Hi danabowen92, Congratulations for writing your first book! I am the professional editor you would love to work with.

Hello, I would be happy to edit your book. I will make sure the book is clear and easy to read, that the book is broken into chapters at the appropriate points, and fix any sentences are too long, hard to understand, or awkward. I will also correct the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax and sentence structure. Your book will be ready for final formatting and publishing when I am finished. Would you like me to use Canadian or American English? I work in both. Let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Webb, and I’m a professional editor and proofreader with 36 years of experience, which includes working on a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction books, marketing materials, business documents, academic papers and research reports. My Bachelor's degree is in English. I use Microsoft Word with the Track Changes feature turned on. I offer you excellent quality work. Here at Freelancer.com my work has earned a 4.9 out of 5 rating from my 194 clients, as shown at https://www.freelancer.com/u/jw010699.html. My clients have commented, “Great! Julie, as always thank you a lot for your attentive editing!” "This is my third time working with Julie. I definitely recommend her to others who need their work polished.” “Julie does excellent and professional work.” I would enjoy editing your historical fiction novel and hope to hear from you soon. Congratulations on becoming an author! Best regards, Julie Webb

Hello, I am a highly-skilled writer who has strong visual awareness, exemplary grammar and spelling knowledge, and the ability to analyze and modify. When it comes to missing links and correcting errors, look no further. Remember, your content could be a first impression. If you send out material that is riddled with misspellings, grammatical errors, and wrong information, you aren’t going to be presenting a good image of your business? Here is the summary what you have requested. Task: I need an editor for a novel Short Summary: Proofread and edit 100 pages Proposed Deadline: 4 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

Hello! I’m an Australian English native speaker and experienced copy and line editor and I’d be delighted to help you edit your novel. Even though I am not an author, I am applying because I believe that creative writing skills and editing skills are quite different. I can’t write, but I am good at getting inside a novel’s world to see what is out of kilter – and correcting/changing it so it enhances the feel of the novel. For the copy editing I’ll carefully check its spelling, grammar, punctuation and syntax, and ensure it uses spelling, hyphenation, numerals, fonts and capitalization consistently. For the line editing I’ll check its paragraph structure, sentence flow, word choice and language-related techniques. I’ll chat with you as I go about any issues I spot, so they can be dealt with immediately. I do see this as a cooperative process. I’m careful and thorough in my work. You’ll see that in the before-and-after Track Changes samples in my Freelancer Profile, even though they are not fiction which I now do (and prefer). To maximize the chance of your being happy with my work, I’d like to suggest: 1. I edit the novel. 2. I return you the edit to check and add any queries/changes/additions you want. (Clients sometimes want to add detail to clarify points at this stage.) 3. I re-edit the novel taking your additions into account and ensuring it’s polished and professional overall. My work makes my clients happy! Regards Deborah
