Hi there First off, congratulations on getting to this stage; not everyone can say they've been able to pen an autobiographical work. I can certainly help you on an editing, publishing and coaching basis. I have been working as an independent editor for a few years now, alongside my main job as a university lecturer in English and Creative Writing. I train my students in novel writing skills - this consists largely of investigating character development, flow and tone, or in the case of autobiographies, linking stories and creating interest. My own Master's is in Linguistics though, so I also have a trained eye for errors and language that can be improved. Over the last few years, I've also helped with a number of publishing proposals, so I have a few templates we can look at together - and I can help you put something compelling together that gives you the best possible chance of publication. Get in touch for a chat - I like to have a bit of a consultation with my clients first; it's good to get to know authors and for you to get to know me, so you are sure you like the way I work. Many Thanks Simon Richardson

Hi! I'd love to discuss your book. Having ghostwritten a number of memoirs, I understand what constitutes a great story--a publishable one ( : I believe the job of an editor is to give the writer a fresh set of eyes with which to view the work and perhaps offer perspectives not previously considered. You can actually check out my overall writing style and tone at my site: scribassist.com. My approach to writing is based upon taking chances as far as being ultra creative and ultimately making a significant impact on that reading moment in a person's life! You have to be smart about how you utilize words and sentences; screen/page space is a precious commodity not to be wasted. Anne

Hello, well done on nearly completing your autobiography! I can edit your work so that is 100% publishable (I have a degree in English, and London-Based proofreading/editing training), and error-free. I'd also be happy to rewrite/make suggestions if needed. I have my own publishing company and would be happy to publish it for you in paperback and kindle via Amazon (but with my own publishing house's ISBN), and this would include all formatting and cover design. If you'd prefer to submit the book to a larger publisher then I can get the manuscript into the best format possible for these purposes.

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.

Hooray! Your book is almost done! It sounds like you've put your blood, sweat, and tears into it, and I'm excited for you. My name is Jackie, and I would absolutely love to help you the rest of the way to publishing. 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 staff writer and associate editor with my city's monthly magazine, and I have worked in the past as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. My bid is just an estimate, as I don't know the word count of your book or how extensively you'd like me to help you. That could be worked out through one-on-one communication; possibly an hourly rate would work best. 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. You can also check out the portfolio I've uploaded to my profile page here on Freelancer. I look forward to hearing from you!
