Hi there I'm a professional editor based in Leeds, UK. My background is as a lecturer in Creative Writing and I have a Master's in English. I have now been editing novels for 10 years - my service includes all linguistic issues (spelling, punctuation, grammar) as well as word choice, tone, consistency of voice, sentence, paragraph and chapter structure and a free critique, as well as pre-publication advice and consultation. I am happy to provide short, free sample edits - just get in touch and we have a chat about the novel itself, and your next steps both with regards to editing and beyond. Many Thanks Simon Richardson

Hi there, I have been a proofreader for more than 20 years and have a wealth of experience to offer. I would welcome the chance to discuss your book in more detail, and if possible to see a sample of your writing in the book. Could you please clarify if you are looking for someone to check for spelling, grammar, punctuation and ensure that it reads correct before publishing? I hope to hear from you via chat so that we can discuss things further. Best regards. Stephanie

Dear Employer, 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 farther. 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: Editing and proofreading a book Proposed Deadline: 5 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

Congratulations on finishing a book. I’m Bella, a professional copy-editor from New Zealand. I have enjoyed working with budding and experienced authors. What sort of editing are you looking for i.e. do you want content editing or copy editing? For long books, I like to work them chapter/section by section to ensure that both parties are happy. Books I have proofread include: - ‘Roots: Memoirs of two cities’ by Collin Chee, - Two of the ‘Single and Blessed’ series by Rebecca Kay, and - ‘Dongbeihua: The Dialect of North-East China’ by Dennis Behnke. I always do a thorough two-read review and provide a copy of my work with tracked changes. I check for spelling, grammar, inconsistencies, and readability. I look forward to hearing from you.

Being a professional PhD level academic writer, editor and proofreader, I'd be the best fit for the said task "want to get it edited and proof reading. the book is a mix of romance, spiritual and inspirational. It is 80k to 90k. " 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. 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). You can fully count on me and I am looking forward to working with you. Thanks
