I'm looking for a full fledged edit for my book. It is approximately 97,000 words. The book is loosely based on a woman who lived in Afghanistan who fought for equal rights for Women. I have continued her legacy by writing a book that promotes egalitarianism, and fights against subservient mindset that currently exists in many Middle Eastern countries. My main character leads in this mission by forming an all Woman's Afghan Army. The book is called Shedding the Burka. If this story line is one that doesn't sound appealing to you, or might offend you, please don't apply. I'm looking for someone who is great at assessing strengths and weaknesses of story lines, and someone who will be able to identify areas of the book that need to be revised, improved moved around, reworded, moved around etc. All grammatical edits are necessary as well. The qualities that I am seeking are: -Identifying and solving problems of overall clarity or accuracy -Reorganizing paragraphs, sections, or chapters to improve the order in which the text is presented -Writing or rewriting segments of text to improve readability and flow of information -Revising any or all aspects of the text to improve its presentation -Correcting spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, and word usage while preserving the meaning and voice of the original text -Checking for or imposing a consistent style and format -Reading for overall clarity and sense on behalf of the prospective audience -Checking proof against typesetting specifications Querying or correcting errors or inconsistencies Reading for typographical errors or for sense In addition, I would really like your opinion of the book. I would like suggestions on how I can make it better. If anything is unclear or you have questions, I want them asked. In addition to editing and proofreading, I want a thorough Critique. I want to make this book the best it can possibly be. What parts are really exciting and keep your attention, and are there any parts that bore you or need more work? Thanks in advance. I'm on a budget, so the amount of your bid is definitely a factor! I will have you sign my own Non Disclosure and IP Agreement before proceeding with the project. Thank you

Hello and congratulations for finishing your manuscript! I am a fiction editor with experience working in novel-length projects. I am also well versed in feminist and world literature — so working on your project sounds intriguing! In addition to simple grammatical edits, I enjoy providing higher-level feedback as well. This often takes the form of critiquing story arcs, character development and consistency, as well as working with sequencing and the overall flow of the novel. A substantive edit of this length takes time; I would be able to have a comprehensive edit and copy to you within 7 days of agreeing to a deadline. I would be happy to work with you in developing your characters, your plot, and your voice in telling this story, Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have and congratulations once again on this noteworthy achievement! Sincerely, Melinda

Hello, and congrats on finishing your novel! It sounds AMAZING. My name is Jackie, and I would absolutely love to edit it for you. The editing needs you have -- including feedback on the story, rewriting for readability, and correcting inconsistencies -- well, this is what I do best! I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills. I also have a keen eye and ear for characterization, voice, flow, sentence structure, story arc, and plot. My passion is well-polished, great writing -- I've edited more than twenty-five novels, screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. I am currently a writer and associate editor with a publication in my city, and I have worked in the past as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. On average, I edit 2,300 words of text in one hour. I typically charge between $.01 and .025/word, and have quoted you at my lowest rate since you said you're on a budget. I can safely promise you that in editing, you get what you pay for. Someone who takes on a 97k-word novel with this level of editing requirement, and only charges you $250, is not going to provide you quality work. Just saying! :) I'd be more than happy to edit a writing sample free of charge in order for you to determine whether I am a fit for your needs. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, What are you searching for when you need somebody to edit or proofread your work? Affirmation. That is the thing that I give to my customers; an accomplished and gifted proficient essayist with faultless language structure expertise, solid visual mindfulness, and an emphasis on spelling flawlessness. Rest guaranteed that when I alter, edit, and investigate a record of any size it will be returned in free of blunders. You require a "linguistic fussbudget, for example, me in the event that you need confirmation. I will break down, alter, overhaul, and revamp as fundamental so you will be left with a predominant completed item. I alter, edit, and revamp the majority of my content physically without the utilization of internet modifying programs. At the point when quality checks, reach me. Best respects

To Whom It May Concern: I am a professional line editor, copy editor, and proofreader with over seven years of experience working with non-fiction and fiction manuscripts. I have worked on ‘controversial’ manuscripts in the past, both non-fiction and fiction, so I am rarely offended by the contents of a book. I highly doubt I’ll be offended by the contents in this manuscript. I’m willing to sample edit up to 3,000 words of your manuscript to give you a better idea of my skills, and I'm willing to sign an NDA before seeing any part of it. I edit using the Chicago Manual of Style, Seventeenth Edition, which is the one currently being used by major publishers and review publications for non-fiction and fiction in the United States. You’re looking for a mix of content editing, copy editing, and proofreading. Therefore, I’d suggest there be three rounds of editing to correspond with the three forms. I’d charge $0.015 per word for the full project. To make things easy, I’d suggest breaking it down into three milestones of equal amounts, so $485 for each step. Each step can be completed within five days of contract acceptance and receiving the manuscript. I’ve allotted for three days between each milestone for review. If you require more time, I’ll be more than willing to accommodate. Thank you for your time and consideration! Sincerely, Nadene Seiters

