I need an Editor for my 98K word book

$750-1500 USD

Completed
Posted over 2 years ago

$750-1500 USD

Paid on delivery
Goal: I'm new to this process and somewhat overwhelmed by the number of options. For the moment, I've ruled out self-publishing due a single comment summarizing the process, "you'll embarrass yourself...". I'd like someone to read my manuscript and tell me what it needs. Once the story is shaped up, I'd like help locating a literary agent. Book Details: Examining the wisdom and errors of the human heart, this is the story of two outcast yet profoundly gifted teens whose paths inadvertently cross. Despite differences in self-assurance, gender, and background, a friendship grows. Through great effort and a dash of good fortune, they begin to free each other from the grip of difficult pasts and begin to find meaning in their lives. However, a perceived slight leads to the introduction of a third teen. And while she has similar talent, she does not come from a dysfunctional family and therefore cannot comprehend the lasting scars of such a plight. Yet learning of their upbringing, she developers respect coupled with a strange envy. Eventually realizing her initial assessment was monumentally wrong, she attempts to circumvent her original goal.

Hello, I would love to edit your book for you. I'm a Native English-speaking proofreader and copy editor with more than 20 years of experience in a variety of genres, including academia, science, technology, medicine, law and fiction. I have edited many books and eBooks, several of them published. I’ve received many kudos on my level of customer service and professionalism and apply that attention to detail in all of my work. I really enjoy editing books as I'm an avid reader. I don't change the content as most authors don't want that, so I focus on word flow, syntax, consistency in characters and tenses, grammar, spelling, etc. I'd be glad to provide a sample of my work. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, Linda

I’m happy that I have your attention, even if it’s only for a little while, so I won’t waste your time…let’s get into it. I checked out the project info and I am really excited by what I read! Proofreading and editing can be a pain if it's not something you enjoy (unlike myself), so why not pass that chore along to somebody else? Do you need help improving the quality of your work? Well, I need to know more in order to give you a proper quote along with a specific timeline. This quote includes: - checking and editing the spelling and grammar - highlighting instances where the meaning is unclear with suggestions for improvement - highlighting passages where the writing could be improved and making edits (e.g. to make the text more concise) I will track the changes in a Word document so that you can easily see the revisions I have made, along with any comments, and I will also provide you with a clean, revised copy so that you can read through your amended document clearly. I read it all through with my own eyes and grammar-loving mind, so you can be sure that your work hasn't just been run through a spell-check (which can often miss things!) Please say “hello” or attach your requirements in the chatbox. Regards, Hailey

I am both a freelance writer/editor (although not usually of books) and a book publicist. You are absolutely correct not to choose the self-publishing option. In the end, you will spend more money and mostly receive nothing but a garage full of books you can't even convince your family to take. Publishing a book is a huge gamble either way, but at least you will know you did everything the professional way in the end. Bookstores, for the most part, won't allow self-published books on the shelves. Even many libraries shun them as donations. You do need good editing and someone who isn't afraid to tell you what's good and bad about the story before you try to shop it to agents (Yes, use an agent.). Hopefully, that agent will be rough on you too. I am not usually involved at that stage, but I do know people who can recommend good agents. I can start reading and editing tomorrow. Notes will come every day I read and edit. A final report will be given.
