I'm looking for a Book Editor to review a short fiction book (25,423 words in 57 pages). I want to self-publish this book and need editorial services first. The book is an adventure (fiction) but introduces Project Management concepts in each chapter. I don't need a Project Management expert, just an editor.

Hi – I'm a professional editor and proofreader with a BA in English Language and Literature. I would be happy to edit your 25K-word short fiction book in 3 days. Throughout my career, I've helped a lot of clients polish their fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, business documents, books, novels, ebooks, short stories, blog posts, articles, presentations, etc. Besides ensuring a document is free of grammatical errors, I pay attention to clarity and coherence, lexical choice, accuracy and consistency of syntax, and readability. To ensure privacy, I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects but I may keep a copy of your document on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing. The finished product will include two copies of the edited text—one that shows all of the amendments that I have made (a copy with MS Word Track Changes on), and one that incorporates them. These are some of the books I have edited: 'Looking for Dei' by David Wilson (fantasy) 'The Shoebox' by Tracy Ploch (adventure) 'Hiding in the Shade' by Kathryn Wiseman (self-help) ‘The Opposite Effect', 'The Future of Selling' and 'The Project Principle' by Steve Claydon (business development)

*I understand you don't need a Project Manager expert, but an editor, but I am ALSO a Project Manager, as a bonus. Hi, I am an American ELITE BOOK EDITOR and PROOFREADER who will METICULOUSLY EDIT your ADVENTURE FICTION MANUSCRIPT that includes PM Concepts in each chapter. As a book editor, I go DEEP into the CHARACTERS, PLOT, and PACE of the DIALOGUE. I check for CONTINUITY, STORYLINE FLOW, POINT of VIEW (POV) ERRORS, and TIME-PERIOD ACCURACY. [Or if it’s NON-fiction, I SCRUTINIZE the book's CORE THEMES, FOCUS, CONTENT, SUB-TOPICS, and CONCLUSIONS]. Sometimes I serve as a “DEVELOPMENTAL EDITOR” (10+ years’ experience at a BOOK PUBLISHER), which involves suggesting IMPROVEMENTS to CHARACTERS, CHAPTER FLAWS, and PLOT/THEME DEFICIENCIES (if any) and I POINT OUT MISSING ELEMENTS the author may not know are MISSING. Of course, I will leave no grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors. The end result will be flawless. I REGULARLY EDIT 20,000 to100,000-WORD DOCUMENTS, which assures that I will COMPLETE the editing process on your Project. Some editors tire out at about the 15,000-word mark. ATTRIBUTES: FAST | ACCURATE | VERSATILE | COMPETENT | DILIGENT. **CLIENT REVIEW, FEB. 2020: “Prof BJ did a fantastic job for us. He is an excellent editor & proofreader. Hire Prof B J!” ~editorSEARCH

I'll be very happy to help you by editing your book. I typically use tracking in Microsoft Word and offer comments as far as story flow and readability are concerned. I hope you'll take the time to read my profile, including client reviews and samples of my editing. I think the contents of my profile will give you a better idea of my capabilities then I could ever explain on my own. Thank you for any consideration.
