Hi, Thank you for the opportunity to bid on your project. I am an Australian writer and editor living in Adelaide. I have more than 15 years writing and editing experience, across all genres particularly as a journalist and newspaper subeditor, and as a senior writer and editor working on Australian Defence Force projects. I have been a freelancer for the last 2 years working on a huge range of projects. I have done a lot of this sort of work. I will check your work thoroughly for structure, spelling, grammar, sense, etc ... and correct any errors. I will also let you know if there are any other issues. I would be interested in seeing your work. Please feel free to message me to talk about your requirements and see my portfolio. This is a basic bid as there is no information about the size of your book. I work using the freelancer.com milestone payment system. This system protects both of us while we work together and allows mutual reviews to build reputations. Good luck with your project. Kind regards kym

I am an expert in analysing language and helping people to be more succinct. Many people will offer you many things on this site: all I offer is communication. I will communicate with you to ensure that, any changes made don't change your original message. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi-I'd love to take a look at the book! ! I've spent many years proofreading and editing articles and papers as I was a college professor. I think that given my experience in this area, I could certainly turn your project around quickly and efficiently. I believe the job of an editor is not only to correct grammar and sentence structure, but also to give the writer a fresh set of eyes with which to view the work and perhaps offer perspectives that the writer previously had not considered. A little on my background: I hold a PhD in English/Literature and so have completed a number of book length projects. I've also had articles published in academic journals. I spent eight years teaching college level writing and literature courses. Over the course of the past seven years, I have been working both in the business world in a management capacity and also as a consultant/freelancer. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, Please provide the word count for an accurate bid. Is this an illustrated book? Age group? What's it about? I have edited several children's books this past year - just finished one this morning. I am a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience outside of this site - writing, editing, publishing, teaching creative writing and doing manuscript consultations. Please see my reviews and portfolio on my profile page. Thank you.

Hi, I'm Rohan, and I'm ideally suited to line edit your children's manuscript. I'm an extremely skilled and proficient editor and proofreader with a bachelors degree in Literature. I’ve spent the past four years of my life working for various organizations, newspapers and journals in this capacity. Furthermore, I have worked as an Editor for several lifestyle magazines and Publishing Houses, and as such I'm a tried and experienced veteran of the editing industry. I also happen to be a "Preferred Freelancer" in this site with a great set of reviews and as such you can trust my services. I'm also willing to edit a short sample as a display of my skill before being hired. Thanks, Rohan. P.S. The bid value is a PLACEHOLDER, pending further discussion of the length of the project.

Hi, I'm South African editor currently based in Guatemala. I've been working in the publishing industry since 2001 and have edited countless children's books and school textbooks. Therefore, I won't only be checking spelling and grammar bit also that the language level is suited to the age group of your target market. Since I don't know how big the MS is, my bid amount is really just a placeholder. My rates are normally $2 per 500 words for this kind of job and once I know the word count of your book, I can adjust my bid accordingly. I'd love to work with you and am hoping to hear from you soon. Kind regards Linell

Greetings, I have several years of professional experience as a content writer. I have written on behalf of clients in industries ranging from: entrepreneurship, marketing, travel, IT, healthcare, biotechnology, retail, farming, nonprofits, and more. I have worked at content marketing firms and have a deep knowledge of writing to optimize SEO and connect with audiences. My ability to communicate has been the one common theme amongst a varied career that has moved through journalism, PR, property investment, and website copy. Despite being born with an artistic writing style, the many different corporate environments I have found myself in (including the management of a department) have shown me that managing a client and delivering on a brief on their terms is infinitely more rewarding than just churning out clever words. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you……. Regards Charlotte Dawe

Hello, sir, I have read your project. Give me a chance to work for you on these children book editings ! * I have a good hold over grammar. * I have a proper way of presenting and organizing the content. * I am new on freelancer and seriously want to prove me here! * I will do the work within the allotted time. * My rates are reasonable and lower than others. * As I am a new freelancer, a positive review and feedback is my principle priority as money is not important for me at this stage. * I like to write on different issues I do hope you will give me a chance to write these articles; I assure you won't regret it.
