Proofread 78k Word Novel

Good afternoon, I would love the opportunity to read your novel! I'm an avid reader in my spare time, and I have a particular penchant for thrillers. Moreover, I would be happy to post a review on GoodReads/Amazon once your novel is listed. I did a similar project on the website UpWork in December, wherein I read a novel influenced by Ayn Rand and provided my review online. My qualifications are listed as follows: I earned my B.A. degree in Literature from Wilfrid Laurier University, and I am working towards my post-graduate accounting designation at Conestoga College. I was the global editor for Wilfrid Laurier University's magazine for three years. Moreover, I was a copy editor for the university’s newspaper for three years. I have proofread and edited numerous short stories/articles throughout my university career. I have written copy articles for the accounting software firm Intuit for the past two years. Currently, I am self-employed and work for a major finance company. I have flexible hours, and can certainly complete and submit the final copy in a timely manner. Due to the nature of my job, I am accustomed to identifying minor discrepancies and errors. I possess strong attention to detail, and can provide an objective opinion of your piece. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. Please let me know if I can provide any further information. Sincerely, Sarah

Hi there I'm a professional editor with a large back catalog of novels; I can certainly provide you with samples from previous edits. I am more than happy to do a test edit of a couple of pages, so if you would like to send that across, then that would be great. Linguistically, I have a Master's in English and Linguistics - I was also a lecturer in Creative Writing, so you can expect my service to be extremely thorough and accurate. 78,000 words generally takes me 1-2 weeks - I'm not a corporation, nor am I farming my work out to other freelancers - you're just dealing with me.

Hello, You have just posted a project by requesting to proofread/Edit novel. A highly experienced proof reader and copy editor with a First Class Honours degree in English Language and a published author of literacy education books, you can be fully assured of my technical ability and credentials. The correct use of apostrophes, commas and grammar and those pesky spelling rules that catch everyone out might make you squirm but send your words to me and you won't believe how transformed your text will be.

Hiya! I'm happy to proofread your stalker suspense novel (love these types of novels!) as I'm a professional English proofreader with extensive experience in linguistics and writing. I've helped a lot of people polish and refine their manuscripts (fiction and non-fiction), books, novels, novellas, ebooks, short stories, blog posts, etc and I'm pretty sure I can give you a manuscript that is 100% error-free. Also, 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 of future revisions. The finished product will include two copies of the edited text—one that shows the changes (a copy with MS Word Track Changes on), and one that incorporates all of the changes made. These are some of the books I have edited: 'The Shoebox' by Tracy Ploch 'Hiding in the Shade' by Kathryn Wiseman 'The Opposite Effect' by Steve Claydon Much love, Emily (Your potential proofreader?) :-)

Since you've already had a few edits, it seems that you're not looking for any content editing. This means that I can move quickly since I would just be looking for grammar and punctuation. Feel free to contact me to discuss further!

Below are some of my other professional qualifications: I am an organized, experienced professional with more than fifteen years of experience. I have held titles such as Publishing Assistant, Administrative Assistant, Office Administrator, Insurance Administrator, and Graphic Design Artist. I am well-trained in Microsoft Office programs (specializing in Excel) and Photoshop, creating and editing all types of printed material. I design items like t-shirts, banners, brochures, flyers, promotional materials, textbooks, and various other graphic design projects. I am a detail-oriented person that believes in completing a project on time and to the satisfaction of the customer. I am a natural English-speaking person located in the EST of the U.S.

Hi, I can do a really great job with proofreading your novel. I currently run my own editing business, where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Managed an editing and proofreading service for several years Although my bid is higher than your stated budget, I have put in what I consider a low bid for this word count in order to be more competitive on Freelancer and closer to your budget. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done to a high standard by your deadline or sooner. For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I think by "mechanical" read-through you'd just like a proofread rather than any form of edit. Please let me know if I misunderstood. I will: - Check your novel for US spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

The best testimonies to my work style and ethic are my most recent two reviews, for two fiction novels. Farther down is a lengthy tribute from a good ol' boy, for whom I deeply edited a non-fiction book. BTW, what is your deadline? I said 10 days in my bid, but that is negotiable. The first two ladies had me sign an NDA, but Rusty said I could share pieces of his work, all comedic, if you would care to see. I can copy and paste some of the more memorable passages. The work I did most recently was for two paranormal novels from the ladies who gave me the most recent reviews. Let me know if you would like to discuss. I can go as shallow or deep as you like. I am happy to contribute my two cents, if the author doesn't have a problem with IMHO. I can also stick to the script, because, believe me, I know who is working for whom. I'll be glad to work on a sample for you, gratis. I hope I get a chance to talk to you about your project. Thanks.
