Editor Needed For Non-fiction Book I'm looking for someone with good English & literary skills to do the content and copy edit for my book. The book has already been through a couple self editing phases but this is the final edit before the the book will be published on Amazon in a few weeks. The book is a non-fiction book that talks about true Christian faith experiences about a family. As far as the editing goes, I’m on a pretty short deadline so I need someone who can work quickly and focus attention on this project over the next 2 weeks. I need the content and copy edits completed by 8/18/2017. The book is 19,253 words 6 chapters, & 44 pages. I'm looking for someone with editing experience and with interest in this type of book. I'm working on this book with proven best sellers so this will be great exposure for you and your work. If you're interested in the project, submit a proposal with why you're interested & your price. Also, please include the phrase "purple cow" at the top of your bid. If you have any questions, just let me know!

purple cow Hi, I'm Rohan and I'm ideally suited to copyedit your book on christian faith and experiences. 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. My services include: I make sure that there are no grammatical or spelling errors. I work on the sentence structure and word usage. Make sure there is language consistence. Rewrite clunky or poorly phrased sentences. As per industry standards I use 'TrackChanges' in MSWord so you have the option to verify all the changes made. I also offer a running commentary in separate comment bubbles, explaining the 'heavier' edits. (OPTIONAL) And anything else that may come up. I look forward to hearing from you.

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
