Hello, and congrats on finishing your book! My name is Jackie, and I would absolutely love to edit it for you.
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. Perfect prose is my passion--I've edited more than twenty novels, screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. I am currently a writer and staff copy editor with three local publications in my city, and I have worked as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing.
I typically charge between NZD $.012 and .038/word, depending on how intensive the editing need is and what type of editing is desired. On average, I edit 2,300 words of text in one hour. Since I don't know the particular kind of editing you're looking for (i.e. copy editing, line editing, or more developmental editing), my current bid is only an estimate.
I'd be more than happy to edit a writing sample free of charge in order for you to determine whether I am a fit for your needs. I also have samples of my prior work and references available upon request.
I look forward to hearing from you!
