I am writing a book about danish food and restaurants to be published in Denmark in danish. I am considering to do an english version, where I myself will translate into english.

The text is app. 22.000 words. Please let me know what you would charge for this assignment.

I am also currently the copy editor for several entities, including the International Journal of Wellbeing and the New Zealand Foundation for the Blind.

Hello, I would be happy to edit the English version of your book. I have helped other Danish authors with their English books. As your editor, i will correct the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and sentence structure, make sure the text flows well, ensure smooth transitions as needed, and fix sentences that are too long, hard to understand, awkward or ambiguous. 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 thesis and dissertation papers, peer-reviewed journal articles, fiction and non-fiction books, and textbooks. English is my native language and my Bachelor's degree is in English. I use Microsoft Word with the Track Changes feature turned on. My work is quick, careful and thorough. Here at Freelancer.com my work has earned a 4.9 out of 5 rating from my 171 clients, as shown at https://www.freelancer.com/u/jw010699.html. My clients have commented, "Julie was very good with making suggestions as if she had real ownership in the project's success." "This is my third time working with Julie, she has done a good job and took care of the details. I definitely recommend her to others who need their work polished.” “Julie does excellent and professional work.” I would enjoy editing and proofreading your book and hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards, Julie Webb

I'm a professional English proofreader with extensive experience in linguistics and writing. Over the years, I've helped a lot of clients polish and refine their manuscripts (fiction and non-fiction), business documents, books, novels, novellas, ebooks, short stories, blog posts, articles, presentations, etc. Besides ensuring a document is error free, I usually, if not always, opt to restructure or recast sentences for clarity and coherence, i.e. transitions between ideas. I also do some moderate and/or substantive editing, where necessary, to promote understanding, create parallelism and avoid awkwardness and ambiguity. Also, I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects but I may keep a copy of your document on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. The finished product will include two copies of the edited text—one that shows the changes (a copy with MS Word Track Changes on), and one that incorporates all of the changes made. PS. I hold a BA in English Language and Literature and currently teach TOEFL and IELTS. These are some of the books I have edited: 'The Shoebox' by Tracy Ploch 'Hiding in the Shade' by Kathryn Wiseman 'The Opposite Effect' by Steve Claydon

I have experience of working with translated version of documents and in order to provide you with an accurate bid and realistic time frame for completion, I would need to see a sample of the book once you have translated it. Sometimes translations can take a little more time to correct than others. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me via chat if you have any questions you would like to ask. Kind regards.

My strategy would be to go through the text in detail and highlight any potential problems, which we could then discuss, before finalising the project, ensuring that none of your intended meaning was lost during the course of my edit. I fell well qualified for this role as a native speaker, with nothing but five star reviews on this website, before doing this I studied philosophy, taught English and worked in British politics. I would be delighted to discuss the project further and provide samples of my writing, if you get in touch.

"Hi, An experienced and skilled writer with impeccable grammar skill, strong visual awareness, and insists on spelling perfection, you can rest assured that anytime I edit, proofread, and analyze a document of any size it will be returned in tip-top shape and free from errors. Grammatical perfection is a necessity in a finished document, and I will analyze, modify, revise, and reword as necessary so you will be left with a superior finished product. I also do all my editing, proofing, and rewriting manually without the use of any online rewriting programs. When quality counts, contact me. Best regards, Hoffman"

As a working freelance writer for many years now, I have become a very reliable and experienced editor. Editing, rewriting and proofreading is a very important part of the writing process, and it must be done with strict ease. An editor must catch any and all grammatical, spelling, structure and formatting errors in a piece of writing. They must be consistent, creative, patient, negotiable, and very detail oriented. This task is highly significant in completing any piece of writing, which qualifies me to edit just about anything you may need proofread or rewritten. With great understanding and experience of editing, I will enhance your work to its full potential, ensuring you are satisfied and the work is more than presentable. Regards, Dhardesty.

Writing an eBook is quick, easy, cheap to produce and potentially more profitable. As far as publishing goes, it’s not complicated at all. eBooks are an authoritative content marketing tool that can dramatically increase the exposure of your brand. However, the chance of success with your eBook greatly depends on it’s content, quality, and design. A great e-book can serve myriad purposes. You can use it to educate your target audience, promote your products and services, or to simply share your thoughts and vision with the online world through content-rich E-books. I can take your drafted eBook ideas from amateur to professional grade under the keen eye of my expertise. As a professional freelance writer, I have years of experience in writing or rewriting short story & eBooks. Regards, Battiston
