Hello! I’m an expert editor/proof-reader, an English native speaker and from Australia - and I’d be delighted to edit your novel, so it is free of errors in grammar and punctuation and has no typos. I’ll also proofread it to make sure everything looks professional! I’ll certainly maintain your writing style so the book still sounds like you! I’m an experienced editor/proofreader and love using my skills to add value to what a writer has created so it is more reader-friendly. You’ll find before-and-after samples of my work in Track Changes in my Freelancer Profile. If you’re interested, I’ve found that the following process works very well for my clients. 1. I’ll edit the book. 2. I’ll return it to you for your comments/suggestions/queries/changes. 3. I’ll proofread the manuscript taking your additions into account. My two Milestones relate to steps 1 and 3. I hope you are not in a hurry, as I’d like to allow 18 days for steps 1 and 3 to clear up issues as I come across them – and so there is time to do your book justice. Do you want this done in US English for an international market - or in Indian English for an Indian market? My work makes my clients happy! Looking forwards to hearing from you regards, Deborah

The author of seven published novels (see my freelancer biography for details), I have over ten years editing and proof-reading experience. In that time, I have worked with all kinds of writers - from debut authors to the more established - working in all kinds of different genres: literary, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, historical, etc. Familiar with all publishing industry standards, I will edit your manuscript in three stages. Firstly, a basic edit to eradicate any typos, grammatical errors etc. Secondly, a more creative edit looking at structure, pacing and word choice. And thirdly, a final edit to give your manuscript that essential professional polish. Please note, I am a native English speaker and will use track changes when editing

Hi there! I'd like to offer my proofreading skills as I've been a writer myself for about 10 years. And I know that a book needs to have a fresh look to be turned into a final and complete stage. I've completed various proofreading and ghostwriting projects for international employers where I was only a proofreader or a writer and a proofreader. I'm natively bilingual, received a major in English language and Literature and I was an English teacher for 6 years preparing students for international exams like TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC. Therefore, I believe that I fit this project most and I'd love to discuss more details in the chat.

I am a doctoral student specialized in the anthropological and historical study of South Asian religion and medicine. Since I have spent many years studying alongside especially Indian students, assisting them with oral presentations and editing their papers for class, I have become very familiar with the kind of mistakes which are made by such English second language speakers. I lived in Mysore, Karnataka for 3 months as well, so I've really developed an eye and an ear over time for catching mistakes that go beyond the average English writing style.

I am a native English speaker living in the UK, and I have some proofreading experience; the longest project I was involved in was proofreading and editing an autobiographical novel. I read a wide variety of fiction including romance, and I would be interested in correcting any grammatical and lexical errors. I will not change your writing style. I can edit 6 pages an hour, and I estimate it'll take me 29 working hours. I have left the time frame at 10 days in case I have other work at the same time as undertaking your project, but I could do it in about 4 days if I have no other work. Feel free to contact me for more information.

I understand the client needs their romantic thriller novel edited for grammar, punctuation, and typos. They do not want the writing style touched at all. I also comprehend that I own no claim to this novel and agree to not claim any part of it, or share it with anyone or any entity.
