Hello, and congrats on finishing your novel! I'm sorry to hear that your previous editors were less than exceptional. My name is Jackie, and I would absolutely love to do it right for you.
I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills. I also have a keen eye and ear for characterization, voice, flow, sentence structure, story arc, and plot. My passion is well-polished, great writing -- Over the past year alone, I've edited more than twenty-five published works, including thirteen novels, as well as screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. I am currently a writer and associate editor with a publication in my city, and I have worked in the past as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing.
On average, I edit 2,300 words of text in one hour. I typically charge between $.01 and .025/word, depending on how intensive the editing need is. Since I don't yet know the exact word count of your novel or the level of editing required, my current bid is only an estimate.
I'd be more than happy to edit a writing sample free of charge in order for you to determine whether I am a fit for your needs.
I look forward to hearing from you!
