Hi, An experienced and skilled writer with impeccable grammar skill, strong visual awareness, and insists on spelling perfection, you can rest assured that anytime I edit, proofread, and analyze a document of any size it will be returned in tip-top shape and free from errors. Grammatical perfection is a necessity in a finished document, and I will analyze, modify, revise, and reword as necessary so you will be left with a superior finished product. I also do all my editing, proofing, and rewriting manually without the use of any online rewriting programs. When quality counts, contact me. Best regards, James Walpole

Yes, my bid is higher than some. But making the magic that sets your book apart doesn't come cheap! Send me a chapter to edit for FREE, and I think you'll see why it's worth paying a little more for my expertise. Nearly ALL of those who have received my FREE editing sample have hired me. As an award-winning wordsmith with 38 years of editing experience, I have sharpened to a high degree my ability to choose the most accurate, the most scintillating words to make anyone's writing stand out. In the past year I've edited eight books -- a children's story, a self-help book, an illustrated handbook aimed at the entrepreneurial crowd, two personal journals about spirituality, one thriller set in Africa and the UK and another set in the Mideast, and a young adult romance novel. I have a talent for making dialogue resonate with readers, and my keen eye for characterization in fiction is highly developed. I would love to help you with your project. Talk to you soon!

Hi, my name is Georgia and I'd love to assist with your project. As a bit of background about me, I'm a recent graduate of the University of Queensland, ranked in the top 30 universities worldwide, where I completed my Bachelor's degree in Law/Arts, with first class honours. Later this year, I'll be commencing Masters-level study at the London School of Economics in the field of law. I've previously worked as a research clerk/paralegal with an immigration law firm in Brisbane, as well as managing my own highly successful online retail business, instaLens. As such, I have spent the past six years writing, drafting and editing essays, proposals, research papers and legal documents in an academic and professional context, with meticulous attention to content, style, grammatical accuracy and flow. I've read over your project description and am very interested in assisting with editing your book. As I have previous experience with writing, drafting and editing a wide variety of works, including both fiction and non-fiction books, papers, articles, essays, and reports, as well as an extensive and sophisticated grasp of the English language, I think I would be a great candidate for the job. I am currently taking some time off work to travel, so have a very flexible schedule and workload at present and could complete this project quickly. Thanks for your consideration, and good luck!
