Hello, I recently self-published a short novel. I had it edited beforehand, but I feel I need another professional editor to go over it one more time thoroughly. What I am looking for: - A US, Canadian, Australian or UK editor - Experience as professional editor - Teaching or writing experience a plus - Interest in the Fantasy/Thriller/Surreal fiction genres What I need done: - The work is approximately 60,000 words - I need you to identify/correct any grammar, spelling or wording issues - Suggest the deletion of any unnecessary words - Make any overall suggestions to make it flawless I will pay the balance fully only upon completion of the editing process. More details via private message.

Dear Prospective Employer, I would be delighted to help you with this project. I am Oxbridge educated and, for most of my working life, I have taught in leading UK independent schools. I am now developing my career as a freelance writer and editor and have already gained very substantial experience with both fiction and non-fiction books and short stories (on this platform and others). I am highly regarded by all my clients, being known both for my attention to detail and willingness to intervene proactively with suggestions to enhance clarity and flow, where appropriate. I am familiar with all major style manuals, as applied on both sides of the Atlantic. US English is certainly not a problem at all. I would be delighted to send you a sample of some of my editing for your consideration. Needless to say, it would be fantastic to hear from you with any questions. Best wishes, Dr Alexander Craig

You've finished and published a novel - that's fantastic! Not easily done. What I propose is another look from a professional editor like myself, one who has an eye on increasing the likelihood that the novel will be marketable to an increasing number of readers and distributors. I have done this previously for $1 USD per page with success. Wish you all the best in your endeavor.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to read my proposal. I've been a freelance editor and proofreader since 2012, when I graduated with an MA in English and Creative Writing. Since then I have edited several novels in the pre-publication stage. I especially enjoy (and I feel specialise) in fantasy novels as this is a genre I know best both as a writer and a reader. If you would like to know more about what I can do for you or if you'd like to let me know some more about your novel I'd be delighted to speak more through chat. Best wishes, Louise

The ethos at my college, requires the highest standard of private education, while permitting flexibility to explore and develop a variety of skills. Among these, the pursuit of excellence; a desire to explore creative approaches to problem-solving; a respect for diverse points of view; a strong work ethic and high level of self-motivation. If I do not understand something, I study and research until I do. When a system is not working for me personally, or for the task at hand, I step back and evaluate other approaches that may be more productive. Nearly 4 years of at a local daily newspaper, contributed to the development of my writing, research and editing skills, which have only been enhanced by my college's rigorous curriculum, a summer of academic research and a semester of work for a local journalist. In terms of online work, I recently joined the ranks of online tutors, assisting students in editing, researching and composing their assignments. While I definitely enjoy the writing process, I believe my true forte lies in editing. I have good instincts as to what could improve a writer's content and style. At the same time, I enjoy pouring over a book or essay to see what can help make it into the cohesive masterpiece the writer intended. Work for you will hone my abilities and build my portfolio as I provide quality content and output. I pride myself on excellent work submitted in a timely manner. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your consideration.
