Yes, my bid is higher than some, but if you send me a chapter of your book to edit for FREE, I think you will see why you should hire me. You will get tremendous value for your money. My method, developed over 38 years as an award-winning journalist and wordsmith, is to edit a book three times: First, to correct all errors and smooth out the rough edges; second, to add creative touches and suggest meaningful changes; third, to make sure in a final polish that the text flows flawlessly and connects most effectively with readers. All this takes extra time and extreme, compassionate focus. Among the books I've edited are a children's story, a self-help book, an entrepreneurial guide, two spirituality journals, thrillers set in Africa and the Mideast, and a young adult romance novel. Talk to you soon!
