Hello, I have written the first volume of a technical business eBook that I am trying to publish. I want to publish it volume by volume so this one will be first. I am a research scientist and engineer and write technical material well, but I believe I am missing some creative flair that will really make this book pop! It is currently just under 25 pages. I need an someone who can read these first 25 pages and suggest ways to make it sound more fun, readable and add some creative flair to my writing. I am not looking for an official book editor just someone with good writing skills and creative writing mindset that can give me suggestions. Please let me know what kind of experience you have and how much you would charge for this. Fluency in English is absolutely essential.

Hello This is an unusual and interesting project as what you seem to be asking for is known as a 'critique', basically a written opinion of the strengths and weaknesses of the content of the eBook, based on writing style, not content. I am well used to critiquing work as I do it for all academic projects that involve editing and proofreading. I m fairly new to Freelancer but work hard to maintain my 5* rating - I have over 200 projects in the writing/editing/proofreading field completed at a consistently high level. I am aware you are based in the US - I have many clients that side of the 'pond' and know well the difference between UK and US English, backed up by a 98% pass for level 3 US English. Hopefully that also lets you know I have an exceptionally strong grasp of the English language. I'd be delighted to read your first 25 pages to give you an unbiuased opinion and some style/content suggestions where felt necessary. Kind Regards David Dundas

Most of my past projects boast of a consistently good track record and, at the risk of sounding pompous, I would also like to add that I guarantee to offer you the best quality work at the best price. I am also extremely confident that you will certainly not be disappointed and the end result that you will get delivered will be of supremely high quality. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions. I look forward to working with you soon. Best regards, Hema

Hello, I believe that I would make a perfect candidate for your proposed assignment. I am a student at Michigan Technological University and am currently working to get my Secondary Education Certificate in Mathematics and Writing. So, typically I spend most of my time working with young adults on their individual tasks ranging from poetry to electrical circuit design. This has kept me sharp in many areas of writing and has allowed me to be versatile in many ways. I did very well in my technical writing class, an "A" I believe, but I tend to use creative writing skills the most. I understand that you have developed the technical side of your project and are looking for a creative edge to pull the reader into your text. I would love the opportunity to read what you have produced and provide feedback to help you improve it. Thanks for your consideration, Sydney Snyder
