Congratulations on finishing your second book. Can we know how many words it is? This affects the time frame and bid amount. I have edited more than 50 books, both fiction and non-fiction. I have been working on the Freelancer platform for three years and all my reviews are good. Aside from that, I am the copy editor for several entities, and I have been doing this sort of work for more than 10 years. I would use the Track Changes tool for your manuscript, to show the changes that I make.

Hello, I'm an experienced editor and would be happy to edit and proofread your new book. What have you written about? My work is careful and thorough. My services include checking and correcting the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax and sentence structure. If any sentences are hard to understand or awkward I will fix them for you. If any elements of the story need to be resolved, I will either fix it myself or leave a note in the Comments field if it needs your attention. Is there anything you would like me to pay special attention to? Let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Webb, and I’m a professional editor and proofreader with 36 years of experience, which includes editing/proofreading a variety of fiction and nonfiction books, academic papers and textbooks. My degree is in English, and I use Microsoft Word with the Track Changes feature turned on. Last year I edited/proofread 27 books. Here at Freelancer.com, my work has earned a 4.9 out of 5 rating from my 156 clients, and my Repeat Hire Rate is 24%, which is very high compared to my peers. I also work at Upwork dot com where I have earned a 99% Job Success Score and the Top Rated Award. Comments from my clients include, "This is my third time working with Julie, she has done a good job and took care of the details. I definitely recommend her to others who need their work polished," and “Julie does excellent and professional work.” I hope to hear from you soon. Congratulations on your new book! Julie Webb

I would love to discuss your book with you. No doubt you have put a lot of work into it, and want to be confident in your editor. I have done several books, and am currently finishing up on a sci-fi novel and a guide to, and history of, deer hunting, believe it or not. I see all kinds in this line of work. I can look at your first chapter, gratis, prior to award, to allow you to review my work. Thank you for any consideration.

Hello, I am a University educated (native English speaking) Canadian with experience in N. America and Europe. My English score is 98% and my expertise is in proofreading and editing manuscripts. I recently edited the book Ignorance Paradox, a 27, 000 word publication and a book for children, Friends are Forever, a 140, 000 word publication. I would be interested in editing your second book for you. My work is not showcased to respect the privacy of my clients, but I have provided reviews of my work below. I do not outsource my work to other Freelancers and you can expect quick communications, quality work and quick turnaround time. Some of my 5 star editing reviews: 1) “Delivered on time with excellent quality. I'm highly satisfied and she is highly recommended.” 2) "Ena was a delight to work with... fast with communications and even faster with turning around a high quality editing task. Will use her again in the future." 3) "Great editor! Fast work, clear communication!" I hope we get to work together and look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, Ena

Hello! I am Lori and I am an MD, as well as a professional writer and editor for over 25 years. It sounds like your book may not be that long, but either way, I am your most qualified editor! I have edited enumerable ebooks on Amazon, and 13 hardcopy books sold in bookstores and online. My process is to read and line-edit as I go through. I correct sentence structure, grammar, and all that you would expect. In the margins of the tracked changes document, I will make comments, ask you questions on your meaning, reasoning etc. and make suggestions, My goal here is to create thought dialogue between us that can make your book bigger, better, and a class act all the way, Read my feedback- I am excellent at what I do, and have a 25% rehire rate, After we exchange thoughts, I will put final edits in place, and not until then. I like to break the edit into sections, so while you review any comments of one section, I am editing the next. I am very communicative and like to drop you a note each day as to progress. Obviously, the final say is only yours, and I will comply with your wishes, even if they are different than my suggestions. My goal is to make this book marketable, You have published so you know how it goes, and I assume you have an agent and publisher. If anything needs to change there, I also query agents, and get my writers' work on the top tier, I hope we can work together- novels are my forte- Hope to talk to you soon! Best- Lori
