£20-250 GBP

Paid on delivery
I require a professional Editor/Proof-reader for sifting through a 3000 word short story 'The Big Sell'. Native English British speakers will be preferred. No bids by non-native speakers please! Let me just repeat that: no bids by non-native speakers please. I am paying standard rates : £8/1000 words = i.r.o. £27 for the story. I will give preference to Editors who have edited fiction before at a professional level. I will expect someone who knows their grammar and can briefly comment on the integrity, pacing and characterisation as well. Happy bidding!

Sounds like a great opportunity; I can definitely help you! My name is William K Ferro; I'm a pro writer/editor who's new to Freelancer.com, but not to freelancing! I specialize in substantive editing and ghostwriting. It will be a pleasure to edit your short story, transforming it into a fully publisher-ready manuscript. I have indeed done substantive edits of fiction manuscripts before; I can connect you with a former client of mine if you'd like. I write and edit both fiction and nonfiction for a highly diverse clientele; I've also ghostwritten five successful books. My writing and editing have a proven track record of increasing traffic, raising profiles, and driving sales. I've never missed a deadline. I'm a regular contributor to a popular blog, and serve as a contributing editor/ghostwriter for a transnational nonprofit. My writing samples are available here in my portfolio: http://www.freelancer.com/u/williamkferro355.html and on my Ferro Communications website. Here's a quote from a recent client review: "What a pleasure to work with a professional who is not only extremely talented, but who has a real passion for his craft! Helpful in every way...highly recommended." - David Bunney I look forward to working with you! Best regards, William K. Ferro Ferro Communications

I'm new to freelancer, but I'm a published author and I do most of my own editing for my publisher. My words are usually published just as I've written them. I'm attaching a sample of my writing for you. I bring a great deal of emotional depth to my writing, and I can help you bring out the emotions in characters to reach the audience if tweaking is required.

Hi Prussell. I am a native of the United States with a degree in Creative Writing from the University of Arizona. Currently I teach English in Santiago, Chile using, funny enough, a british-based book. I am aware of all the spelling variances and can provide you with a proper edit. Other editing experience includes an ebook published on Amazon, called "Harpo: War Hero, Basketball Wizard." I sent a PM with a seperate edit that is pretty unrelated, but demonstrates the length I go, if anything. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Best of luck finding your editor. -Warren

I'm a native English speaker with a bachelor's degree in English Writing and Film Studies from the University of Pittsburgh. I'm very familiar with this type of work (proofreading and editing a peer's fiction), as it was a part of everyday classwork for me.
