I have carefully read your project description and I strongly believe that I can help you in this important editing/proofreading project. I have participated in a great number of creative writing, rewriting, proofreading, editing and copy-editing tasks for years. However, I'm positive that this job requires a lot of attention on the editor's part, as copy editors should have broad experience in linguistics so that they can suggest better alternatives. I'm not only a copy editor but a former EFL teacher, as well – a fact that enables me to use the English language effectively and accurately. I fully understand that you need an expert in editing and proofreading. I'm also aware of the fact that clients not only need someone to detect errors, but they also look for a professional writer who can recast improperly written sentences. It'd be a pleasure to help you get this project perfectly done within deadline. Kindly, check my portfolio for more credentials and authentic samples showing my style in editing. I never discuss or distribute the contents of your documents, but I normally keep copies of your documents on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. Confidentiality assured!

The comments were so helpful and I feel will really enhance my story. I will definitely hire again, thank you!!” “Klboots did an excellent job proofreading and editing my novel! She paid attention to detail and greatly improved my book's structure! I plan on re-hiring her very soon! Thanks again!!!” “Quick turnaround; very thorough review; her comments were helpful and thoughtful and made my document a better story. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!” “Amazing proof-reader! I have been hiring her for a while and I would not hire anyone else!”

You can visit the website and see samples of different categories of books I've edited. If I take up the job, it is my commitment to deliver the work on time.

Howdy! I am the lead editor for Montag Press Collective. I have edited over twelve full-length novels, specializing in historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. I have a strong stomach for controversial content, yet also a taste for the finer points of literature. I am currently between projects and looking to try something different. One unique thing about the way I work is that I have a computer program that reads aloud to me. Listening to the text while I work allows me to catch many things that other editors might miss. I can easily catch and correct words that look alike, but have one letter difference. I’ll also put the ç in your façade and the é in your fiancé/fiancée. Please let me know if you have any questions for me! Due to ongoing (flexible) commitments with Montag Press, I will be logging in to check messages once a day and I will get back to you if I’m not currently online. Mara Hodges, Books Worth Burning
