Hello First off, please do not take my bid as a fixed figure. Editing rates are based on word count as that is the way I prefer to make a bid as it will let you know exactly what the cost will be from the onset. My rate for editing is £25.00/1,000 words of text. I am very familiar with the topic of Self Help, though it is quite a far-reaching and 'catchall' term that covers a great many facets. You will see from my profile that I am a highly experienced native British editor with only 5* ratings for over 1,000 completed editing and proofreading projects, all delivered 100% on time as I strive to provide reliability as well as quality work. I would welcome the opportunity of seeing your book and then discussing the project further with you as successful editing is very much a collaborative process. The editing process takes a little time as once the text has been amended, it woudl be returned to you for final approval, after which it would be given a final, separate proofreading which cannot be done until all writing has been completed. That proofreading is included in the fee and I woudl anticipate the whole process to be comfortably completed within a 14-day period, which I have made clear in my bid. Please ask if you have any questions. Kind Regards David Dundas

I'm detail oriented and eagle eyed, especially when it comes to proofreading for spelling, grammar, and punctuation using either American or British standards. I love helping writers to hone their work and elevate it to its highest potential. I will suggest changes to improve the clarity and flow of your text, but I work with a light hand to leave your distinctive voice and tone untouched.
