Congratulations on completing your novel. I would be able to check the punctuation and improve the flow. I have edited over 100 books, many of them via Freelancer, where I have been working for three years. I have been a copy editor for over 12 years, and currently I have a copy editing role with several entities, as listed on my Freelancer profile. I would use the Track Changes tool for your manuscript, to show that changes that I make. Can we know the word count of your novel so that we know the amount of work involved? Thanks.

Hi! I have gone through your project details on this proofreading task. Please share a small draft so that I can check the amount of work involved. I'm detail oriented and eagle eyed, especially when it comes to proofreading for spelling, grammar, and punctuation using either American or British standards. I love helping writers to hone their work and elevate it to its highest potential. 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 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 - I'm happy to edit and proofread your novel as I'm a professional English proofreader with extensive experience in linguistics and writing. I've helped a lot of clients polish and refine their manuscripts (fiction and non-fiction), business documents, books, novels, novellas, ebooks, short stories, blog posts, articles, presentations, etc. Besides ensuring a document is error free, I pay attention to clarity and coherence, i.e. transitions between ideas. I also do some moderate editing, where necessary (you wouldn't want someone butchering your text, would you?). To ensure privacy, I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects but I may keep a copy of your document on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. The finished product will include two copies of the edited text—one that shows the changes (a copy with MS Word Track Changes on), and one that incorporates all of the changes made. PS. I also hold a BA in English Language and Literature and currently teach IELTS (writing) in Cairo.

Hi! I'd love to find out more about the novel. 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. Holding a PhD in English, I know that I can help you to create a dynamic text.

Hi, I am a PROFESSIONAL PROOFREADER and EDITOR. I will work with to make sure your novel’s punctuation is perfect and that the flow is excellent. You didn’t ask for this but I will also advise you on other writing tips IF YOU WANT that, such as pace, tempo, consistent vocabulary usage level, character flaws/traits, and the most difficult thing to get right for new writers ― dialogue flow, intensity, originality, and “naturalness” of interaction between speakers. You see, it’s what I teach. However, your writing and writing style may be perfect. If so, we can just concentrate on proofreading. My fee will be US$350/491AUD. *SKILLS:* I am an American (born, raised, and educated) professional WRITER, EDITOR, PROOFREADER, CONTENT WRITER, COPYWRITER and REWRITER. I can easily write about many topics, including Law, Education, Technology, Crime, Lifestyles, Feature Stories, Business and Entertainment. Scores of my articles have been published so I regularly meet rigorous publication standards when I write. I write 100% ORIGINAL CONTENT that is WELL- RESEARCHED and is free of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors. At Freelancer, I have a 5-Star rating; a 100% Bid Score; a 100 Completion Rate, and I deliver on T.I.M.E. I can start work NOW.

Being a professional PhD level academic writer, editor and proofreader, I'd be the best fit for the said task "I have written a novel that I’d like edited and proofread... " 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). 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. You can fully count on me and I am looking forward to working with you. Thanks

The author of six published novels and a short story collection (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 - from first-time authors and the self-published to the far more established - writing in all kinds of different genres: literary, sci-fi, fantasy, historical, romance, crime/thriller, YA etc. Familiar with all publishing industry standards, I will edit your manuscript in three stages. Firstly, a basic edit to eliminate any typos, grammatical lapses etc. Secondly, a more creative edit focusing on sentence structure, word choice/flow etc. And thirdly, a final edit to ensure that your work has that essential professional polish. Additional info: I use Track Changes in Word and can make a start right away.
