Copy Edit an indie author's book

Hi, I am interested in your project to edit your copy book and will make it professional. Kindly share full details, so I could have better idea about it. I have more than 250+ reviews, you can check it. So, I can work on this much better than anyone else. You can also check my portfolio to take an idea about my work quality. Regards, Top Quality Experts

Hi Carol I enjoyed going over the first few pages of your book. It's well-written, so edits will be focused and broadly linguistic; I shouldn't imagine I'll have too many structural suggestions. About me - I'm a professional editor with a background as a lecturer in English and Creative Writing. I have a Master's in English and Linguistics and am from Leeds, England - where I completed my lectureship before setting up my editing business. My editing is as you would expect - all changes tracked with comments where necessary, all language corrected and alterations made where appropriate (consistency of voice / tone / choice of lexis). I am very flexible with deadlines, so if you are in a rush, let me know. I tend to provide the completed manuscript 2-3 days in advance of any specified deadline so that you have a good chance to read through and ask any questions / make any reply comments. Obviously, there's no extra charge for any post-edits following your own review. Get in touch and we can talk about your deadline / editing requirements. Many Thanks Simon Richardson

Hello Carol Robi, Thank you for including a sample of your novel. I would be happy to copy edit your book. My services include correcting the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax and sentence structure. If any sentences are too long, hard to understand, or awkward, I will fix them for you. I suggest that your manuscript be converted from .pdf format to Microsoft Word format. MS Word shows all the changes made so it is easy for you find and approve them. Also, if I have any questions I can leave them in the Comments field so you can see the question in context. It is easy to convert back to .pdf format after you have approved all the changes. Let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Webb, and I’m a professional editor and proofreader with 36 years of experience, which includes working on a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction books, marketing materials, academic papers, and business documents. I offer you excellent quality work. Here at Freelancer.com my work has earned a 4.9 out of 5 rating from my 192 clients, as shown at https://www.freelancer.com/u/jw010699.html. My clients' comments include, "This is my third time working with Julie. I definitely recommend her.” “Great copy editor—she does high quality work and is easy to work with and fast.” “Great! Julie, as always thank you a lot for your attentive editing!” I would enjoy copy editing your book and hope to hear from you soon. Best regards, Julie Webb

Hello, and congrats on writing a book! My name is Jackie, and I would absolutely love to copy edit it for you. I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills. I also have a keen eye and ear for characterisation, voice, flow, sentence structure, story arc, and plot. Perfect prose is my passion--I've edited more than twenty novels, screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. I am currently a writer and staff copy editor with three local publications in my city, and I have worked as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. I have looked over the sample you provided, and have to say that your writing would really only need minimal edits to grammar and punctuation--well done! I see some areas that could benefit from inserting some more colourful prose. This is something I help authors with quite often; using Microsoft Word's Track Changes feature, I can suggest alternate ways of saying something, or insert text to expound upon what's already there, and then you can decide if it works for you. I'd be more than happy to edit your sample free of charge in order for you to determine if I am a fit for your needs--just say the word. :) I also have samples of my prior work and references available upon request. I am American, but also have a good grasp of British English. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Carol, I have seen your uploaded book. The bid remains and I will deliver in 12 days. I always take 2-3 days extra to revisit a book, believe me, you still find errors:) Once I commit, I deliver on time. Cute story by the way. Thank you, Hemina

Hi Carol, I'd like to edit your book. I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations.

Greetings, I took a look at the files you uploaded, and I could copy edit your 70,000-word book, using British phrases and spellings, within six weeks. I am a trained and certified copy editor and proofreader whose ideal client is indie and/or self-publishing authors. I love fantasy and contemporary fiction. Your work is in good shape and drew me in right away. I spotted a few errors, which if you like, I can send you a sample annotation edit so you can see how I work. Just contact me via chat and I will send that to you. How would you like your work edited? I see that a file is pdf, which I can annotate for you, but if you prefer MS Word or Google Docs, I can track changes or suggest edits, respectively. Also, what style guide are you following? Oxford, Cambridge, or another? I would be delighted to work with you to get your book published! Please take a look at my profile, reviews, and portfolio here on freelancer.com, and take a look at my website, https://mulderproof.com. Contact me via chat with any questions you have of me, and to receive my sample edit!

Goodness, Carol! I would be honoured to help you with this project. I can hardly wait to read what happens next. I am a native English (UK) speaker with a love of reading and, despite a varied background, have focussed on editing and proofreading lately. How refreshing it is to come across someone so refreshingly creative in this genre. From this sample, it looks as though there will be relatively little to correct. However, if you're looking for a proper edit, rather than just proofreading, I won't know until I've read the whole book. I estimate 7 to 10 days for the project. We can discuss how you'd like to work, but with pdf format, I usually add notes with suggestions. Then it's up to you whether or not to implement the changes I recommend. I wish you everything of the best whether we work together or not.

I am very much interested and confident to do this task. I will provide quality of work according to your requirements and in time as well. Feel free to contact me to discuss the details so that I can start it right now

Hi, For the past 12 years I am working as a copy editor/language editor. I have edited books and journals of leading international publishers. I am well versed with UK English, spellings and grammar.

Hello, My name is Adam, and catching typos has been a hobby of mine ever since I was a child and learned the difference between there, their and they're. I get no greater joy than finding errors that others have skipped over and inadvertently pushed out into the world. Anything from website copy to magazine ads, published books to product assembly manuals—whenever I catch a double space or misplaced comma I get a rush of dopamine straight to my brain. For example, here's how I would edit your summary: "Summary: Sophie Leighton has just discovered that she is a Faery, and consequentially, is now an official member of the Supernatural Realm. Finding herself in a world of mystery, magic and supernatural beings, Sophie has to navigate her way while struggling with her new identity. Boke Maiga, a witch from the lineage of one of the most powerful and revered sorcerers of all time, has emerged from years of hiding intent on getting justice for the murder of her parents. The two meet at their new school- Drachenburg School for the Supernaturals- which is where all their troubles begin!" If you're looking for something along these lines, and then please consider me for your project. I also have no problem working in British English, as I have done so on countless projects in the past. Thanks for considering me, and I hope to work with you soon!

I am well versed withBritish English, english typing and can complete the work in the stipulated time

Dear Carol, I went through a few pages of your draft. Seems like a good story (though it reminded me of Harry Potter, for obvious reasons). I have been, for the past five years, assisting a US-based Indie (self-published) author in editing his sci-fi and fantasy novels and shorts. I have over 20 years' experience in editing and proofreading, The materials I have worked on range from news articles, to research papers and dissertations, to fiction. I am an aspiring writer myself, though most of my work (mainly sci-fi humour) is still WIP (work-in-progress). Apart from fixing typos, punctuation, grammar, and inconsistencies, I offer comments and suggestions for improvement, to ensure the book is readable and without errors, and all the loose ends are tied properly. I use the 'record/track changes' option, and files in .doc, .docx or .odt formats are fine with me. I work slowly, but diligently. From my experience, it takes between three and six months to line edit a 200/250-page novel. If you are happy with that time-frame, I may be happy to reduce the fees as well. In fact, we can work out a mutually satisfying deal in terms of time and money. Please feel free to contact me. I can also provide a sample page that illustrates my work style. Best regards, S. P.
