I have recently had 3 ebooks published and they are doing fairly well. I am a native English speaker/writer so this allows me to produce creative and error free work. I work full time from home and so deadlines are not really an issue. I have vast knowledge in several different areas and this too serves me very well. I would really like to work on this project for you. I do hope to hear from you soon.

I have read the YA genre my entire life. Now that I hold my master's degree in American and British literature, I am still working on my own novel and still read this genre. I am familiar with what is popular in the genre and what readers look for.

I've been writing, proofing, and editing articles and stories for print and electronic magazines, blogs, social media, corporate websites, scripts, and marketing materials for decades. That's why I can do your project in a timely fashion and within a budget that works: because I'm FAST and I KNOW HOW TO MAKE AUTHORS SOUND GOOD. I've worn many hats over time, and have been comfortable in all of them: Copywriter, Director of Marketing, Creative Director, Ghostwriter, Book Editor, and Producer among them. I've done ghostwriting for authors with English as a second (or third) language before. I'm also an Editor for a successful electronic book author who tops the charts on Amazon.com. If you want to know more about me, you can read detailed information on my career website at http://www.rleebrown.com. It will give you a good look at who I am and how much I enjoy the art of creative storytelling, complete with samples in a multitude of voices.

I would love to work on this project--I adore the supernatural/horror genre, and I am an avid reader of YA fiction, so I would jump at the chance to help bring these manuscripts to the next level. I have an MFA in fiction writing, and I have spent the past several years working directly with authors on their novel-length projects, offering advice and editing on plot structure, character believability, and overall pacing. My editing process involves identifying the high points of the story, what unique aspects really make the story sing, and work on finding ways for the plot to EARN those moments by offering alternative plot sequences, making sure each scene adds tension and meaningful character beats, and/or line editing to allow the prose to create the perfect atmosphere to make the story feel as real as possible. My bid applies to all three projects mentioned--a total of 70,000 words--and includes page-by-page comments and a multi-page letter to the author detailing my thoughts on the project as a whole, how well it's working and where it might be falling short. I will be willing to follow up with the author once my edits are complete to answer any questions, and I'd also be available for further workshops and edits, if necessary. Thanks for your consideration. I hope you'll decide to work with me, and I wish you luck on the project! All best, Chelsea

Thanks for the chance to bid. I'm an experienced writer and editor who's recently back on the freelance market and looking to help with a mix of marketing-oriented and creative projects like yours. I recently helped a filmmaker polish a couple of treatments and have just started an editing/consulting job on a period spy story. The kind of developmental work you need is what I like to do best—it's a pleasure helping other writers develop characters, chart plots, and tighten the bones of their stories. Yours sounds like fun--I'd love to lend a hand. Good luck!
