Kia ora! :)
(Is that right for a New Zealand greeting?)
My name is Jackie, and I would love to edit your book on transformation secrets. I'd also love to work with a Kiwi! (It's my dream to visit NZ one day.)
I am estimating that your book contains about 60,000 words if you have 200 pages, and that's the basis for my bid. I typically charge between $.01 and .025/word (USD), depending on how intensive the editing need is.
I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills and a hawk eye for detail. I also have a keen ear for voice, flow, and sentence structure. My passion is well-polished, great writing -- over the past year alone, I've edited more than twenty-five published works, including novels, nonfiction books, children's books, screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. My day job is editor of Roanoke Valley Family Magazine, and I have worked in the past as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing.
I'd be more than happy to edit a sample free of charge in order for you to determine whether I am a fit for your needs.
I've also helped several first-time authors through the process of self-publishing, so am happy to guide in that, too.
