Hi there Author, I'm interested in editing your novel! I'm a digital marketer turned author and editor with over 10 years of experience, so I am intimately familiar with what it takes to captivate readers. I teach courses to budding writers and entrepreneurs on the topic of strong proofreading and compelling storytelling. I routinely host seminars for large, corporate marketing departments on strategies for improving communication through text. I specialize in editing works of fiction and, having worked with many authors in this field, know what good publishers (and Kindle Direct Publishing) expect in a final manuscript. When working with me, you can expect a full scope edit of your document. That means I will first copy edit (fixing sentence structure and vocabulary), and then proofread (checking for final errors) the full text. I do two readings of every project, both on screen and on paper. This approach ensures that the resulting document and recommendations are meticulously considered and accurate. I'm looking forward to diving into this project. Connect with me here on UpWork to order a free sample page. Wishing you the best of luck with your book! -Olivia Derby [login to view URL]

I am a highly experienced proofreader and copy editor and you can be fully assured of my technical ability and credentials. I have taken a look at your sample edit and am ready to provide you with an edit copy for your approval. Please message me if you want to take a look at it to get a better feel of my experience. I have many years of experience, and over the years, I have edited several eBooks, manuscripts, magazines, journal publications, website content, articles, and brochures. I can also send you samples of previous work that I have done using track changes, so that you may get an idea of my quality of work. I am happy to simply proofread (catch errors), but I also enjoy in-depth editing, which involves improving readability, offering suggestions and restructuring when necessary. If your project needs careful fact-checking and an eagle eye for eliminating typos and correcting spelling and grammatical errors, I would be happy to help. Look forward to hearing from you.

I have a first class Bachelors degree in English Language and TESOL. I have the relevant skills and experience in proof reading, editing and writing from doing my course. As I am qualified in teaching English to speakers of other languages I have had to go back to basics and learn English grammar properly which will make it easy for me to edit the grammar of the book together with the spelling. I have also done courses in creative writing which I thoroughly enjoyed. This will allow me to enhance the overall story.

Hello Brother, "I have edited your sample" It seems you are looking for a person to edit a book. Then I am the one best fit for it, Just before greeting about me, I introduce my self. I am an in=intermediate in blogging and content writing. I have completed 30 Articles in this month. That is the reason why I bid late. Usually, I request a payment $1/ 100 words. But I saw your attached file it seems you are new to this writing work so I request $1/450 words. My typing speed is 80 wpm with 100% accuracy So I can finish the work within the deadline minimum of 15 days. Perks of working with me, 1. I am fluent in English as I did my studies in convent schools and colleges. 2. As a CA I have attended many meetings as a speaker so I know more vocabulary 3. As we both are Indian we can make payment and communications directly, this may reduce your cost as the commission of the freelancer website is discharged. Remember even Modi can become PM only if he gets chance. As like that just give me a chance I will do you favor. I have edited your sample you attached with your description. If you need I can send them to you. I hope you will contact me through the message. DEEDS NOT WORDS
