Being a professional PhD level academic writer, editor and proofreader, I'd be the best fit for the said task "I have written a 21000 word memoir (planning on self publishing as Ebola). I need a professional to edit it for the final time. " I will provide you with 2 MSWord files upon completion, first one with the highlighted proofread version( so that you can figure out the proofreading) and the second with the accepted changes version (the final document). As a proofreader and editor (in both scenarios of structural editing and language editing), I am experienced and knowledgeable, with an eye for details. I have the tenacity and predilection to proofread and edit books (fiction and non-fiction), magazines, websites, as well as publications aimed at special audience such as academic writing journals or business reports.  With a PhD in English as well as years of experience in curriculum design and teaching writing at various levels, I am skilled and knowledgeable in all types of proofreading and editing tasks. When it comes to editing and proofreading, I make sure that: The text is free of errors like typos, misspellings, grammatical mistakes, and punctuation errors. The content is engaging and readable to the readers’ retina. Style and tone is correct. Everything in the text conforms to the acceptable editing standards. You can fully count on me and I am looking forward to working with you. Thanks

Hi there! I’m Deborah and I’d be delighted to do the final edit for your memoir! You say this is a ‘final edit’, but what exactly are you looking for from it? A final check on grammar etc? That the feeling-tone is consistent throughout? That there are no ‘missing bits’? That the language is simple enough/appropriate? That there is a sense of impetus throughout? OR … ? I can do all of those, but your answer will affect the edit obviously! I am a native English speaker and an experienced non-fiction editor. Apart from accuracy of grammar and punctuation etc, my work is marked by simple but non-clichéd language choices. I aim for good sentence flow. At the same time, I am very sensitive to the nuances of the English language. You can see examples of my non-fictional editing/proofreading in Samples 1-4 in my Freelancer Portfolio. I have also done a lot of academic editing/proofreading, but I can’t show you as those writers require anonymity. I suggest two Milestones: editing and a proofread. Would you like to see/check/possibly tweak the memoir between the initial editing and the final proofread? That will give you greater certainty that the memoir is ready for publication to your satisfaction. Some other questions: • Is this done in US English – or Australian English? • Do you have a tight time-frame for this – as opposed to the more generous ones I allowed for the Milestones? Regards Deborah
