Editing my first Book

Ranked the #1 business writer on www.Freelancer.com since 2010, I thank you for the opportunity to work on this important project. I have completed over 900 writing projects, including business and marketing plans, contracts and business agreements, academic papers, technical and business writing, and much more. Are you available for a discussion to ensure I understand this project. When is a good time?

Congratulations on completing your first work. You can have your chosen Freelancer sign a non-disclosure agreement. Some freelancers will be able to provide you with a copy of an NDA, or you can download it from Freelancer, which I think costs about USD10. I have been copy editing for more than 10 years, three of these on the Freelancer platform, where all my reviews are excellent. I have edited more than 50 books, both fiction and non-fiction. I would use the Track Changes tool for your manuscript, to show the changes that I make. I prefer projects that have a fixed fee rather than an hourly fee, as I do not like to use any apps, and Freelancer requires the use of their app when doing hourly projects.

Hello, I have briefly read the description on book editing, and I can deliver as per the requirements however I need us to discuss for more clarity on the details, deadline and budget as well.

Hello, first-time author! You had me at non-determinist philosophical perspective. My name is Jackie, and I would be so honored to edit your book for you. 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. Perfect prose is my passion--I have copy-edited five novels, a self-help book, and several newspaper/magazine articles and business publications. I am currently a writer and staff copy editor with three local publications in my city, and I have worked as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. I would be more than happy to edit a sample of your writing free of charge in order for you to determine if I am a fit for your needs. I also have samples of my prior work and references available upon request. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I'd like to edit your book. Is it fiction or non-fiction? I work per project, not per hour, so please provide the word count for an accurate bid. I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. Please see my reviews on my profile page. Thank you.

The author of six published novels and a collection of short stories (see my freelancer profile for full details), I have over ten years editing and proofreading experience. In that time, I have worked with all kinds of different writers - from debut authors to the far more established - writing in all kinds of different genres: literary, thriller, YA, fiction and non-fiction, self-help, religious and academic texts. Familiar with all publishing industry standards, I will edit your project in three stages. Firstly, a basic edit to eradicate all typos and grammatical lapses. Secondly, a more creative edit focusing on sentence structure, word choice etc. And thirdly, a final edit to ensure that essential professional polish.

Hi. Although I live in Brazil now, I´m an American editor and proofreader, a native English speaker with excellent language skills and years of experience revising books and other texts. I use Track Changes to show my corrections, questions and comments, and offer a 2nd edit (I revise your text, you read it and adjust it or answer my questions, and I revise it again to get things as perfect and clear as possible for your readers). You´re right to be cautious - in order to show you how I work, I offer to do a free sample edit on 2-3 pages of your choice to demonstrate the style and quality of my method. In order to calculate the price of my services, I need to know how many words are in your text and how completely it is organized - do you have chapters or sections, or is it just a continuous text that will need structuring? Also, while I never studied much philosophy formally, I´m a pretty good thinker and would like to understand the subject matter a little more thoroughly before getting started. So - when you mention different realities, are you talking about what some call "parallel worlds", or different dimensions or planes as some esoteric schools call them? And when you mention "non-determinist", are you speaking of the way our choices define our future, instead of some divine plan being "written" which we are incapable of altering, a pre-determined, fixed game? Please send me details and explanations, because something tells me I´d really like to work with you.

Hi there I am a very thorough editor and writer with a sharp eye for detail. I have edited and proofread a variety of fiction and non-fiction writings. I can understand your mistrust and apprehensiveness; there are means to avoid this, such as non-disclosure agreements as well as possibly setting me a short test so that you can see my capabilities. We could also chat and see if we can work well together, so please feel free to contact me. Kind regards, Kevin

Hello, I would love to help you with your work because I enjoy narratives that explore philosophical ideas and challenge our concept of reality (Sophie's World is one of my favourite books). This means I can engage with your writing better than the average freelancer, and can provide you constructive feedback from a reader's perspective. Professionally, I am a native English speaker with four years' experience as an editor in legal publishing, working with different authors to produce a mix of academic and professional textbooks. I have also worked one-on-one with a self-published author of cookbooks. This combined experience means that I can quickly adjust to your personal writing style and working habits while confidently maintaining high professional standards. I proposed 15 hours per week to be on the safe side, but realistically I would be able to work more than that, subject to your schedule and the time-difference (I am based in London). I hope you accept my bid, but regardless I wish you all the best with your novel.

Hi, heartiest congratulations on writing your first book. I would like to edit and proof read your book. I have edited novels and books for other Freelance members and will be happy to undertake your project. Do let me know the number of pages or words that your book contains so that I can give you correct quote and actual time span for completing the work. I can assure you that the work will be done in a timely and professional manner. Thank you.

Hi I fully understand your project's requirements. A few years ago, I found myself in the same position as you are. While I was not very careful in handling my work, I would like to help you improve your work and not make you go through a bad first experience in this field. I have considerable experience writing short stories and books. I have written stories in different genres and am a published author, with my fiction novel Chasing Sanity available in India and the UK. I have written a novel that is quite similar to yours in setting and idea. My novel is due to be published soon, but I think since I have experience writing such stories, I can be of great help to you. Feel free to request my writing samples through chat to see the quality of my writing. I will be happy to work with you on this project.
