Paid on delivery
Hello, Currently I am writing a bookseries of which the first book will be ready for a positive, thorough and critical editor (born, raised and schooled in the USA) starting the 1st of January 2017. What I am looking for is a professional editor who takes out the bad grammar, the inconsistencies and who also looks at the overall storyline. Please note, although the book is written in English, this is not my first language. It is my wish to have my first novel published by the 1st of July 2017 which means the editor will have 6 months in total to help me get the novel publish-ready. It's a book for Young Adults, genre Fantasy. It will be around 100-120 A4 pages long. Before accepting any offer I would like to see credentials and recommendations of people you helped before with editing Fantasy novels. Any other questions you might have in order to decide if you want to work for and with me, please don't hesitate to contact me. Kind regard, Petra

Hi Petra, I'd like to help you with your book. I can give you an accurate bid once I know what the word count is. I am a university-educated native English speaker - with excellent command of the language. I have lots of experience outside of this site - writing, editing, teaching creative writing and doing manuscript consultations. The genre doesn't matter - I have a good understanding of story structure, character development - etc. I teach it. Please see my reviews for what I have worked on through this site - and portfolio for examples of my writing. If you need to see/know more - perhaps I can provide it. I would just want to know a bit about your writing background (see a sample), what your intentions are for the series and a general idea of what the story is about. Thank you.

Hello, Petra. What’s the subject matter and word count of your written content? I'd be happy to provide you editorial assistance, any weekday (Monday-Friday). I'm an experienced, professionally trained, full-time freelance editor. I've edited, proofread, and formatted written documents, such as books, e-books, journal articles, magazine articles, manuals, PowerPoint slides, web content, as well as university-approved master's and doctoral dissertations varying in length and subject matter while adhering to the required style guide. I provide the necessary recommendations and amendments using the MS Word comment tool and track changes feature, or apply standard proofreading marks when working on files in PDF format. I hope to know more about your project. If you’d have questions or concerns regarding my proposal, just send me an e-mail and I’ll respond shortly. Thank you for taking the time to review my proposal and profile. For now I wish you a blessed day ahead. Sincerely, Al

Hello Petra, I have edited my mother's mystery novels as well as a four volume Science Fiction/Fantasy novel that she wrote. I don't have examples on my computer, but I can direct you to Amazon and give you her name and the titles of her books, if you choose me. I have a Master's degree in Counseling, and while that is not a degree in English, I have written many papers with excellent grades. My previous job was as a typist/proofreader for a newspaper. Having edited my mother's books, I understand the importance of maintaining the author's voice in their writing while helping make sure the writing is grammatically correct and the spelling is on point. I am a native speaker/writer. Thank you for your consideration!
