Hi, my name is Andrew. I am a highly experienced academic writer, proofreader and editor. Please feel free to ask any questions or request samples of my work. I am also more than happy to edit a sample of the required manuscript for you. I am a member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders in the UK and I have particular skills in copy editing and typesetting articles ready for publication. I am currently copy editing two books ready for publication, along with producing the cover for these. I will upload samples, if required, of the 'before' and 'after' so you are aware of the work I produce. I can also provide links to books that I have been credited in and have already been published both as e-books and as hard copies. I have an impeccable eye for detail and always submit perfect work to the highest standard. I am fully proficient with all the relevant software and will always track changes. I will keep in constant communication and submit a tracked copy and a clean copy ready for publication in whatever format you prefer. Thank You.

Hello, I have extensive experience editing both professionally (I edit a long newsletter at my 9-5 job) and casually (having edited thousands of Wikipedia articles, many of which are officially recognized as among the top 0.1% of Wikipedia content). Typically, people pay $3-10 per manuscript page (defined as 250 words) to have their work subjected to "basic" copy editing. Thorough copy editing runs $10-20 per manuscript page. Since I find editing to be enjoyable, and am not depending on this site for income, I will offer $2/page for somewhere in between - I'll go over the text carefully, which should catch most errors and make it ready for publication, but won't subject it to extreme sentence-by-sentence scrutiny. Whether you go with my bid or not, be sure to select a native speaker (and not one from India - they speak very differently there) and be leery of low-ball offers (which likely do not understand the amount of work involved here - done well decently, we are talking about more than 100 hours of work). Thank you for your consideration, Thaddeus

I am a novelist and I work part-time for a publishing house as the communications manager for its creative writing school. I know how manuscripts need to be formatted to publishing houses. I am experienced at editing fiction and understand my role as editor is to get the manuscript as clearly written and organised as possible whilst respecting the author's intentions, style and genre. I can do tracked changes in MSWord so you can be in control of accepting or rejecting changes if you wish. I would like to discuss further your needs and expectations as there are different types of editing and I can provide all of them for my bid price. For example do you only want line editing of text and proof reading only or do you want substantive/structural editing as well (which means revising the material and its organisation where necessary?)

Hi. I've edited 3 books previously including "Personal Prophesy" by Steven Burns regarding correct protocol when delivering a prophetic message to individuals, "The Worms that Spoil the Fruit" by Joe Contaldi regarding spiritual corruption which can plague individuals and cause spiritual "fruit" (a person's character) to be tainted or lost, and "the Call and Technique of Witnessing" by Craig Freeman. I also have experience writing short-film scripts and plays. The scripts were for the most part competing in an annual international short-film competition ("Write of Passage"), and the sketches and plays are mainly humorous in nature and include "Yonz and Lonz" which is a take-off of the "Hanz and Franz" Saturday Night Live sketches of the 1980's.
