$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I need an editor for a book I am writing. The book is an alternate history where Napoleon wins the 1812 Invasion of Russia. If you have an pretty good or even passable knowledge of Napoleonic History, it is a plus. You will not only edit, checking for grammer and spelling, but also ensure continuity within the story. Not only making sure that the characters keep a consistent description but also that the story is belivable. There are a few Russian characters that use Russian words and phrases so if you have a good understanding of Russian and can make sure I use the phrases correctly, that's a plus but not required. The story will be given to you by increments of 2 chapters. It's going to be $20 for two chapters. Not the largest amount but I am on a budget. There is over 10 chapters so you'll be getting over $100. My goal is to have it completely done by September. Native English speakers please.

Hello, I consider myself a skilled writer that strives to make the customer happy and completely satisfied. Since I have excellent grammar and spelling capabilities, I am able to determine the concept that is trying to be shared by the customer. I then turn around and correct missing links or other errors and produce refreshed content that is plagiarism-free. No online rewriting tool is needed in this case. It is important to remember that the content of your business plan – not just the appearance – could be the first impression a prospective client may get. If the prospective customer receives a document that is full of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and inaccurate information it can give a poor impression of the presenting business. It would be my pleasure to help you get your content in optimal shape. Regards

Believe it or not, as a writer I take pride in my editing and proofreading skills—all the way to the point where I actually truly enjoy doing it. So, when you give me a task that involves editing, rewriting, or proofreading, I can guarantee that I will take it very seriously, leaving no traces of mistakes behind. Being that I have been writing professionally for years, I have also edited/proofread, or otherwise rewritten my fair share of documents, and I do not accept anything but perfection in my texts. I can track changes and send a separate clean file, as well as work with your comments and suggestions until the document is where we need it to be.

Hi I don't have a good knowledge about Napoleonic history, but I do have very much a passable knowledge. I understand the importance of continuity in any work, especially one that talks about a specific event in history. Chronological flow of information and events is a must, and I am sure I can help you achieve that, and ensure that the quality of content is supreme. Why do I think I can make the content supreme? Well, I have considerable experience writing short stories and books. I have written stories in different genres and am a published author, with my fiction novel Chasing Sanity available in India and the UK. Feel free to request my writing samples through chat to see the quality of my writing. I will be happy to work with you on this project. I shall be able to get this project done within a month. The rate can be discussed based on the size of each chapter, but you can rest assured that the project will be complete well before September.

Dear Employer, I would love to help you by editing and proofreading your rather interesting sounding work. I understand you would pay $20 per 2 chapters. I am a creative writer myself, writing short pieces and poetry, and currently a short novel. My knowledge of napoleonic history is very limited, but you can be sure I would do some reading up on the subject if you awarded me the project. Thank you for your consideration. David

I'm a student of English and Literary Department and as such my knowledge of grammar is sharp and I possess great editing skills, looks like a lot of work but if given the job I can effectively proofread the entire 10chapter while making little research on the Napoleon and Russian subjects involved to ensure this piece comes out in its best form.
