I would be happy to proofread your novel. I don't know how large your document is, so I am only guessing at the appropriate level to bid at. Perhaps you could tell me how many words are in the book. Please read my profile, and my reviews, all unsolicited. I'll be very happy with any consideration you give to my interest in your project. I'm in the Eastern US Time Zone.

Hello, I understand that a copy and paste article may need to undergo several modifications for it to pass copyscape. I will modify, edit proofread and re-write the article to meet the required specifications. I will also seek to correct grammar errors and overall try to refine the English language.

Hello and congrats on finishing a novel! My name is Jackie, and I would love to edit it 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. Perfect prose is my passion--I have copy-edited five novels, as well as several newspaper/magazine articles and business publications. I am currently a writer and staff copy editor with three local publications in my city, and I have worked as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. My typical charge is $.006/word. I would be more than happy to edit a sample of your writing free of charge in order for you to determine if I am a fit for your needs. I also have samples of my prior work and references available upon request. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, An experienced and skilled writer with impeccable grammar skill, strong visual awareness, and insists on spelling perfection, you can rest assured that anytime I edit, proofread, and analyze a document of any size it will be returned in tip-top shape and free from errors. Grammatical perfection is a necessity in a finished document, and I will analyze, modify, revise, and reword as necessary so you will be left with a superior finished product. I also do all my editing, proofing, and rewriting manually without the use of any online rewriting programs. When quality counts, contact me. Best regards, Hoffman

The author of six published novels and a collection of short stories (see my freelancer profile for full details), I have over ten years editing and proofreading experience. In that time, I have worked with all kinds of different writers - from debut authors to the far more established - writing in all kinds of different genres: literary, historical, romance, YA, fantasy etc. Familiar with all publishing industry standards, I will edit your small book in three stages. Firstly, a basic edit to eradicate any typos and lapses in grammar etc. Secondly, a more creative edit looking at sentence structure and word choice etc. And thirdly, a final edit to give the manuscript that essential professional polish.

Hello, Collaboration, attention to detail, consistency, patience, creativity, and accuracy. These are all traits I have to bring to the table as an editor. Editing is crucial and must be taken seriously, and very carefully. Not only will I fact check and do my research, I will also look for proper and consistent style and tone. My proofreading, editing, and rewriting abilities allow readers to clearly understand and dive into a piece of writing. I have an eye for altering to the point of creating a successful piece of work, as desired by my client. Regards, Mathinson

Greetings! I'm a US-based editor with over 30 years experience. I *love* helping writers with novels, so I quickly clicked on the "Submit Bid" button. The work you require is something I've spent a lifetime doing. I also do a lot of freelance writing on a variety of topics, but editing is my passion. Since I don't know anything about your manuscript, I simply entered a bid as a placeholder. For the time being, disregard it. I'd really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about your work. I'd also like to know the length of the manuscript in its present form. Then, I can fine-tune a proposal, making every effort to work within your budget. Finally, I'd like to edit 5-10 pages at no cost to you. There's no reason for you to take on a commitment of this magnitude without seeing your editor's work. If all that sounds good to you, please reach out to me. I'd love to work with you. Thanks for reviewing my proposal. David Stahl Baltimore, MD USA PS - Please read my reviews!

I'll be getting to the point so my proposal will be short. I've been writing for 3 years and I also taught English at college for 4 years. In addition, I've done countless tasks of a similar nature and I believe I can help with this proofing activity. Still in doubt? Feel free to challenge my prowess and/or ask for samples. Thanks for your consideration.
