Hi everybody! Thanks for your interest. I'm looking for an editor for my scifi work, in English first, but also Spanish and French, for copy edits and proofreading. If you can offer development advice that's welcomed too. Please respond with samples of your work. I'm looking for someone experienced, professional and very knowledgeable about the language, with interest in the genre. I plan to keep writing so I'm looking into building a long term collaboration. If you also happen to be very knowledgeable about scifi in general and you understand very well the hero's journey, pacing, and when to use passive voice effectively, that'd be awesome! Not sure about what an appropriate budget should be, so just bid what you consider appropriate for 1 short story (Approx 5,000 words), which you can get from my published book in Amazon: [login to view URL] Thanks!

I've been at this writing game for a long, long time -- and it shows. From corporate newsletters and online articles to advertising, poetry, blog posts, e-books, fiction, even comedy...and with subject matters as varied as health and medicine, financial planning, insurance, real estate, travel, food, jewelry, decor, and crafts...you simply won't find a better co-author, editor, and mentor for your writing needs. Strengthening your voice and conveying your message are my specialties; novelists especially welcome. See my happy client feedback for proof, and then let's talk!

Hi, I'm Rohan and I'm ideally suited to developmentally edit your Sci-Fi stories. I'm a skilled writer and editor with a bachelors degree in Literature and Creative Writing. 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. As an Editor for a leading Publishing House (Penguin Random House) I have edited and formatted several high profile manuscripts that have come my way. As a Literature student I have a keen understanding of the genre, narrative styles, and of the hero's journey arc in general. You can go through my profile to examine samples of my writing and my editing as well. I also happen to be a "Preferred Freelancer" in this site with a great set of reviews and as such you can trust my services. My services for Proofreading 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. My services for Editing include: Rewrite clunky phrases. Make sure there is narrative consistency. Make sure there are no plot or thematic holes. Make sure the dialogues are in line with the characters' backgrounds. 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) Thanks, R

Hi, An experienced and skilled writer with impeccable grammar skill, strong visual awareness, and insists on spelling perfection, you can rest assured that anytime I edit, proofread, and analyze a document of any size it will be returned in tip-top shape and free from errors. Grammatical perfection is a necessity in a finished document, and I will analyze, modify, revise, and reword as necessary so you will be left with a superior finished product. I also do all my editing, proofing, and rewriting manually without the use of any online rewriting programs. When quality counts, contact me. Best regards, James Walpole

Hello, Collaboration, attention to detail, consistency, patience, creativity, and accuracy. These are all traits I have to bring to the table as an editor. Editing is crucial and must be taken seriously, and very carefully. Not only will I fact check and do my research, I will also look for proper and consistent style and tone. My proofreading, editing, and rewriting abilities allow readers to clearly understand and dive into a piece of writing. I have an eye for altering to the point of creating a successful piece of work, as desired by my client. Regards, Mathinson

Hi there. I would like to help you. I am an exceptional editor and proofreader. I am very thorough too. I have edited over 100 theses/dissertations, books, websites, apps, resumes, blogs, and articles. I have also written several peer-reviewed academic articles and I delve in creative writing from time to time too. Quality takes time, hence the time frame quoted, however, I do aim to have the task completed before then. I have a great understanding of the hero's journey and the monomyth; I would like to see the document and discuss further terms with you; please contact me. Kind regards, Kevin
