I am needing a skilled copy editor for a historical fiction novel manuscript, who has the skills to find critical errors, and make the ms consistent throughout. We will be sending it to the publisher upon completion of the copy edit. It's a 210,000-word manuscript. It has already been through three different professional editors who have completed a round of developmental, technical, and a line edit. I need someone with experience in working with very large manuscripts, someone with NATIVE American English skills, and a background in English composition is preferred, but not mandatory.

Hi! I have gone through your project details on this editing task. Is it only grammatical editing or do you want me to enhance the content as well? It will be great if you show me at least a small portion, 1000 words will be good. As a professional writer with over twelve years of result-oriented experience, breathing a new soul in words is what I am all about! Whether writing my own thoughts or, perfecting those written by others, I deliver high-quality content in accordance with clients' requirements. I will suggest changes to improve the clarity and flow of your text, but I work with a light hand to leave your distinctive voice and tone untouched. I treat all text with the utmost respect for copyright and confidentiality. I work in Microsoft Word, and unless you request otherwise, I track changes. I am your best bet. To see some of my sample work, please knock!

Hi there, Having gone through your brief, I believe I'll be a good fit for the job. I offer an affordable and quality service. In my 6+ years as a proofreader and 2+ years as an editor, I’ve worked on various write-ups and platforms. From blogs to theses; articles to books and SAT math practice questions to the English questions. I’ve worked for both natives and non-natives. I take my time with every job I handle and aim to deliver spanking clean copies all the time. I’m open to a test before commencing the job. At the end end of the day, rest assured of an error-free copy. May I ask that we talk further over chat. Kind regards, Kayode.
