Hi, I can do a really great job with editing your novel. I currently run my own editing business in the UK where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. You've only made me a little interested by mentioning drugs and sex, not put me off! The more interesting the better. I've recently finished editing an 80,000 word novel and the writer was so pleased with the result she gave me a bonus. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA, MA, CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service in the UK for several years I have put in a very low bid because I'm new to Freelancer, although I've been doing this kind of work for years. There will be lower bids, but I really suggest you check credentials before choosing and select a UK or US native speaker. In any case, I'd be happy to work with you to get the work done by your deadline or sooner. I will: - Check your articles for spelling, punctuation and grammar errors - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

Hi, I am a professional freelance proofreader looking to establish myself on this site. Editing is my passion and nothing is more rewarding to me than working closely with a fellow author to ready their manuscript for publication. I am thorough, meticulous and honest with a keen eye for detail. My speciality is polishing up creative writing, amending issues with grammar/ plotting/ flow and making helpful suggestions whilst still ensuring the author's voice is most prominent. I would love to work with you on your novel and eagerly await your response. You're welcome to send me a private message if you have any inquiries about my services. Thank you kindly, Alanna Gardner Please note that I am willing to lower my cost beyond that of your lowest bidder as I am keen to start building my reputation.

Good evening I would like to express my interest in editing this book on your behalf. I am a UK based healthcare academic (BA, MSc, PhD) with 10 years experience of proof reading, developing and editing a range of non-fiction texts for publication. I also edit a range of commercial publications, particularly for clients who are translating texts from other languages into English, or writing in English as a second language (EAL / ESL). I would also like to invite you to view the remainder of my portfolio, where examples of my published academic work, and a wide variety of further editing and writing assignments, highlight both my versatility and commitment to high standards. I also hope that my 5* feedback and 100% recommendation rating from previous clients is testimony to the time and endeavour I spend getting it right for my clients first time around. Thank you for taking the time to consider my proposal and I hope to hear from you soon. In the meantime, I would be delighted to answer any further questions that you may have regarding my own service. Many Thanks Adam Gowland

I have over seven years of experience in the professional publishing field, including Houghton Mifflin School Publishers and Harcourt Publishers. I have successfully launched a freelance writing career three years ago. I am a native English speaker, with fluency in both American and UK grammar styles and spellings. I've written for the web, print publications, and various marketing materials, and I'm SEO proficient. My writing, editing, and proofreading skills are meticulous. I'll approach the book by reading it through first in order to get a feel for the voice and subject. On my second pass, I'll start correcting the grammar, spelling, and syntax issues. I'll also make third pass to make sure everything is correct.

I will make Freelancer my main source of income. I am not here to mess around. I know that I can edit, and correct any grammatical errors in your book within a timeframe of three days. Punctuation will be key to this, and re-wording, or re-phrasing will only be done should I deem necessary. The topics of drugs & sex are not squeamish to me at all. I'm even happy to communicate with you once I have completed the job if you have questions / concerns about any of the editing work done. I will use Microsoft Word, and make comment on particular sentences for you to read should I deem it appropriate to explain my changes. Looking forward to working alongside you.