Hi, I can do all of your editing (you're asking a lot for one round of editing) - assuming that you're a reasonably good writer. What's your writing background? How many revisions have you done yourself? But, you should get your formatting done after your final rewrite. ("check proof against typesetting specifications"?) I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. I would use track changes & offer comments. Please see the reviews and portfolio on my profile page. I can send you a list of recently-edited projects and/or direct you to some of my work online if you like. Thank you. BTW - everyone's on a budget. Two cents /word is on the low end of reasonable for professional editing. My suggestion would be you go through it yourself another time and tighten it - reducing the word count.

Hi Your book sounds amazing. We're a husband and wife team - I'm Jo and I do most of the editing side of our work. My background is in editing print publishing. I was the Deputy Editor of Geographical Magazine in London, UK, which is the official publication of The Royal Geographical Society. Since I had kids I've been working freelance. If we're to do a proper job that's fitting of the effort and time you've spent writing, then realistically it'll take some time to do. These things are usually a to-and-fro affair. I tend to start with a read of the manuscript and then offer a critique, before beginning the process of editing. Communication throughout the whole process is key, hence I've set a reasonable time-frame on my bid. The subject matter of your book sounds very interesting. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you require anything further. Regards, Jo

Hi. Instead of being offended, I am proud of you for writing something like this. Yes, I know, I´m a man, so why should I want to see women freed from their tradtional role as slaves? A guy named Solomon Burke wrote a song called "None of Us Are Free", which says "if one of us is in chains, then none of us are free", and that is also my opinion. If any human is enslaved by another, I am also enslaved. So my point is, I´d like to work with you on this book. I can analyze and critique your book, then do the corrections and adjustments to make it easier to read and clear for all English-language readers. These can be 2 stages, if you wish - a beta read, then an edit to polish the text. About me: although I live in Brazil now, I´m an American writer, editor and proofreader, a native English speaker with excellent language skills and years of experience at correcting and improving books. This year alone, I have helped the authors of 2 supernatural thrillers, a collection of romantic short stories, 2 non-fiction self-help books, a musician´s biography, and a story about a Chinese monk´s search for enlightenment. I can use Word´s Track Changes to show you all my corrections, comments and suggestions in your manuscript, and make a special effort to preserve your own personal style throughout. I know that my bid is higher than most, even after I´ve already cut it in half, but let´s talk about how to adapt to your budget. I really would like to work on this with you. Best, David

Hello there, I have gone through your brief and would love to apply for the job and be of service to you. I'm a proofreader, editor, and an article rewriter. Be assured, quality work would be delivered back to you with an opportunity to ask for a re-edit as many times as you want. I believe in excellence and do thrive within that sphere. Perhaps you could send me a short sample via chat. I'll work on it, and send the edited copy back to you, then you can let me know what you think. How about that? I could also send you an article I edited via chat if you want me to, so you can assess my capability. My Qualifications, Experience, and Personality: As a proofreader and editor, I use my excellent grammar skills to polish articles, manuscripts, books, etcetera. I spot errors such as omissions and typos easily. I've worked on eBooks, ELA multi-choice questions, articles, and novels. I always strive to ensure my clients’ satisfaction is a priority; thus, it's always guaranteed. I'm fluent in both written and spoken English. I do execute jobs promptly and efficiently. After working with me, you'll probably want to work with me again; I do not get annoyed easily, rather, I'm patient, enthusiastic, creative, innovative, understanding, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. After all that has been said, most importantly, I would really love to work and have a good working relationship with you in the long run. Regards, Kayode.

If you're reading this, I believe a need for quality creative content is what's led you here. And frankly, I'm certain I can match and possibly surpass your expectations. I've got years of experience in writing, both creative and scholarly, and I've built a solid relationship with my clients, one which demands that I consistently meet their expectations, beating off competition from other equally talented writers. It is only natural that you have some level of doubt, and as a first time client, I would be willing to provide a refund if you are dissatisfied with the work I produce for you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or inquiries that you may have. I'll be looking forward to positive feedback. Cheers!
