Non Fiction Book editing

Greetings! I have been a professional freelance writer, editor and proofreader for more than 20 years. Biographies and autobiographies are one of my favorite genres. I am a Native English speaker/writer and will polish up your manuscript so it sparkles! You'll find that I'm a stickler for proper grammar, punctuation, spelling and easy to read writing that flows and keeps the reader entranced. If you'd like to send me up to 5 pages to edit on spec, I will be happy to do that. I wish you all the best with this project and thank you sincerely for your time and consideration. Best wishes, Cheryl E. Booth

Hi! I would be interested in working with you. I have worked as a copyeditor and proofreader for the past 13 years in an academic setting and also as a freelancer. I have experience copyediting both popular works and scholarly works in various fields. Please see PM for more information on my background and further details of my bid.

I'm an experienced proofreader with strong skills in English. I have my PhD in education. I could complete this project quickly and accurately.

In order to make your project a success, you need someone who has ample knowledge and a keen eye for detail, both of which I have. At this time, I would like to ask that you please refer to my private message for further details. Thank you.

Hi I'd love to edit your book. I have extensive experience writing and editing in a range of formats, on different topics and for different audiences. I have ghostwritten and edited a number of books and eBooks including, recently, an autobiography for another client. I currently work for a major publishing house. I have a profound grasp on the English language including spelling and the rules of grammar. I am extremely pedantic about spelling and grammar and pay close attention to details at all times. This means that your book will be free from all and any errors. My experience in editing means that I will also be able to make suggestions and improvements to structure, flow, plot and character development - if you want/need it. I'll be able to help make your book engaging, enjoyable and readable. I have a double degree in Law and Public Communication and in addition to freelance writing and editing I have also had experience in advertising, marketing and public relations. If you have any questions or need anything further please do not hesitate to contact me. I am willing to negotiate a price and deadline. I hope to hear from you. Kind regards Ashleigh

Hi there I'm a first-rate editor, with years of experience of autobiographies and memoirs. My English is exceptional, and my service impeccable. I deliver quality work, on time, and I guarantee you'll be pleased with the result. Best wishes Lori Heaford BA MA SfEP

Editor and writer for publishing houses

I am able to provide past work and references, if you'd like. When I edit, I not only proofread the book, but I also provide the author with content notes that discuss suggested changes in regard to characters, plot, themes, story lines, and such. I hold two master's degrees and am an experienced editor. I have written three peer reviewed books, the latest to be published in June, and many other publications, all of which I proofread extensively before sending for publication. I have been an indexer for the journal "Provenance: The Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists" since 2003. I have also provided the professional level indexing for all of my books. From 2002-2007 I owned and operated Cantadora Press and did all the editing and proofreading for all the books, pamphlets, and journal issues we published. From 2008-2010, I taught college-level American history courses and spent a lot of my time teaching my students how to write properly, including: grammar, punctuation, spelling, style, and diction. Their semester-long projects entailed many drafts of paragraphs and larger sections before final submittal. Now that I own an editing business and have worked with freelancing sites like oDesk, Elance, Freelancer, and Guru, I have edited multiple books, articles, and Web sites for content. I have always delivered excellent quality editing for a great price. I deliver my product in the time limit specified in the contract. In the past few months I have edited two vampire romance novels, a werewolf romance novel with accompanying short stories, a western series of 4 books based in Wyoming that has a Kung Fu twist, a contemporary book about President Obama's public speaking secrets, an action thriller about a presidential election, a futuristic sci-fi thriller, an exercise manual, a technical manual for doing computer forensics, two family counseling case studies books, an eBook on how to do SEO, a master's thesis on the smartphone industry, a Medieval history textbook, a church history book, a western novel, a forex trading ebook, two ebooks about dealing with creditors and credit bureaus (from different authors), a medical treatise, a heart-wrenching autobiography, a conference report on international relations, an ebook on the credit bureaus and how to conquer them, and a short crime fiction ebook. I have great skills and no one can edit for grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, or style like I can. I have also edited technical ebooks on the future of cell phones and on the tablet industry. I have also edited websites and smaller jobs like sales letters, cover letters, and brochures. I am a native US English speaker. I feel that my twenty plus years of experience editing and proofreading my own projects and those of others make me an ideal candidate for your freelance editor position. You will find others with perhaps lower bids for this project. Many of those will be either non-native English speakers or editors with little education and experience in editing. I am a native speaker (US) and I have the education and experience you want in order to deliver you the best possible editing job. I hope you will consider me for this position and hire me. I can get started right away and my dependability means we can work together for a long time.

I was born, raised and educated in Chicago (Univ. of IL). I majored in Computer Science; my minor was English. Working from home as a freelance copy-editor/proofreader, I have been providing editorial services for more than 10 years. I would love to work with you.

I am a native English (American) speaker who has been editing and proofreading for more than 25 years. I have a BA in English and have run a successful part-time freelance editing business since I was in college. I've worked for major publishers as well as new writers on both non-fiction and fiction projects, and I feel confident that I can assist you with your book. Please see my private message for more details and information about my skills and experience.

I can definitely help you! I'm William K Ferro, a pro writer/editor specializing in substantive editing, web content writing, and ghostwriting. I'm a new provider here at Freelancer.com, but I'm not new to freelancing! My last ghostwriting assignment was to write someone's autobiography--a real challenge. It turned out very well, though, and the client loved it. Moving from that to editing a manuscript will no doubt be a little easier: I won't have to be "inside your head" to pull it off! I've ghostwritten five books, and edit other authors' manuscripts on a regular basis. My editing has a proven track record of raising author profiles and driving sales of their books. I've helped more than one new author get their work in print and sold! I'm a regular contributor to a popular blog, and a contributing editor/ghostwriter for a nonprofit organization. My writing samples are available here in my portfolio. Here's a quote from a client review: "What a pleasure to work with a professional who is not only enormously talented, but who has a real passion for his craft! Helpful in every way...highly recommended." - D.B. I look forward to working with you! Best regards, William K Ferro Premium Prose

Hello, As a young and driven editor establishing my name in the business, I do everything to assure a perfect end product. I was gifted with an incredibly keen eye, a natural sense of grammar, and a penchant for flow, structure, and eloquence. To these I have added schooling and millions of hours of personal study. The main ingredient in my experience, however, is communication. The story needs to be a perfect version of your original idea, not the editor's vision. I communicate with my authors on a very consistent and thorough basis and usually start with minimalist editing (predominantly proofing) with some minor adjustment ideas, then we gauge your thoughts and I tweak from there. I like to edit between one and four chapters a day, sending them back with my proposed corrections/suggestions so you can look them over and we can discuss them, then reediting after you accept/decline/change the chapter and send it back to me. Thus, I go through the book at least a few times, plus a read-through or two at the very end to make sure nothing was missed and that it really is exactly what you want and meets both of our standards. Thank you, Jason

hire me!!..i can provide you 100% accuracy..Regards..Raj..!
