Good morning, I am a former journalist and marketing specialist with more than fifteen years of experience writing, editing and proofreading. As a freelancer, I have edited the gamut of material, from academic papers to cookbooks, as well as an extensive range of genres, from non-fiction to contemporary and young adult fiction. While I am from the US, I have edited many projects with UK English. In my opinion, there are few things more frustrating than reading a great book that has grammar issues. The writer in me is disappointed knowing how much work goes into a novel; my editor self rails at the manuscript's proofreader for allowing mistakes to slip through. It is an honor, but a considerable responsibility, to be trusted to smooth out a manuscript that an author has worked so hard to generate. My peers and coworkers appreciate my candor and honest feedback in any given situation. The perfectionist in me ensures no problems slip under the radar. When one combines these qualities with how much I enjoy fixing grammar and punctuation issues, I am an editorial force to be reckoned with. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or would like to see any examples of my editing. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time and consideration, Mariah Patterson

Hello! As a professional freelance writer and editor, I would be delighted to review your novel. I specialise in proofreading and editing fiction and non-fiction books, marketing materials and anything else that needs a thorough review. I am well-versed in UK and US English. I have worked with an author for more than a year on her young adult vampire romance adventure series, and I will begin work on the second book in her young adult werewolf series in January 2014. I have a meticulous eye for detail. I will check your novel for any spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors. I will also leave comments should I find any story inconsistencies, flow issues etc. I track all corrections and comments in Word. Before beginning your project, I would love to see a sample of your writing to get a feel for your style and to see how much work needs to be done. I generally review a section and make the corrections. Once the author reviews my work and makes any additional changes, I will do a final proof read to ensure an error-free novel. Please feel free to visit my profile and positive feedback. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Kind regards, Kathryn Calvert

Hello, I am extremely interested in completing this project for you. I'm not going to promise you the earth, just all the skills, education and experience from over 25 years of writing and editing documentation for a wide variety of disciplines and genre. I have a keen eye for detail and the ability to not only spot any inconsistencies in your text but to correct them as well. Irrespective of whatever type of documentation, topic or genre I can guarantee you top quality work from a professional Writer/Documentation Consultant, excellent communication and above all value for your money. I firmly believe that an editor’s role is not only to make sure the content is structured correctly and grammatically correct but to also ensure that the edited content is consistent in capturing the author's thoughts and ideas for their intended audience. To date with my freelancing career I have created/edited in excess of 50 books that covered a wide variety of subject matter for my clients. I also published them on Kindle, Create Space and Lulu on behalf of my clients. To ensure that your fantasy book not only meets your criteria but also the professional standards I work to I estimate that I can complete the project within the timescales you require. If you care to review my Freelancer profile and the comments of my previous Freelancer clients then you will see that I can adequately meet your requirements. You can contact me at any time to discuss your project. Regards Jim Moore

Hello-- I'm a professional editor with several years of experience at a US publishing company where I've assisted many writers in perfecting their work for publication. I work quickly without sacrificing quality and would love to help you complete this fantasy novel. I'm a huge fan of children's literature and fantasy, so I would truly love to work with you on this. Along with general editing and catching typos and so on, I'll be focusing on sentence writing as well as big picture aspects, like narrative and characters. It's useful to think of the narrative structure as the skeleton, with characters being the organs, and the sentences being the skin. The most important aspect is narrative structure and then characters. You can get away with poor sentences, but elevating them to the right level can be the difference between a beautiful package and a crumpled up mess. With the sentences, I'll assist you in creating dynamic and clear language suited for the age group but also interesting for them. This can be more challenging than most people expect, and is what makes writing so difficult. From there, I'll focus on narrative and characters, helping you catch inconsistencies and so on. It sounds like you have a pretty clear vision and I would love to help you get there. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you, --eddy

Hi, I really hope I'm the editor you're looking for! Your project sounds brilliant. I'm a senior editor on a national newspaper in the UK, and rewriting copy of all styles and standards is my specialty. I've many years' experience of proofreading and working with authors, ensuring they get the very best from their text. Recently I proofread/copyedited a major, high-profile book by a political writer called Iain Macwhirter. It was a TV tie-in and the deadline was really tight. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Road-To-Referendum-Iain-Macwhirter-ebook/dp/B00DAJ7JMK/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1384535569&sr=1-1 Why the jump from Scottish politics to children's fiction? Well, I have five children! Aged from 2 to 15 and I'm an expert in children's stories, reading and telling them - we have a vast children's library here and I'm certain my experience and passion for telling stories will be of enormous benefit. I've also edited displays targeted for children at a national museum, and I've written guides and lectured on writing for specific audiences, including young people. Oh, I also scripted the interactive displays. As well as guaranteeing your work will be well written, with an accessible, free-flowing style, I can also promise it will contain no spelling, grammar or punctuation mistakes. Lastly, I'm an expert at InDesign and Word, and I can lay your book out beautifully in a pdf, or create it as a mobi file for Kindle. Hope to hear from you, Colin

While my bid is higher than most of the others for this project, please consider the following. I fear some of the bids are not serious and do not understand your needs or the task required of them. I have done extensive copy editing throughout my career as a journalist. While I am able to work quickly, your project requires both copy editing and copy writing which requires additional time and consideration. The tight timeline for completing this large project adds an additional dimension to completing this work. A balance must be struck between providing the best quality editing and writing with meeting your completion target and getting the book finished in time for the holiday season. My timeline is based on working through roughly 1000 words an hour. This is a generous pace for substantial editing but I am confident I can maintain this pace while still providing exceptional editing services based on the fact the content is aimed at a young audience and will not be as complicated as other materials I have edited. If the manuscript is delivered by the end of the week, or I begin editing the completed pages ASAP, the edited manuscript would be delivered back to you the first week of December. In addition to my journalism writing, I am also a fiction writer and familiar with character development, story arcs, plot development and other techniques of fiction writing. I hope we can discuss your needs in greater detail and wish you the best of luck in completing your project.

Thank you for the chance to bid on your project. As a former middle school teacher I understand the importance of presenting a clear and error free product to this age group. I would be happy to read and edit your novel for grammatical, spelling, and story consistency and flow. In my teaching career I often proofread student work and helped them put their ideas in a more logical order. I will read your novel several times and iron out any mistakes that it may contain. I will use storyboards and flowcharts to ensure that your novel is flowing in a logical manner and that no inconsistencies exist within the work. Please feel free to contact me to further discuss your project. Thanks, Joseph Hearington
