Hi, I am a professional editor and proofreader with experience in a variety of genres. I am a native speaker of English and my spelling, punctuation and grammar skills are excellent. I also have a degree in English Literature, which has given me the skills to study the content for things like inconsistencies, gaps in the plot, character development etc. I would use the track changes feature in Word so you can see any adjustments made. Editing is something that I really enjoy doing, it doesn't feel like a job! Please see my feedback and contact me if you would like any more information. Best regards, Georgina.

I am a professional editor and proofreader and have done work for major publishers such as Houghton Mifflin and McGraw-Hill. I've also worked as Senior Editor for Capstone Press. I'm usually the "last eyes" before final publication. Most of my work has been in YA literature. In addition, my master's thesis in English Studies focused on two fantasy novels: Kindred by Octavia Butler and A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr. I'm sure you would be pleased with my work.

HI Jessie! I read your description and felt you were writing personally to me! Fantasy and young adult novels are my favorite to read and I have a very keen eye for inconsistencies (sometimes to my personal detriment). I have an M.A. in Linguistics from the University of Iowa and since 2002 I have worked as a university lecturer, a tutor, a teacher, a translator and a proofreader. Therefore, I have many years' experience reading and correcting others' writing and making suggestions for improvement. Although there is a German flag next to my name, this is because I live in Germany. I am from the United States and American English is my native language. I hope you'll consider me for this project! Yours faithfully, Leah Marie Wipf

Bid price and time taken are negotiable depending on the length of the writing. I can easily proofread this, and enjoy the genre enough to keep me interested.

My experience lies mostly in writing, as I have worked in both academic, as well as the creative field of writing; in addition, I believe I would be able to deliver this project in a very short amount of time. On top of that, I am a great fan of fiction, and therefore would also enjoy participating in a project like this. My stories have been published in many collections, I am a winner of many creative writing competitions and I also have a short book published as a winner of a contest. Given that I am new at this website, I have not yet taken any of the tests that confirm my English or writing level. However, I am willing to send you samples of whichever type of work you believe you would need, or do some sample work for you before being awarded the project. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me anytime. I will most certainly reply as promptly as possible. Regards, Marija

I can proofread and edit for you both quickly and accurately; I am currently working as an editor for Toxic Magazine and for a small business run by another freelancer on this site, but am looking for a side job or two. I have an excellent understanding of the English language as well as a precise attention to detail that allows me to spot errors and problem areas very efficiently. I operate with a professional attitude and would love to work for you. If you would like an example of my work, I can edit up to 1,000 words for you free of charge. Thanks for your consideration.

Hello, ma'am. It's my pleasure to bid here. I love reading novels so much and, yes, I always catch mistakes while reading as I'm meticulous and pay attention to details. I'm also the kind of editor you are looking for. I'm so excited about reading your novel giving it the final touch on. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi there Jessiebouie, thanks for considering my proposal, I can do your proofreading for you, within the time frame and on budget ( I have estimated 30 days as I do not know the size of your novel). I have had years of experience writing and have proofread a large number of documents and papers. I would love to work with you on your novel. Please review my profile to help you in your decision. Kindly yours, Michael.

Without knowing more of the details (such as word/page count) it's difficult to provide an accurate editing fee, though $250 would cover anything under 150k words and I seriously doubt your YA friendly novel would exceed that. I'm perfectly willing to negotiate the fee once I know more about the project. That being said, I'm an experienced writer/editor with a Bachelor's in Creative Writing for Entertainment, and have experience in press, games, short fiction, comics, and novels.
