I'm a VA seeking a kick-ass editor to provide developmental feedback and line-editing services for my client. He is setting up a small indie imprint targeting Gen X and Gen Y with personal, career and leadership development titles and ‘smart thinking' and needs someone he can work closely with to get his latest book to market quickly and smoothly. If you're interested in personal and leadership development, have good experience in this field and have worked with the major publishing houses then I'm keen to hear from you. The book is a 'philosophical memoir' that tackles big ideas for the mass market. Currently the manuscript stands at 78,000 words and will need to be edited down to circa 70k. Please get in touch with details of your experience, any references and an indication of fees and charging structure. Thanks! Jude

What experience do you have that is relevant to this project? While I have not worked with major publishing houses, I have edited numerous texts--a number within this particular niche. Not to mention, I was an English professor for 8 years. Editing and proofreading was a huge part of my job. Proposal: I think that given my experience in this area, I could certainly turn your project around quickly and efficiently. I believe the job of an editor is not only to correct grammar and sentence structure, but also to give the writer a fresh set of eyes with which to view the work and perhaps offer perspectives that the writer previously had not considered. My approach to writing is based upon taking chances as far as being ultra creative and ultimately making a significant impact on that reading moment in a person's life! You have to be smart about how you utilize words and sentences. You can actually check out my overall writing style and tone at scribassist.com. I look forward to hearing from you! Best, Anne

What experience do you have that is relevant to this project? I have lots of experience in this area. Please text me then we will discuss further information.................................................. Proposal: Because academic writing emphasizes arguments and informative details, you should leave this detailed content to a skilled professional to ensure effectiveness. While this is not material intended to entertain, it is material that is designed to provide details and to garner attention. Let my years of technical and academic writing go to work for you. You need manuals, how-to guides and detailed descriptions at one time or another. That is when technical writing comes into play. Let me show you how technical writing can help you. You may be surprised at the results you can expect from technical writing being incorporated into your operations. Regards, Nikola Mastilovic

What experience do you have that is relevant to this project? Hi Jude, I'm Rohan, and these are all the reasons why I'm perfectly suited to edit this philosophical memoir: 1. I'm a skilled writer and editor with a bachelors degree in Literature and Creative Writing, and I've had several articles published in reputed journals, magazines, and online publications. 2. I have experience writing ebooks and novels for clients on a number of topics. 3. Furthermore, I have worked as an Editor for several lifestyle magazines and Publishing Houses, and as such I'm a tried and experienced veteran of the editing industry. 4. As an Editor for a leading Publishing House (Penguin Random House) I have edited and formatted several manuscripts that have come my way. Proposal: Now that you've gone through all the reasons I'm well suited for this project, I'd like to add that I'm in a position to prioritize your work and can offer your client my undivided attention. I only take Sunday off and am available all other days of the week. I also happen to be a 'Preferred Freelancer' in this site with a great set of reviews from similar projects, and so you can trust my services. My services include: Editing in any style UK/ US. I make sure that there are no grammatical or spelling errors. I work on the sentence structure and word usage. Make sure there is language consistence. Rewrite clunky or poorly phrased sentences. Offer developmental feedback based on thought progression, chapter development, positioning, etc. As per industry standards I use 'TrackChanges' in MSWord so you have the option to verify all the changes made. I also offer a running commentary in separate comment bubbles, explaining the 'heavier' edits. (OPTIONAL) I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Rohan.

What experience do you have that is relevant to this project? Hi, I am a Writer and an Editor. I am quite familiar with editing the works of budding authors, and set right some of the needy sentences to what is accepted at the international level. As an Editor, I have not only fixed others' writings but also have helped in publishing some of them. In this area of expertise, I have won the hearts of many first-time authors who sometimes struggle to complete a certain section of their books; I provide them with a logical and appropriate segment that go well with what they really have in mind but struggle to come out with. I do spell-check, sentence structure, continuity, logic, and fact-check them all, and arrange them in such a way that the final output becomes a draft to print. I am a native speaker and my clients have provided me with good reviews on my communication and comprehension skills. Could I please expect a message from you, now? We can discuss your project further. Regards, Tom Faithstar P.S: I am good with fiction :-) In case you have manuscripts-partly or fully finished that require someone like me, please send me a message.
