Hi there. I would love to work with you to round-out and polish your manuscript. Here's a little background information about me: I am a native English speaking professional proofreader, with excellent editing skills and a strong administrative background. I have edited full-length novels, multiple eBooks, company brochures, many items of business correspondence, etc. Some recent comments from my clients: “Such a skilled and professional editor - really knows her stuff! Her comments were/are extremely helpful to my novel. Communication and timeliness of the deliverable were also above expectations. I would like to work with her again!” “She is amazing! She's personable, hard working and incredibly knowledgeable about proofreading/editing. I hope to hire her numerous times in the future. Hire her!” I have lived and worked all over the world, and bring this global perspective to my editing projects. You can safely entrust your project to me, knowing that I am a Freelancer.com 'preferred freelancer.' Also, if you review my English language test scores, you will see that I have an excellent command of both US and UK English. Thank you for considering my proposal - I would love to have the opportunity to work with you!

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. 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 the pure enjoyment I have in fixing grammar and punctuation issues, you will find that I am an editorial powerhouse. 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

I am currently in the process of publishing my own fictional/fantasy novel and have been in the editing process many times. I know how important it is to make sure the story flows, that character traits remain consistent, and that each scene brings the right picture into the readers mind as they read it. I would be so happy to help you edit your book, as one potential fiction/fantasy author to another. I appreciate your consideration.
