I will submit it to publishers later. I would like someone with more professional experience than myself to edit it more thoroughly before I start submitting it to the publishers.

Hi there, I noticed your project and would very much like to be considered. I have worked in my field of expertise for many years, long before joining this and other similar websites for freelancing. I am a responsible professional and take pride in every project I undertake. Unlike many others on this site, I do not outsource any of the projects I am awarded, but undertake each one myself to ensure my clients the best results. I use track changes in Word and would check your Dystopia YA novel for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure and flow and enhance the vocabulary where required. Please get in touch so we can discuss your requirements further. Best Regards Stephanie

I have the tenacity and predilection to proofread and edit books, magazines, websites, as well as publications aimed at special audience such as academic writing journals or business reports. With a PhD in English as well as years of experience in curriculum design and teaching writing at various levels, I am skilled and knowledgeable in all types of proofreading and editing tasks. When it comes to editing and proofreading, I make sure that: The text is free of errors like typos, misspellings, grammatical mistakes, and punctuation errors. The content is engaging and readable to the readers’ retina. Style and tone is correct. Everything in the text conforms to the acceptable editing standards. I will provide you with 2 MSWord files upon completion, first one with the highlighted proofread version( so that you can figure out the proofreading) and the second with the accepted changes version (the final document). You can find and download the sample edits with track changes at https://www.freelancer.com/u/Naeem2011.html You can fully count on me and I am looking forward to working with you. Thanks

Yes, my bid is higher than some. But making the magic that sets your book apart doesn't come cheap! Send me a chapter to edit for free, and I think you'll see why it's worth paying a little more for my expertise. As an award-winning wordsmith with 38 years of editing experience, I have sharpened to a high degree my ability to choose the most accurate, the most scintillating words to make anyone's writing stand out. Imagery, imaginative phrasing, a sense of humor, and creative insights are my hallmarks for helping writers succeed. In the past year, I've edited eight books -- a children's story, a self-help book, an illustrated handbook aimed at the entrepreneurial crowd, two personal journals about spirituality, one thriller set in Africa and the UK and another set in the Mideast, and a young adult romance novel. I have a gift for making dialogue resonate with readers, and my keen eye for characterization in fiction is highly developed. I would love to help you with your project. Talk to you soon!

I have my Bachelors Degree in English Education. I have been teaching for over 14 years, so I proofread, edit and give feedback on a daily basis. I charge $.005 (half a penny) USD per word plus the freelancer fee. I have proofread anything from fiction novels and business plans to legal documents and master thesis papers. I am a native speaker who was born and raised in the US. Be careful that you don't chose someone who has a great picture (taken from the internet) and claims to be native.

I am a professional writer and editor with over 20 years' proofreading experience, and I am interested in working on your novel editing project. I have a degree in Creative Writing, and I have been working as a freelance editor for the past seven years. My experience includes several YA novels, as well as science fiction manuscripts. Unless otherwise requested I do all of my editing using the Track Changes feature of Microsoft Word, including both inline edits and comments. My rate for basic copy editing/ proofreading is $1/500 words, and I can complete a project this size within 10 to 14 days. Samples of my writing and previous editing work are available in my portfolio. I do want to mention that I have a somewhat low completion rate on Freelancer due to several scam projects, so if you have any concerns after looking over my profile I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have, as well as provide you with references from previous clients. I’d also be willing to edit a short portion of your manuscript as a sample of my work at no charge so you can decide if our styles are a good match. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you’d like any additional information, and thanks for considering my proposal!

Good day Sir/Madame It would be great to know more about the book you need to be edited, and what kind of audience you are addressing. I have an extensive experience (5 years) as an editor, mostly in journalism and academics, but in my free time I also love to deal with fiction, and I have a soft spot for horror/dark fantasy and sci-fi. Please, feel free to contact me in case, so we can discuss the details in further. Best regards Michele Anoardi

Hi there...I understand you're looking for a professional editor for your book? I can see why you'd want to edit it yourself, but you'll miss the more obvious adjustments since you'll read what you want to see rather than what you've actually written - in my experience this is always the case! I would normally charge more but I see you have a budget limit of $250, so am happy to do it for that and have it back to you within a week. I have years of relevant editing experience and will edit for tone of voice, continuity, spelling and grammar and anything else you might require. Feel free to send me a message and we can discuss your needs further! Best wishes, Chris McDonald
