Hello - I'd love to help you edit your book! I believe the job of an editor is not only to correct grammar and sentence structure, but also to give the writer a fresh set of eyes with which to view the work and perhaps offer perspectives that the writer previously had not considered. A little on my background: I hold a PhD in English/Literature and so have completed a number of book length projects. I've also had articles published in academic journals. I spent eight years teaching college level writing and literature courses. My approach to writing is based upon taking chances as far as being ultra creative and ultimately making a significant impact on that reading moment in a person's life! You have to be smart about how you utilize words and sentences; screen/page space is a precious commodity not to be wasted. You can actually check out my overall writing style and tone at my site: scribassist.com. Best, Anne

My bid timeframe reflects the maximum time I would expect to spend on each chapter, depending on the length. I registered with Freelancer more than two years ago and have 180 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing, proofreading, and transcribing. In addition, for nearly two years I have been the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, an online journal, as well as the copy editor for the Blind Foundation of New Zealand. 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 more than 25 books to publication and seven of these clients have rehired me to work on further books. 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. For six years I was a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own.

I’m a native English speaker and English teacher giving TOEFL/iBT lessons at the American University in Cairo. I have carefully read your project description and I strongly believe I can help you with this important editing/proofreading task. I have participated in a great number of creative writing, business writing, rewriting, proofreading, editing and copy-editing tasks for years. However, I'm positive that this job requires meticulous attention to detail as a professional copy editor should have broad experience in linguistics so that they can suggest better alternatives. I'm not only a copy editor but a former EFL teacher, as well—a fact that enables me to use the English language effectively and accurately. Furthermore, I understand completely that you need an expert in editing and proofreading—someone who won't just detect errors, but recast improperly written sentences and give constructive feedback and deliver the intended message. It'd be a pleasure to help you get this project perfectly done within deadline. I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects, but I usually keep copies of your documents 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, and one that incorporates all of the changes.

You've really piqued my curiosity. What in the world is a "non-fiction novel"? Novels by definition are works of fiction. In any case, while the bulk of my work has been in the business and academic fields, I have tidied up two novels and a collection of short stories and poetry. Overall, my clients have rehired me often and have awarded me 18 bonuses for the exceptional quality of my work.

Yes, my bid is higher than some, but if you send me a chapter of your book to edit for FREE, I think you will see why you should hire me. You will get tremendous value for your money. My method, developed over 38 years as an award-winning journalist and wordsmith, is to edit a book three times: First, to correct all errors and smooth out the rough edges; second, to add creative touches and suggest meaningful changes; third, to make sure in a final polish that the text flows flawlessly and connects most effectively with readers. All this takes extra time and extreme, compassionate focus. Among the books I've edited are a children's story, a self-help book, an entrepreneurial guide, two spirituality journals, thrillers set in Africa and the Mideast, and a young adult romance novel. Talk to you soon!
