Hello, this is Al, a native English speaker and full-time freelance editor. I’d like to know more about your project. I've formatted, edited, and indexed a few nonfiction books. I'd be happy to assist you as well, any weekday. I'm an experienced copyeditor, proofreader, translator, indexer, and layout specialist of MS Word document, compatible with .docx, .pdf, and .html formats intended for print and e-publishing. I hope to hear from you.

I am an experienced and qualified member of the Society for Editors & Proofreaders in the UK. My experience includes editing and proofreading of non-fiction & fiction for publishing companies and authors, using UK and US English. All of my customers have provided excellent feedback on the quality, clarity and added value of my work. I have also been awarded ‘difficult’ projects due to my thoroughness and eye for detail. I pride myself on doing an excellent job, my reliability and meeting tight deadlines. I enjoy my role and being able to help others to develop their creative work. I can proofread your work in Word with tracked changes or in PDF using comment boxes. My services include editing and proofreading, working to or developing a style guide, suggesting improvements on consistency, style, formatting, layout, design etc. I am keen to learn more about your project, so please feel free to contact me to discuss further and learn more about my services. I usually edit 5 pages per hour then proofread 10 pages per hour, so your book will realistically take 70 hours to edit and proofread. I can work for you at CAD$17 per hour so that would be a total cost of CAD$1190 but I can discount that to a round $1000. It would take at least15 days to complete as it is a sizeable project. I'm happy to carry out a test on a sample of your book so that you can assess my services.

Hello, I've written and edited over a dozen books in the past, with 2 being in the 50,000+ words' range. These have been fiction as well as non-fiction. To edit 70,000 words, I'd need roughly a month, and my fee would be approximately $700 (CAD). Of course, I'm not from the US, UK or Canada, but I present a set of advantages. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks, Priya

Hello, and congrats on writing a book book! My name is Jackie, and I would 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. Perfect prose is my passion--I have copy-edited and line-edited five novels, a self-help book, two screenplays, a children's book, an academic journal article, and several newspaper/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 would be more than happy to edit a sample of your writing free of charge in order for you to determine if I am a fit for your needs. I also have samples of my prior work available in the Portfolio section of my Freelancer profile, and will happily provide references upon request. For copy editing, I charge between $.012 to .025/word, depending on how intensive the editing need is. On average, I can proofread about 2,300 words of text in one hour. Since I don't know the word count of your document or the level of editing needed, my current bid is only an estimate. I look forward to hearing from you!

The author of six published novels and a collection of short stories (see my freelancer profile for full details), I have over ten years editing experience. In that time, I have worked with all kinds of different writers on all kinds of different projects - fiction, non-fiction, self-help books, religious and academic texts. Familiar with all publishing industry standards, I will edit your 70,000 book in three stages. Firstly, a basic edit to eradicate any typos and grammatical errors etc. Secondly, a more technical edit focusing on sentence structure and word choice etc. And thirdly, a final edit to give the manuscript that essential professional polish. Additional info: I work with Track Changes in Word, am available to start right away, would provide an interim m/s assessment within 48 hrs of receipt, and could complete the entire project for 600 Canadian dollars in around 7 days.

Hi, I'd like to edit for you. What is your book about? I don't work for an hourly rate - but by a one-time project price based on word count. $50/hour is too high for this site and you're not getting any accurate bids this way. I'd like a sample of the writing before I can tell you how long it will take to edit. I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. Please see my reviews and portfolio on my profile page. Thank you.

Hi You are looking for an experienced editor/rewriter/proofreader. These are areas in which I specialize. You are looking for someone to polish the style and flow of your work. Or you need someone to check your commas and full stops, spelling and grammar. Whatever you need I am an experienced editor. My expertise includes editing documents, articles and books, but I am also a past master at the art of proofreading. Contact me via chat if you want to ask me any details.

I believe you need an experienced writer and editor for your book. I happen to be good at both... especially when it comes to proofreading, which is what you need done professionally for a book that big. 70,000 words requires an adequate amount of time- specifically five or seven days to have it completed properly. It can of course take a shorter amount of time depending on the urgency, but, that may also hinder the accuracy with which the job will be completed. I have carried out editing for scholars and professionals alike for a while now- including editing of two manuscripts to be used as teaching manuals in a University in East Africa. I would be glad to assist you with your said project. Contact me to discuss this further.
