Children's book editing - experienced writers only

Hello, my name is San (short for Sally-Anne). I would enjoy helping you with your children’s book. Why choose me? Well, I‘m a trained professional editor. As part of a broader journalistic career I have commissioned books, worked with authors to develop books and edited books under contract. In all, more than 50 books, several of them for children (under 10 years of age). As editor of Choice magazine (Australia's consumer product rating magazine) I introduced a children’s page into the publication. I read to my children regularly when they were young and still read to the young ones in the family. And with more than 20 years working in publishing I have the editorial skills you’re after and a fair bit of printing knowledge, too. I also have experience mentoring writers and editors. My background is working fulltime for national newspaper, magazine and book publishers in Australia and for two large Australian government departments (primary industries and tax). I have also worked freelance for large corporations, small businesses, authors, students and academics. My first job on this site, finished a couple of days ago, was a children’s book. I am new to Freelancer.com and my bid reflects this, as well as the fact that I love children’s stuff (so I am keen to get a few runs on the board and money isn’t as important as enjoying what I do). Thank you for reading my bid. Please contact me if there is anything else I can tell you to support it.

Hi!! I would love to help you with this proofreading assignment. Will provide you with grammatically-correct, syntax-error-free and easy-to-flow English text of your nursery story - The Three Little Pigs. Will do proofread, editing and rewriting for text where needed. Looking forward to hear from you with exact details. Warm Regards, Mahahind Charan.

Hello, I'd be happy to help. I can provide you editorial assistance in five weekdays, beginning Monday next week. I'm an experienced, professionally trained, full-time freelance editor. I've edited, proofread, and formatted written documents, such as books, e-books, journal articles, magazine articles, manuals, PowerPoint slides, web content, as well as university-approved master's and doctoral dissertations varying in length and subject matter while adhering to the required style guide. I provide the necessary recommendations and amendments using the MS Word comment tool and track changes feature, or apply standard proofreading marks when working on files in PDF format. I hope to know more about your project. If you’d have questions or concerns regarding my proposal, just send me an e-mail and I’ll respond shortly. Thank you for taking the time to review my proposal and profile. For now I wish you a blessed day ahead. Sincerely, Al

I am an Australian English teacher, employed in teaching English as a Second Language to Primary School students in Australia. I have 11 years' experience teaching school-aged children, and am extremely familiar with children's nursery rhymes and styles of children's literature. As a native speaker of Australian English, I am highly skilled in all areas of spelling, grammar and vocabulary, and will be able to assist you in ensuring the fluidity of your work and the language level appropriateness for the age group to which it is aimed. You will notice I have both written and edited children's stories, including nursery rhymes, via this site, and my reputation is excellent. I will use the 'track changes' feature in Microsoft Word for all changes made, and you can expect the editing to be complete within 3 days.

I try to ensure that my passion for writing comes through in what I write and I am dedicated to being the best writer I can be. I'm always looking to expand my horizons by learning new writing styles and genres and taking on new challenges. If I don't know how to do it, I'll learn!

I have over twelve years experience in editing and during this time, I have edited thousands of books, websites, academic/thesis papers, essays, scripts, etc. I also specialize in editing writings from non-native speakers. I am willing to do a sample for free, however, you would have to message me the file since Freelancer no longer allows us to submit files with our proposal. Please see my reviews and exam scores. My price is negotiable. Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope I can work with you!

Hi, How many words is your book? An accurate bid will depend on more details. I'm a university-educated native English speaker with a good eye for detail. I've recently edited a few books on this site and off. I also have lots of other experience outside of this site - writing, editing, teaching creative writing, and doing manuscript consultations. Please see my reviews and portfolio on this site. I can offer some basic info on publishing - but I'm not an expert in that area. Thank you.

Hey, I'd like to apply for this job. I read the job description and I must say I'm very excited to help you with this project.

Hello! I would love to help with this project, and I think we would make a great match. Not only do I have over ten years' experience as a freelance writer/editor, but I was also Head of Children's Services at a public library in the U.S. for almost a decade. During my time in that position, I acquired an extensive knowledge of children's literature, as I've read literally thousands of storybooks. My clients receive both a keen eye for detail as a proofreader as well as a helping hand with writing style/editing. Additionally, as I have conducted hundreds of story times for children during my time at the library, I'm also very familiar with the elements that are essential to a book with true kid appeal. I'm looking forward to sharing my expertise with you on this project. Thanks for considering my proposal, Fonda

Oh, I would love this project. I published a children's book 8 years ago called "Sonya and the Sauce Monster". I've been writing and editing for over 20 years. I really hope to hear from you.
