Hi Kelly, Congratulations on your first children's book and for setting up your publishing company. Can we know approx how many words your manuscript is? Our bid amounts and time frame for your project will be guided by that. I am interested in being considered as your editor, as I have edited more than 100 books during my time on the Freelancer platform, including some children's books. I also attended a children's writing course and was a member of a children's writing critique group for six years. I wrote some stories myself but decided that being an editor is a better fit for me. Aside from that, I have had 12 years of copy editing experience. My usual rate is USD15 per 1,000 words. Further details about my background and qualifications are on my Freelancer profile page. I'd be happy to do a sample edit on a small part of your book (at no cost) to see if you like what I do.

Hi Kelly, I have over 25 years of experience in the areas of editing and proofreading ranging from formalized office writing to informal casual writing. As a native English speaker, I'm very proficient in English grammar, language, and spelling.. In order for you to easily see which words and phrases that I proofread and edit, I will deliver your work using MS Word's 'Tracked Changes.' This can be especially useful for non-native English speaking clients, as it can really help you to see your mistakes and improve your spoken and written English. Feel free to contact me and let me just handle your work with 100% efficiency and uniqueness. Cheers, Peter A.
