Hi, I am looking for a content editor for a book I wrote. It is an urban fantasy novel that is the first in a trilogy. I have self published it already, but I will be revising it and changing some things and republishing it. It's called Room 22, and the book description can be found on Amazon if needed. I am looking for someone who has done content editing for a couple of books before, but my budget is very tight. I will need the second and third book edited as well, so if I like what you do, I will hire you again for the second two with a slightly higher budget. I really just need suggestions on ways to improve the overall plot, style, and character development. I would also like for the revised version to be longer than the original, so I will need suggestions on what can be expanded upon to increase the length. As of now, the book is a little over 30,000 words. I look forward to working with whoever takes on this project.

Hello, My name is Stephanie and I am a London born proofreader / copyeditor and writer with vast experience in this field. In addition to being a competent proofreader with a keen eye for detail, I have worked for many years as a paralegal/proofreader for some of the top firms in London, which has stood me in good stead for work of this nature. Although I have not been freelancing on this particular site for long, I work with many private clients and on other freelancing websites. I have worked with many wonderful people on many different genres of novel and business books. One of my most recent assignments was with Robert G. Allen who has several #1 bestselling business books in the US. My preference for prooofreading is novels of any type and I have sent myself a goal this year to read 100 books, regardless of their nature. With my freelance work this is affording me a great opportunity to achieve this, so it is a win-win for every project I undertake. I will proofread your fantasy novel and check it for spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure to ensure that the language flows correctly to assist the reader. I work with track changes in word and on onclusion provide you with two documents, one tracked, the other a completed manuscript. I can offer formatting for publishing as an additional service. I am readily available and can assure you of a first class service and look forward to working with you on this project. With kind regards Stephanie

Like attracts like. Creativity draws creativity. You've proved you have a creative side. That's where I come in. As an editor with 37 years of experience, I have sharpened to a high degree my ability to choose the most scintillating words to make anyone's writing stand out above the rest. Imagery, imaginative phrasing, and creative insights are my hallmark for helping writers rise to the top. I recently completed editing four books -- a children's book, a self-help book, an illustrated handbook aimed at the entrepreneurial crowd, and a personal journal about spirituality. I have a gift for making dialogue resonate with readers, and my keen eye for accurate characterization is highly developed. I would love to help you with your project. Talk to you soon!

Hey! I like work. It fascinates me. I sit and look at it for hours. Just Kidding! I see that you have some editing needs. Well, turns out I'm going to take a break from my studio session (Yes! I'm working on an album) and help you right up! If you let me, that is. I'm a trained ableton instructor and a music producer/DJ. Consider me for your projects! Happy to help :) Roguish

Good day, I've taken a look at the summary of your book on Amazon and it does sound very interesting. Also, congrats on a published book at such a young age! I've intentionally set my timeline much longer than the other bidders. First off, I want to ensure that I'm not skim reading your book and give it the proper attention it deserves. I do not believe a project such as this can be done effectively in a week or two. Secondly, my intention is to also get my wife to read it so I can provide you with both a male and a female opinion (this will potentially increase your audience demographic) regarding any areas that may need expansion or further character development. I have not done content editing before, but I have taught both high school and college for approximately 8 years and very familiar with the importance of ensuring the message (or story) flows in both a natural and smooth fashion. Currently, I write detailed reports on a daily basis that require a strong attention to detail. I believe the combination of this set of skills would be beneficial to this project. Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message.

Hello! I am an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher and private tutor in Bucharest, Romania. As a consequence, I not only have full command of both English Grammar and Punctuation, but also a very wide vocabulary and understanding of all expressions and colloquialisms. Being a teacher has also trained me in spotting and editing out or correcting all mistakes in a paper/literary work, and if that is not enough, I have edited numerous works (mainly articles and short e-books) for my professional and academic acquaintances - including university professors. I also possess a CPE (Cambridge Proficiency Examination), the highest level of qualification offered by The University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations. I am a very efficient worker, and will deliver the highest-quality product in as little time as possible, this being based off of positive feedback I have received from ISRA, a market research company, where I have been working as a translator/interpreter/transcriber – as needed – for the past five months. My interest in this project consists mainly of my confidence in my ability to reach full and above satisfactory completion of this task, given my experience and level of knowledge. I look forward to a successful and advantageous collaboration with you. Thank you, Maria Tureschi

I have an editing and proofreading certificate, experience with content editing, and a love of reading that means I also have a solid understanding of what makes a story that extra bit special. Your story sounds fascinating - if I found the right one on Amazon - and with the mental hospital setting it sounds like there's plenty of room for depth and intrigue. I love the idea of exploring these characters, and asking the questions that allow you to bring them to life. If you are interested in working together, I will complete a free sample edit for you to give you a better idea of what you'll be paying for. If you'd like to discuss further you can contact me here or via email: krystallee6363 at gmail.com. Best of luck with your writing!

Hello there! I'm bidding on your project because I have a unique skill set I believe will help you write a better novel. Aside from being an avid reader of urban fantasy, I worked for four years as the editor-in-chief of the dark fiction magazine, Midnight Screaming, which published writers such as Julia Rios, Jackie Gamber, and M. Keaton. More recently, I've edited a few books for php[architect] including Integrating Web Services with OAuth and PHP by Matthew Frost. I just finished working on a book for developer, writer, and speaker Cal Evans. I know you were interested in a sample, and I always do a free sample page (300ish words) for new potential clients.
