Being a professional PhD level academic writer, editor and proofreader, I'd be the best fit for the said task " I have written a book and need someones help to English proof read, to edit and to structure the content properly so it does make sense (story line)" I will provide you with 2 MSWord files upon completion, first one with the highlighted proofread version( so that you can figure out the proofreading) and the second with the accepted changes version (the final document). As a proofreader and editor (in both scenarios of structural editing and language editing), I am experienced and knowledgeable, with an eye for details. I have the tenacity and predilection to proofread and edit books (fiction and non-fiction), magazines, websites, as well as publications aimed at special audience such as academic writing journals or business reports.  With a PhD in English as well as years of experience in curriculum design and teaching writing at various levels, I am skilled and knowledgeable in all types of proofreading and editing tasks. When it comes to editing and proofreading, I make sure that: The text is free of errors like typos, misspellings, grammatical mistakes, and punctuation errors. The content is engaging and readable to the readers’ retina. Style and tone is correct. Everything in the text conforms to the acceptable editing standards. You can fully count on me and I am looking forward to working with you. Thanks

I would very much like to discuss your book with you. I like that kind of work and consider myself an expert. May I ask the word count? That could affect my bid, in either direction. I have worked for many clients while associated with Freelancer, and have gathered many positive reviews, as evidenced in my profile. There are also samples of my work in the portfolio section. I have edited/proofread/ghostwritten novels, non-fiction books, technical documents, websites, self-help books, CVs, masters' theses, doctoral dissertations, letters of application to universities/medical schools, and graduate degree programs. I am a FINRA-licensed Financial Professional and have worked as an ISO-9000 Project Manager. Technical terms and jargon are not foreign to me. My writing/editing style of language is American English. Thank you. I hope you will seriously consider my bid.

I understand that you need me to proof, edit and structure the content of you book perfectly for you for $250 OR LESS. I can do that for you. I am a college professor of English Writing, and formerly a HANDS-ON newspaper editor where I daily wrote, edited and revised dozens of editorials and news articles — all for publication and within strict DEADLINES. I have many years of experience writing and editing. In your reply, a reference to the number of pages/words would be helpful in determining an exact deadline. I look forward to working with you. /BJ **EXTRAS**: RECENT CLIENT REVIEWS: 1. “Prof B J delivered what was requested, and more. The cooperation was very smooth and communication quite vivid with humorous accents, which helped all to survive a rather tough and rigid project. Thanks.” ~ TransBrokers 2. “Prof B J. is an exceptional writer. We really like the way he pays attention to the minute details to deliver the best content. He is one of the best writers we have found on this platform. Thanks Prof. B J. for all the hard work and quality delivery. Thanks!” - MST0809 3. “As before, it is great to cooperate with someone who understands your needs without much explanation required. Top quality again. Thanks, Professor” ~ Writing_Solutions

Hi. I can edit and proofread your book, correcting the English grammar, spelling, vocabulary, punctuation and sentence structure, as well as improving the organization and flow of your ideas so they make sense to any reader. Although I live in Brazil now, I´m an American writer, editor and proofreader, a native English speaker with excellent language skills and years of experience at revising books and other texts. During the past year, I assisted the authors of 2 supernatural thrillers, a collection of romantic short stories, 2 non-fiction self-improvement books, the biography of an American musician and the story of a Chinese monk´s search for enlightenment, among other things. I can use Word´s Track Changes function to show you all my corrections, comments and suggestions for your text. In order to determine how much time and work your project will require, I need to know the number of words you´ve written and take a look at your manuscript. I´d be glad to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement to protect your author´s rights. Please contact me for further discussion, and let´s put the finishing touches on your book. Best, David

Hello, and congratulations on finishing your book! That isn't an easy task. My name is Jackie. 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. My passion is well-polished, great writing -- Over the past year alone, I've edited more than twenty-five published works, including thirteen novels, as well as screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. I am currently a staff writer and associate editor with my city's monthly magazine, and I have worked in the past as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. I would love to work with you to make this book shine. I'm happy to send you a PDF copy of my editing portfolio, and I'd be glad to edit a sample of your writing free of charge. I typically charge between $.01 and .025/word, depending on how intensive the editing need is. Since I don't yet know the exact word count of your novel or the level of editing required, my current bid is only an estimate. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi, this sounds like it would be a great project to work on. As an aspiring author myself, I love helping others who are working towards the same goal. I have been working from home as a freelance writer, editor and Internet marketing specialist since 2011. You can check out my profile for more detail on my qualifications and portfolio. I would love to hear from you to discuss your project further. You'll notice on the timeframe of my bid I put 28 days, this is because I would need to know the approximate number of words in your book and the level of in-depth editing that would be necessary to give a better timeframe. I do believe that quality editing of a book is best done at a slower pace, opposed to hard deadlines. Is this your rough draft? Have you proofread and edited before? Have you had anyone else proofread it before? Do you know the books word count?

I am a highly experienced proof reader and copy editor with a First Class Honours degree in the English Language and you can be fully assured of my technical ability and credentials. The correct use of apostrophes, commas and grammar and those pesky spelling rules that catch everyone out might make you squirm but send your words to me and you won't believe how transformed your text will be. I have many years of experience, and over the years, I have edited several eBooks, manuscripts, magazines, journal publications, website content, articles and brochures. I am happy to simply proofread (catch errors), but I also enjoy in-depth editing, which involves improving readability, offering suggestions and restructuring when necessary. If your project needs careful fact-checking and an eagle eye for eliminating typos and correcting spelling and grammatical errors, I would be happy to help. I can do this with a complete price of $150 and have a turn around time of one week. Thank you for visiting my page! Look forward to hearing from you.
