Hello there!
I am Lori, and I have been a writer/editor for 25+ years. I have mostly been editing books lately, and I have 3 novels getting published right now. So, I am a successful editor, and I also help my writers find an agent, write query letters, etc. I am a perfectionist at heart and edit naturally as I read. However, I also see the big picture, and make suggestions for changes that make the novel more readable and even more exciting! I always divide novels into sections, editing one section at a time, sending it to you for review and comments. That way you are involved in any changes and approve of them. I will communicate regularly, and there will be no questions as to what I am doing as you will be directly involved.
I would only need 5 days maximum to do this, and will only be working on your book and nothing else. Feel confident in my abilities and professionalism, you will not be disappointed. Also, I do all the work myself and do not contract out to anyone else. Your editor needs to be in direct communication with you, so awarding your job to a service with high numbers and lower completion rates will not be ideal for you. You need 1 person, and I hope I am her!
Hope to talk soon,
My Best-
Lori
