Hi ebbasteen, If you are looking for someone with experience in editing self-published books, look no further. You have found me. What is the story-line of your fictional book? I do developmental, line, and copy-editing so you have no cause to worry. It appears I have placed a bid on your other project which specified only content editing in our discussion. Kindly contact me for us to continue the discussion. Thank you.

Hello I am wondering if you are looking to self publish via Balboa Press or another platform. I also note that you are registered on Freelancer so it woudl also be useful to know if you are Swedish and therefore the English is 'non-native', even if fluent. I woudl be interested in seeing a small section of your manuscript if that would be possible, and also if you could confirm the actual word count - I appreciate you say 200 pages but I do not know if the text is single or double spaced and it is usually on word count that I base me fees. You will see from my profile that I am a very experienced editor with an unblemished reputation, so you are guaranteed reliability, excellent communication and editing of the highest quality. I look forward to learning more. David Dundas

Hello. A seasoned and expert ghost writer, I have authored several articles and books. I do ghostwriting because as a freelancer I would rather write about anonymously developing various experiences and skills. I will adapt and write the chapter as requested and I have no problems with transferring copyright information to you, with adequate compensation. Regards

Being a professional PhD level academic writer, editor and proofreader, I'd be the best fit for the said task "Need a editor for a fictional book, 200 pages. " 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). As a proofreader and editor (in both scenarios of structural editing and language editing), I am experienced and knowledgeable, with an eye for details. I have the tenacity and predilection to proofread and edit books (fiction and non-fiction), 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. You can fully count on me and I am looking forward to working with you. Thanks

Hi, well-versed and experienced that I am in editing and proofreading, it would take me around 15 days to go through the 200 pages of your fictional book using the tracking tool of MS Word. Henceforth, you could review all the changes that I have made and accept/reject/discuss them before finalizing. Thanks, regards, Vinita.

Greetings! If you are looking for simple regurgitated material please do not select me for the job. I am a professional. I do high level, top of the line writing with excellent grammar. If I am given a reasonable time-frame for completion, I'll get it done. I am also an author of many non-fiction books so I am not new to writing, rewriting, editing, and proofreading material. If I can be of value, please don't hesitate to select me. Thanks Faiza Gull
