Hi! I have gone through your project details on this editing task. What's the name of your novel? I'm detail oriented and eagle eyed, especially when it comes to proofreading for spelling, grammar, and punctuation using either American or British standards. I love helping writers to hone their work and elevate it to its highest potential. I will suggest changes to improve the clarity and flow of your text, but I work with a light hand to leave your distinctive voice and tone untouched. I treat all text with utmost respect for copyright and confidentiality. I work in Microsoft Word, and unless you request otherwise, I track changes.

What genre are you writing in? Can you describe your ideal reader? Would you like to receive my comments in a written document or in a phone call? Let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Webb, and I’m a professional editor and proofreader with 36 years of experience, which includes working on a wide range of fiction and nonfiction books, research articles, and manuals.

Hello, I am a highly-skilled writer who has strong visual awareness, exemplary grammar and spelling knowledge, and the ability to analyze and modify. When it comes to missing links and correcting errors, look no further. Remember, your content could be a first impression. If you send out material that is riddled with misspellings, grammatical errors, and wrong information, you aren’t going to be presenting a good image of your business? Here is the summary what you have requested. Task: I need an editor to help polish my novel Short Summary: Edit and polish a novel Proposed Deadline: 3 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

Hi! I have checked your project details but can you please share the draft as it is now? A small draft will be good for me to check the amount of work involved. Is it only grammatical proofreading or enhancing the content as well? How much time we have? I'm happy to guide you depending on your needs, whether that's a light touch to help you get rid of grammatical errors or a more comprehensive edit including rewriting parts of your work. I am confident to deliver my best possible. Please come via chat in order to discuss your project.

Hi there! I’m Deborah and I’m a skilled native-speaking English editor. I’d be delighted to edit your novel and give you feedback so it will pull readers in more effectively. My editing thorough and sensitive. Apart from being error free, it is characterized by awareness of the power of the plot’s drive, appreciation of the realism of protagonist’s motivation and character, respect for the writer’s created world and sensitivity to the nuance of language. I will certainly give you feedback about those aspects of the novel! Samples 5 & 6 in my Freelancer Portfolio are from novels I’ve edited and display my editing/proofreading skill. In one of his reviews, one author said “She is the best!! This is my third time hiring her. She does everything in her capacity to make your books perfect. She is very good at doing her job. I will continue to hire her future.” I’d suggest three Milestones: an edit + feedback + a final proofread. If you would you like to check/tweak/possibly add to the novel after the edit and feedback, you are welcome to. My proofread will then take any of your alterations into consideration too. Some writers like to do that, as the edit allows them to see what they’ve written with fresh eyes – which then sparks further detail they want to add. My aim is to make my clients happy! Regards Deborah

"I'm a trained, old-school proofreader. If three decades of professional editing has taught me anything, it’s that a thorough proofread is the difference between a mediocre piece of copy and something which exudes polish and credibility. Poor grammar, inconsistent formatting and spelling mistakes are the writing equivalent of turning up to a date with ketchup stains down the front of your shirt. It doesn’t matter how much you have to offer if your first impression is slovenly! I have years of practical training as a proofreader. I can give your copy the shine it deserves. So, if you're looking for a person who can provide high-quality proofreading,and is flexible and quick to learn, I could be just the right person! Sincerely, Faye "

Good afternoon; My name is Nadene Seiters, and I’m a professional line editor, copy editor, and proofreader with over eight years of experience in the publishing industry. I’ve worked with both non-fiction and fiction in the past, but I’d like to know what genre you feel your novel will fit into before signing a contract. Examples of my previous work can be found in my portfolio; however, I prefer to complete sample edits before I’m seriously considered for a project. I’m willing to sign a nondisclosure agreement before I see any part of your novel. I like to do this for two reasons: First, I’m able to see your writing style and judge whether or not I believe I’m a good fit for the project. Second, I’ll be sending back the sample with my suggested edits to help you determine if I’m a good candidate. I charge $0.005 per word for content editing, which is the type of editing you’re asking for. For this price, you’ll receive your manuscript back with suggested content changes, as well as suggested grammatical changes. Once you've made the suggested changes, I’m willing to go through the document a second time to make sure nothing has been missed. A 79,000-word manuscript will take me fourteen days to complete for the first pass and another five for the second pass. Thank you for your time and consideration! Sincerely, Nadene Seiters
