Sci-Fi is my all-time favorite genre so I believe I would be a good fit for this job. I have been an editor and proofreader for ten years. During this time, I have edited thousands of books, websites, scripts, and thesis papers. Please see my reviews and exam scores on freelancer.com/u/hepzi.html

Hi, I would love to work on this project. My price depends on the length of your book. For up to 50,000 words, I charge around 140 GBP. How long is the first part of your book? I have a range of editing experience, having worked for a number of websites and publications. I have served as an Editorial Assistant for the World Policy Journal and a Senior Editor for the Journal of Diplomacy. For both of these I conducted extensive editing and proofreading. I have completed a number of similar book editing projects here on Freelancer, for which you can see 5* feedback on my profile. I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Richard

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. Dav

Hello, I am an editor and author. I'd love to edit you book! The genres I specialize in are fantasy, science fiction and horror. Past projects include novels, short stories, children's books, plays, and video game scripts. I usually make edits with Microsoft Word Track Changes. This allows you to see what exactly has been changed and gives you the ability to ultimately decide whether to accept or reject each change. I also use the comments feature to highlight any area I want to make a note or comment on, which can all be deleted afterwards. I have worked in British English before, so differences in spelling, etc. are not problematic. I'd be happy to provide feedback and edits based only on things like plot and characters if that is what you're interested in, or provide additional edits for things like punctuation, grammar, etc. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to contact me. Warm Regards, Kathleen Price

Hi, I am a professional freelance proofreader looking to establish myself on this site. Editing is my passion and nothing is more rewarding to me than working closely with a fellow author to ready their manuscript for publication. I am thorough, meticulous and honest with a keen eye for detail. My speciality is polishing up creative writing, giving in-depth critique, amending issues with grammar/ plotting/ flow and making helpful suggestions whilst still ensuring the author's voice is most prominent. I am a big fan of both sci fi and fantasy and I especially love the works of Phillip K Dick and Clive Barker. I would love to work with you on your novel and eagerly await your response. I am more than willing to look through a chapter of your work and give free feedback just to show you what kind of editor I am before you make any decisions. You're welcome to send me a private message if you have any inquiries about my services. Thank you kindly, Alanna Gardner

Hi there! My name is Nathan, and I am a freelance writer-editor and proofreader based in Toronto, Canada. As someone who has plenty of experience in editing fiction (and I especially enjoy sci-fi!), I would be happy to help you out. My editing process is simple: I will take your work, read it over once completely, then perform two passes of editing. If you like, you can send me a sample of your work and I will perform an edit on that section for no charge at all, so you can see firsthand whether I am the right fit for your project. If you are interested in what I have to offer, just let me know and I will be happy to get started! Sincerely, - Nathan Christie

To Whom It May Concern, I feel like I would be perfect for this position. I love fantasy/sci-fi novels so I'd love to see the work you've done! I am Australian and English is my first language and I pride myself in my attention to detail and proofreading. I understand that my rate is a bit higher other people that may be applying for this job, however, I have a large amount of experience proof reading and I can complete this project and future work for you much quicker than average. I hope that you will consider me for this role. Kind Regards, Sara

hello, It is always difficult with your first book, trusting yourself and being sure that what you have in type is ready for print. I can help you with editing and can give you the pointers you need for publishing. here is how my service would work. I would study the book and make a seperate document of suggested changes. It may be that charectors need expanded on or the dialogue needs to be fine tuned. If there are errors then I will find them Get in touch via freelancer msnger and we can discuss the book so that I can give you an accurate quote. John

I am a lover of books. Fantasy is a genre I enjoy and I have read the likes of J. R. R. Tolkien, George R.R. Martin, J K Rowling and Christopher Paolini. I am well aware of what readers look for in the genre of Fantasy - a gripping and crisp narration of the story yet keeping it engrossing and elaborate at the same time. The task is not easy, but I know what I am going to undertake and shall deliver a confident result.
