Hi As I understand, you need an editor who has the ability to edit your children’s book. I'm interested in getting the job as I’m an experienced writer and editor. I’ve been working in writing and editing line for more than 20 years. I took graduation and master degree in Journalism and MPhil in English Studies. So I know it very well how to write, edit, rewrite and improve a write-up. At Freelancer, I’ve also completed several writing, rewriting, editing and proofreading projects. You can see samples of my writing and editing works in my portfolio. At present, I’m attached to FAZA Editing House. If I take up the job, it is my commitment to deliver the work on time. I hope you will find me suitable for your work. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks SM Saifuddin

Hello, I think that I would be suited to this position due to my past and current experience in Editing and proofreading. I have two styles of Editing. One where I directly Edit your document, and another where I take notes for you to work with. The latter means that the document remains completely your own. If the latter is chosen, I return my notes to you, you work with those notes and return the updated document to me, I take more notes, etc, etc, etc, until we are both happy that the document is to the desired standard. You can view an example of the second style of Editing within my Portfolio. My most recent Review is from a three page essay Edit that I did with standard (no notes) style in less than an hour. I have recently completed a thirty-seven page academic proposal Edit in one day. I am fast and efficient and prefer to work directly with my clients while both of us are online for efficiency, but am able to work alone if necessary. I hope that you will consider working with me. Thank you for considering my application.

Hi there. I see that you're looking for an experienced editor to edit and review your children's book. I can certainly do that for you. Not only do I have academic and professional experience in editing, but I too write fiction (for all ages) in my free time. I have received a lot of education in the field from past creative writing courses (some of which focused specifically on writing children's fiction) where I've earned high marks. I also occasionally engage in peer-reviews and know a great deal about children's literature. I take the craft of creative fiction very seriously and it would be a true pleasure to be able to help fellow writers. If this project is awarded to me, I will first run a spell check on your document and then proofread it myself to spot and correct errors in grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. I will also critique the content of your story (in terms of age appropriateness and general quality). As an extra, I can offer advice on getting your story published if you like. Feel free to contact me at any time if you would like to discuss further details. Thank you.

I have interest in children and children friendly work and would consider it an honour to be involved in this work. I am qualified to be engaged because a few years ago I was the leader in baseline research, curriculum development and development of resources for children friendly communities in a neighboring country. The work will involve reviewing and editing an already written book to ensure the content meets the writers objectives; that the is readable and understandable, among other things. I am always available on the internet for further discussion and consultation.

Hello! I'm an editor with six years' experience, and I would love to help you edit your book. I currently work as a developmental and line editor for YA and children's fiction. I also work for a literary agency (Harvey Klinger) as an editorial reader, so I have a great grasp of the market and what it takes to make kidlit really work. Whether you're querying an agent or self-publishing your novel, I have the industry knowledge and editing skills to make your manuscript stand out. As a line editor, I take on the spirit of your work and meticulously review the manuscript line by line to ensure every word and sentence is perfect. I correct not only grammar and punctuation, but flow, clarity, and word choice. Voice and tone is extremely important in children's literature, and I can help you refine your expression and augment your unique authorial voice. I combine this with big-picture concerns about plot, pacing, and character to create a cohesive and compelling final product. I'd love to hear more about the project; if you have any questions for me, don't hesitate to send me a message. I hope we can be in touch soon! Julie

Writing for children is not as easy as it seems, and I applaud you for taking on this competitive market. I understand how difficult it is to step back and critique your own work. It's almost as difficult as asking someone else to read it. I am a trained editor, a published writer and a practising teacher. During my university study I worked in a bookstore and grew a particular knowledge of children's books. Should you choose me, I will treat your writing and style with respect, but won't hesitate to correct issues and point out flaws.

I have a degree in technical writing and a master's degree in communication, which means I have years of intensive training in grammar, punctuation and sentence structure. I also have ten years experience in editing and writing documents in a variety of topics and lengths. As an avid reader of children's books, magazines and blogs, and as a new mother, this is a topic I am very passionate about. I am thrilled at the prospect of providing children with a great book to enjoy for years to come. Reading to my baby boy is one of my favorite things for us to do together. I look forward to working with you and building a long-term relationship! Success will happen with a lot of communication between us. I want to ensure that your voice is enhanced.
