Greetings! I'm looking for skilled individual to do some developmental editing (you may have to re-write some parts) on my book. Although my book is an autobiography I've tried to write it in the form of fiction/novel style. Hence, I'm looking for someone who has an extensive experience in novel writing/editing. In another word, I'm looking for someone who could help me make this book a page-turner. The book will be only about 200 pages in length. I will ask you to do some sample editing on 2-4 pages of my manuscript so that I have a good idea of your writing style. Good luck!

I have extensive experience writing not mere;y novels but sagas that wrench emotions from the reader. Some 20-25 Fantasy and SF novels covering around 8 million words and hundreds of characters. If you need your story edited to best grab people then I'm the one to do it. My profile contains a couple of small samples from my books.

Hi, I am an American writer and I would love to hear more about your book. Having already co-authored a novel, I know how to blend writing styles. I also know how much you want this to be your work, so any help I would give you would be done for developmental and stylistic editing purposes, only. My bid is for thirty days, but this may vary. Thank you for the opportunity to bid on your project. Please check my portfolio for examples of my recent work.

I have a PhD in English literature with over 3 years of full-time English teaching experience, so I'm sure I'm the high-quality writer that you are looking for. I also have an independent Anaphora Literary Press, for which I've released over 60 titles, including one of my own self-illustrated children's books, "The Sloths and I", which was recently positively reviewed by the University of Wisconsin's children's librarian. I have published a few poetry collections and a couple of scholarly books. My new academic book for McFarland "Formulaic Writing within Genres" examines the formulas used in best-selling novels today, so I'm a great person to hire if you want an expert opinion on what will make your book stand out to readers and publishers. I've also written a couple of novels myself, though I haven't published one yet. I've just completed my first Freelancer assignment, and it received a very positive review. I take pride in my products and hope to do the best job possible for your project. My portfolio includes some of my projects. Sincerely, Anna Faktorovich, Ph.D.
