$100-300 USD

Paid on delivery
I am writing a book that is a combination of chronicling my experience and helping. Looking for someone that has a very creative mind with a since of self help book styles as well. Doing the book section by section, so looking to get edited this way with the end result being a full book. Welcome the editors input and I am not OCD about the wording, only the organic meaning and message of each segment. Not sure of timeline, but hopefully will get this info as moving along. If able to do a certain number of pages at a time as sent, then capsule and make sense of where each topic should go, this would be very helpful. When responding if interested, please give me amount of time available each week to work on and if in the middle of various projects that may cause delays. This is ok, but want to be prepared if delays happen. Hope to have done by end of November. I am actively writing daily on each segment.

Need an editor to review your book ensuring the content is flawless and ready for publication?I am your go to person:) I'm an experienced writer and editor with a postgraduate background in communication studies. I bring my 17+ years of professional expertise to the service of the general public & academia to assist in this sacred process.I strive for complete accuracy and the highest degree of professionalism in the work I complete. With excellent content recognition, my editing and proofreading skills extend across many industries and business needs—you could say that I am an “editing savant”—and have always been the hidden accomplice behind any successful document. I am a passionate perfectionist when it comes to a succinct, well-written and mistake-free document—that oh-so-important first impression. The message in your book needs the five key elements of communication: Clarity Coherency Concision Consistency Correctness This is what you would be guaranteed if I am awarded this project. I enjoy supporting people to be their best, especially when it comes to clear communication. Your professional presentation is my business. Sample edits can be found on my freelancer portfolio. Can you let me know the word count you have in mind? My schedule is quite flexible but I would be happy if you can inform me 24hrs before sending the document to me. Best regards, Marli

Good afternoon, I am a former journalist and marketing specialist with more than fifteen years of experience writing, editing and proofreading. As a freelancer, I have edited the gamut of material, from academic papers to cookbooks, as well as an extensive range of genres, from non-fiction to contemporary and young adult fiction. In my opinion, there are few things more frustrating than reading a great book that has grammar issues. It is an honor, but a considerable responsibility, to be trusted to smooth out a manuscript that an author has worked so hard to generate. My peers and coworkers appreciate my candor and honest feedback in any given situation. The perfectionist in me ensures no problems slip under the radar. When one combines these qualities with how much I enjoy fixing grammar and punctuation issues, I am an editorial force to be reckoned with. I am more than happy to work with you on sections, or as a whole and am readily available via email or Skype. I have at least 5 - 10 hours each week to work with you. If I fall victim to Murphy's law (i.e., Internet crashing, etc.), I will keep you updated as I can, but I will never leave you wondering where I am. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or would like to see any examples of my editing. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time and consideration, Mariah Patterson

Hello, I'd like to edit/critique a portion of your book FOR FREE to show you what I can do ... and to see if we would be a good fit for one another. I'm available to get to work right away. My name is Jeremy Hawkins, and I hold an MFA in creative writing. I've also owned and operated my own web-based editing company, The Distillery, for the past two years. I am a precise and efficient editor, but my real passion is for creative development. I’ve also edited a inspirational/self-help books in the past … so I think I might be a strong candidate for this job. Regarding my day-to-day availability: I do have several editing jobs going on at the moment, but turnaround time should not be a problem, as the deadlines for those other projects are not pressing. Occasionally it might take me an extra day or so to get work back to you, but otherwise, there should be no problems. I look forward to hearing from you. I'd love to learn more about your project. All best, Jeremy Hawkins Founder/Lead Editor The Distillery: Editing Services Chapel Hill, NC

I have a Bachelor's Degree in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing. I have written several novels and published one of them. I participated in a writing event to challenge myself. The challenge was to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. I did it two Novembers ago. I am not working on any projects as of the moment, so my schedule is pretty open at the moment.

Hello After carefully reading your requirements, I am certain i can assist with your project. I am able to edit/format your book and (if needed) add my own ideas or suggestions to it. Although not born in a native English country, i am proficient and almost flawless when it comes to grammar and punctuation. My timezone is +2 GMT and that is so far the only minor inconvenient that I can see that will make our collaboration slightly difficult, but i can adapt myself to your timezone with almost no problem. I am certain that if you have your book ready by the end of November, I will be able to respond on it as soon as you send me a segment. I am available at least 10 - 15 hours each week, mostly on the week-ends, and starting the 1st of November (if things do not go as I planned) I will be available 24 hours a day. Hope to have a positive reply from you soon. Regards, Claudia

Greetings! I have read the project description and would be delighted to edit and proofread your book. I love self-help books and believe they are great resources for self-reflection and self-improvement. With the rather narrow deadline you have set for yourself, I would be willing to make this project first priority in order to avoid delays to your November goal. Feel free to explore my profile and portfolio to gain a better understanding of my skill level. I have worked on several projects privately of this nature before and feel confident that I can do this job well. Thank you for your time and consideration. Kind regards, Courtney Hall

Hello, My name is Caitlin and I am interested in working with you on this project. I am a qualified EFL teacher, which means that my understanding of the English language is advanced. I also hold an English degree and a history degree, and worked as a document editor in academic and legal offices. Therefore, I am highly qualified to edit your work. More specific to your project, I am an excellent fit in the domain of self-help. I studied psychology in university for two years before changing my major, and also grew up with a psychologist as a mother. I am very familiar with different self help books and have grown up reading them. I am very available for this project as I have just moved and am seeking work. I am new to Freelancer and, in the interest of building a reputation, I have kept my bid low. Other projects would not interfere as I would prioritize your book. I hope to hear back from you, and good luck with your book regardless. Caitlin

Hi there! I am happy to see that you are slowly chipping away at this formidable task. I tried to write a book a few times, ending up with half-completed projects. In any case, I have done editing/proofreading jobs for online magazines and projects, and I am also familiar with most of the jargon, including the publishing side of things. I was especially interested when I read the "self-help" angle, seeing as I frequently read those (and, of course, secretly wish to write one, what with the whole New Age phenomenon). Now, I can help you with consistency, content, and cohesiveness. I can work on this project with you for the specified time and money. I hope you'll consider my bid. :)

Dear rgstyle, I am interested in helping you finish your book. I've been an editor for more than two decades now and, like you, I like helping others in any little way I can -- and one of them is through self-help articles or books. I can devote a minimum of 10 hours a week to your project, depending on the amount of material you are able to send. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best, Jabez27
