Hello freelancers, as co-authors Nick and I are looking for an editor to work on book 2 of The Nilimbia Chronicles. We had a good time working with an editor found on Freelancer for the first one but unfortunately she is no longer available so we are back out there looking again. Please let us know what experience you have and tell us a bit about your style of editing, what projects you have liked working on in the past etc. If you have a link to reviews please share. Nick is pretty good with technical editing like grammar and punctuation and sorts out most of my tortured sentences so what we need is... Line editing not so much Technical (grammar/punctuation) rather sentence structure, plot, the pace, Stylistic Elements, Concept, age market (MG audience), intended word use, and tone. I have attached the synopsis and first chapter plus a photo of the first book cover. https://www.amazon.com/Mias-Optiscope-Childrens-Adventure-Nilimbian-ebook/dp/B00X6QEJB6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464836797&sr=8-1&keywords=mias+optiscope I look forward to finding our next editor, thank you. Natalie

You're good writers. But imagine you have the additional power to step it up a notch. That's where I come in. As an authentic wordsmith with exceptional editing skills, I will go the extra mile to make your second novel really strong. My 37 years as a newspaper copy editor honed my ability not only to find errors, but to choose the best words, imagery, and imaginative phrasing. This year I have completed editing five books -- a children's story, a self-help book, an illustrated handbook aimed at the entrepreneurial crowd, a personal journal about spirituality, and, most recently, a thriller set in Africa. On the writing side, I interviewed jazz luminaries Dave Brubeck, Bob James, Maynard Ferguson, and singer Diane Schuur for stories. I have a gift for making dialogue resonate with readers, and my keen eye for accurate characterization in fiction is highly developed. I would love to help you with your project. Talk to you soon!

Hello My name is Nancy Mangan. I have just finished reading the sample of your first Mia’s Optiscope book on Amazon Kindle. I feel this would be a lovely project to work on and I would really love the opportunity to do so. I usually work on academic projects but I enjoy editing fiction work; there’s always scope for a bit of flexibility and the boundaries are always a little more elastic so to speak, which I quite enjoy. Writing is not always about the correct sentence structure which it often is in academic work. While you do say in the additional description that this project is approximately 40, 000 words, you don’t give a time frame. I assume you would like the first lot of editing done as soon as possible. I usually edit using the Track Changes facility on Word. I can also work on hardcopy although that appears to be a dying art these days; most editing seems to be done on screen. I would be available to start a project like this within the next week or so. So, if you are interested, I would love to discuss this further with you. Best wishes Nancy

As a line editor, I've excelled at exactly what you say you need. I believe as part of the writing team it is essential that I keep the elements of the series or story in mind to ensure consistency and correct choreography/chronology. I approach my work as a first-time reader of a story; this allows me to comment on plot issues and plausibility issues as well. I'm known for fast, very detailed line editing. There is no attachment button on this bid form. I will attempt another way to send you a file of actual feedback on my work by editors and authors with whom I've worked.

Dear Natalie and Nick: Thank you for considering my application to work with you on the latest book in The Nilimbia Chronicles series. As a fellow writer who is currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; who has edited two books, including The Banana Tree Crisis by Isankya Kodithuwakku, which won Sri Lanka's State Literary and Gratiaen prizes; and who reads submissions for Ninth Letter, a literary magazine for which I will serve as assistant poetry editor in Spring 2017, I believe I am especially well equipped to help make your project successful. Moreover, having read your synopsis and first chapter, I am certain that we share a passion for the fantasy genre. I love fairy and folk tales—from King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table to Chinese fables—and grew up reading multiple versions of One Thousand and One Nights. Furthermore, as an MFA student, college rhetoric instructor, and proofreader for the National Council of Teachers of English, I have a keen eye for stylistic elements, tone, and audience. In short, I cannot imagine a better match than working with the two of you. Since my university is on break, my schedule is flexible. Although I imagine that this process would take approximately two weeks, my goal would be to work within the time line that you have in mind. Thank you again. Please feel free to contact me through this site to discuss how I can best serve you. Best regards, Annah
