The project is to edit my short parenting book with a particular focus on adjustments to the style, formatting, organization and overall flow to achieve: - simplicity of language - clarity of message - working as a whole - any grammatical details / mistakes sorted The book is in the form of a story which I intend to publish as an ebook. The book is 10,304 words in total and is an easy 20 minute read. There is a lot of dialogue between a young mum and an older woman. The book is written as a story which mainly focuses on the interaction of a young mum of 2 children and an older woman. The audience of the story is mums of children aged 5 – 13 years of age.

I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 61 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. I am a parent (of the "older woman" variety) who read many books about parenting when I was a young parent and joined a number of relevant groups. I have ongoing freelance work editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters and have just begun as the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, another online journal. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer - and an article about me has recently been published https://www.freelancer.com/community/articles/57-year-old-discovers-a-lucrative-career-on-freelancer-com Other recent work has included proofreading theses on a variety of subjects, as well as individual chapters of academic writing. For two years I was a copy editor for Elsevier Science Publishers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, rewriting text by authors who were not native English speakers. I have worked with individual clients to bring 15 books to publication and three of these clients have rehired me to work on a second book. Having been a teacher of English in high school for four years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language.

Hi, I'm a South African language practitioner currently based in Guatemala. I work in most varieties of English, including UK, US and, for your purposes, New Zealand English. I'm a thorough editor and, having worked in the educational publishing industry, I'm great at simplifying language to suit the target audience without losing the message. Your project sounds very interesting and I'd love to work on it. (I'm fascinated by how children develop as people and have written a textbook on early childhood development.) Of course I'd be happy to do a sample edit first, should you prefer. I'm hoping to hear from you soon! Kind regards Linell

Hi As I understand, you need an editor who has the ability to edit your parenting book. I'm interested in getting the job as I’m an experienced editor. I’ve been working in editing line for more than 20 years. I took graduation and master degree in Journalism and MPhil in English Studies. So I know it very well how to edit and improve a write-up. At Freelancer, I’ve also completed several editing, proofreading and rewriting projects. You can see samples of my editing works in my portfolio. At present, I’m attached to FAZA Editing House. If I take up the job, it is my commitment to deliver the work on time. I hope you will find me suitable for your work. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks SM Saifuddin

Hi. I would love to work on this. I am a mom myself to a 5 yr old and 1 yr old. I am currently doing a lot of editing work on academic papers however, I've worked a lot on product descriptions, lifestyle articles, and even movie summaries. I can write with flair, style, even humor. I can finetune your writing and make it more succinct. I think we'd be a good fit. Thanks!

Hello there, My name in Humphrey Brian and I'm a freelance writer, editor and proofreader from Kenya. As I was going through your job description, I had no doubts in my mind on my ability to accede to the requirements of your assignment. Simply holding a Bachelor's Degree in Literature- as I do- is never a guarantee to landing an editorial job, that's why I offer more. Adept and industrious in nature, I undertake all editorial assignments as though they were my own with the full knowledge that as a client, your book is both a hobby and an investment. Should I land the offer I will get rid of all punctuation and grammatical errors, align the syntax, formatting and style but above all else, ensure the message flow is simple and clear enough to suit the preferred audience of mums with children between 5 to 13 years of age. I am utterly excited about this project and hope to win the bid. My fee is 166 NZD and I’ll have the work competed in four days as I will be working on it full time. From my profile it’s quite vivid that I have yet to undertake any projects on here despite joining the site in 2014. This is solely because immediately after my graduation I joined several freelancing sites before finally settling on Elance.com. I have since returned to Freelancer.com after the Elance take over. As such, this project means a lot to me because it shall be the breakthrough I’ve diligently been waiting for. Feel free to send me a DM for any queries. Regards, Humphrey
