£20-250 GBP

Paid on delivery
I have written a 95,000 word novel which is in desperate need of proofreading/editing....I feel (or should I say, I hope!) that my skills lay more in the story telling department and less in the technically correct grammar and formatting! I am keen to make my manuscript as polished as possible and am also open to feedback.

I registered with Freelancer in February this year and have 48 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. I have ongoing freelance work editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer - and an article about me has recently been published https://www.freelancer.com/community/articles/57-year-old-discovers-a-lucrative-career-on-freelancer-com Other recent work has included proofreading five theses, as well as individual chapters of academic writing. For two years I was a copy editor for Elsevier Science Publishers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, rewriting text by authors who were not native English speakers. I have worked with individual clients to bring 14 books to publication and three of these clients have rehired me to work on a second book. Having been a teacher of English in high school for several years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own. I would use the Track Changes tool for your manuscript, inserting comments where necessary.

I have been a freelance editor for over 5 years, and creative manuscripts are my absolute favorite. I have edited everything from sci-fi to memoir. Much of what I do is non-fiction, of course, as I have PhD in English. All that means is that I have great attention to detail -- mistakes will not get by me. Fiction is especially interesting because one must make allowance for tone and voice, while respecting the conventions. I work with Track Changes and Comments so that you can see and accept every change I make. I would be honoured to work with you!

Hi, I am an experienced academic writer, proofreader and editor. I am English and based in Lancashire, so you can be assured that I have the natural understanding of our language. You may, and will, get lower bids (especially from overseas bidders) but I can guarantee all my work will be completed to an impeccable standard and you will not have to worry about any common errors from proofreaders not native to the UK. Please feel free to request samples of recently edited work that I have completed so you can feel confident I have the literary and grammatical skills to complete this. I am probably the opposite as you are, I can edit any novel perfectly, but I lack any creativity to actually compile one myself. Despite this, I will make suggestions regarding sentence structure and the continuity of the novel. All changes will be tracked so you can review any suggestions and necessary changes. I am comfortable with all word processing and desktop publishing programs and I will have this completed within the time stated. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank You, Andrew

Hello, I am a 35 year old, native English speaker (U.S. citizen), living and working in France, with more than 16 years of experience working as a teacher, translator and editor/proof reader. My clients are both companies and individuals, previous editing projects include websites, novels, articles, etc. On top of the prerequisite correcting of grammar, syntax, spelling and punctuation, I'm skilled at reformulating and sharpening the content, all the while respecting your original voice and intent. My flair for creative and compelling writing moves me to make suggestions and find solutions to improve the general flow of the content. It's crucial to grab the reader's interest and to hold on to it, tightening your grip as the reader moves further along the pages. I'd be more than happy to share ideas and advice to achieve this. I take every project very seriously and aim to exceed my clients' expectations. I'm professional, insightful, passionate and thorough. I provide regular updates during the project, and remain in touch after project completion for questions or new ideas. I provide both change tracked and final versions for your convenience, May I ask what your novel is about ? Thank you for taking the time to consider my proposal. Kind regards, Laure
