Hi,
I can do a really great job with your editing. I currently run my own editing business in the UK where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years.
Some details about me:
- Native English speaker
- BA, MA, CELTA qualified
- Published novelist, short story writer and poet
- Current editing and proof reading service in the UK for several years
What is the word count of your book, please? We would have to discuss your exact requirements before we agree on a budget and duration for the project.
My usual fees for editing are around £10 per 1,000 words, but for larger texts like novels this can be cost-prohibitive and so I use a sliding scale. I've edited novels via Freelancer before with some great reviews, which you can read on my profile. One was 80,000 words with a fee of £160, and another was 100,000 words with a fee of £280.
Freelancer's T&Cs ask that we use the website chat function rather than e-mail, so please get in touch when you can to talk it over, and I'm sure we can come to an agreement.
I will:
- Check your novel for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors
- Give feedback on structure, plot and characterisation
- Work to your specifications and deadlines
I'll also guide you through how the website works to make things easy for you.
Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you.
