I'm a copy editor of more than 12 years' experience, so I'd be able to correct the errors in your memoirs. I have been working on Freelancer for nearly three years, and if you read my reviews, you will see that all my clients are satisfied with my work. I don't know the word count of your book, so it's not possible to place an accurate bid with regard to the fee and the time frame.

Hello, I am a highly-skilled writer who has strong visual awareness, exemplary grammar and spelling knowledge, and the ability to analyze and modify. When it comes to missing links and correcting errors, look no further. Remember, your content could be a first impression. If you send out material that is riddled with misspellings, grammatical errors, and wrong information, you aren’t going to be presenting a good image of your business? Here is the summary what you have requested. Task: In search of an editor Short Summary: Edit and proofread a book Proposed Deadline: 3 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

My bid is at the top end of the range you have set and this is because you have stated that there will be a lot of work involved. But I can guarantee that my edits will be 100% accurate and the end book will flow well and be grammatically perfect.

How wonderful that you've written a memoir! My name is Jackie, and I would absolutely love to edit it for you. I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills. I also have a keen eye and ear for characterization, voice, flow, sentence structure, story arc, and plot. My passion is well-polished, great writing -- Over the past year alone, I've edited more than twenty-five published works, including thirteen novels, as well as screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. I am currently a writer and associate editor with a publication in my city, and I have worked in the past as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. On average, I edit 2,300 words of text in one hour. I typically charge between $.01 and .025/word, depending on how intensive the editing need is. Since I don't yet know the exact word count of your memoir or the level of editing required, my current bid is only an estimate. I'd be more than happy to edit a writing sample free of charge in order for you to determine whether I am a fit for your needs. I look forward to hearing from you!

To Whom It May Concern: My name is Nadene Seiters, and I’m a professional line editor, copy editor, and proofreader with over seven years of experience working with fiction and non-fiction manuscripts. I use the Chicago Manual of Style, Seventeenth Edition for fiction manuscripts as that’s the one currently used by major publishers and review publications (the New York Times), but I’m comfortable with others if you prefer another style. Examples of my previous work can be found in my portfolio; however, I’d love to complete a sample edit of your manuscript, and I’m willing to sign a nondisclosure agreement before I see any part of it. I’m most comfortable with Microsoft Word, but I can work with Google Docs and PDFs as well. A sample can be sent to me here through the messaging system. My rate is $0.005 per word for editing and proofreading, so I’ll need to know the total word count of your manuscript before I can give an accurate bid. I can complete most manuscripts within seven days or less. Thank you for your time and consideration! Sincerely, Nadene Seiters

Hi. I would be glad to edit and proofread your memoir, correcting the English grammar, spelling, punctuation and sentence structure, and improving the organization and style with which you recount your experiences. I recently wrote (from scratch) the biography of am American musician, and this year I have also edited 2 supernatural thrillers, a collection of romantic short stories, 2 non-fiction self-help books, and the story of a Chinese monk´s search for enlightenment. Although I live in Brazil now, I´m an American writer, editor and proofreader, a native English speaker with excellent language skills and years of experience at helping authors perfect their work. I can use Word´s Track Changes function to show you all my corrections, comments and suggestions in your book, and I can teach you in a few minutes how to use this tool if you´re not familiar with it yet. In order to determine how much time and work your manuscript will need, and consequently how much to charge for my services, I need to know the size of your text, the number of words or pages, and it would be useful to take a look at the text itself. I recommend that we use a Non-Disclosure Agreement to guarantee your author´s rights. Please contact me for further discussion, and let´s put the finishing touches on your memoirs. Thanks, David

I am currently working on editing my third book; all three authors are very pleased with my work. The first book was an anthology of short stories. I continue to work with this author on his answers to interview questions and on his upcoming novel. I am completing a second book which is a very, very complicated, arduous religious book, but the author and I work very well together. I have just started on third, another anthology by different author. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in history from The University of Texas at Arlington. This year marks my thirtieth teaching high school English; therefore, my revising and editing skills are excellent; in addition, I am adept with syntax and style. You do not specify the length of the book, so I just bid at the bottom of your price range. We may have to negotiate a bit if your works are long and/or complicated. However, I am still building my reputation as a freelance editor, so I am reasonable...and I promise, you'll be pleased. I am very detailed and thorough. I'd love to help you with your memoir!!

Hi, What are you searching for when you need somebody to edit or proofread your work? Affirmation. That is the thing that I give to my customers; an accomplished and gifted proficient essayist with faultless language structure expertise, solid visual mindfulness, and an emphasis on spelling flawlessness. Rest guaranteed that when I alter, edit, and investigate a record of any size it will be returned in free of blunders. You require a "linguistic fussbudget, for example, me in the event that you need confirmation. I will break down, alter, overhaul, and revamp as fundamental so you will be left with a predominant completed item. I alter, edit, and revamp the majority of my content physically without the utilization of internet modifying programs. At the point when quality checks, reach me. Best respects
