I just completed a 73K word novel titled "Big Business." The novel is a satire of the financial crisis with the protagonist moving up the corporate ladder of a major bank during the "great recession." I am looking for an experienced editor with a solid background in editing fiction novels. I would prefer someone who had a relative understanding of the financial markets since this book contains some business jargon pertaining to the crisis. But financial experience is not necessary. A resume along with some editing samples will be most appreciated.

Hi, I can do a really great job with editing your novel. I currently run my own editing business, 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 and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service for several years I have put in a fair but relatively low bid in order to be competitive on Freelancer, but please don't wonder if this will affect the quality of the work. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done to a high standard by your deadline or sooner. I have a lot of experience editing novels and non-fiction books. I followed the financial crisis closely from when it kicked off (in the UK at least) from 2009, and feel I have a good enough handle on the situation to edit your work (or will at least research when necessary). For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Check your novel for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity where necessary - Assist with plot structure, characterization and originality - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

Hi there! I would love to have the opportunity to edit your satirical novel. Why hire me? Many of the freelancers bidding on your project are probably writers who do some editing on the side, or proof-readers specializing in academic theses. However, I am a specialist manuscript editor, with the specific analytical and creative skills required for this painstaking and detail-oriented work. You can be sure that I will preserve your 'voice' and story, while polishing out any rough parts and really making your work shine. I have been awarded a preferred freelancer badge by Freelancer.com. In addition, my US and UK English language scores are both in the top 5%, testifying to my excellent command of the English language. This is what two of my recent clients had to say about my work: “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!” “Absolutely fantastic to work with! Great engagement and quality. All work and milestones completed ahead of expectation and to the highest quality. Strongly recommended for future work.” Thank you for considering my proposal. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you! Kind regards, Tracey

Hi, there! I have an excellent command over the English language and I am experienced in a wide variety of topics. I've got my Master Degree in English Literature 3 years ago and, since then, I constantly improve my knowledge in this area. Some of my most recent projects include the proofreading of a Master Thesis and an academic paper for an Australian company. I know I haven't completed too many similar projects, but these are relevant enough for you to see what I can do in this area. Besides checking for grammar and spelling mistakes, I also had to rephrase where needed, so I am highly versatile when it comes to this particular job. You can check my clients' feedback in my profile. This being said, hope to hear from you soon, even if for a small chat to clarify certain aspects. It will help you determine whether I am fit for the job or not and I incline to say that I am :). I am on the lookout for long term commitments as well, so this may turn out to be a beautiful collaboration, since I am a fun and sociable guy and I am online 24/7. I hope you are interested in my services, because I am up for a small test including the proofread of 2 or 3 pages. Cheers! :D

Howdy! I am the lead editor for Montag Press Collective. I have edited over twelve full-length novels, specializing in historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. I have a strong stomach for controversial content, yet also a taste for the finer points of literature. I am currently between projects and looking to try something different. I am particularly interested in your project because I majored in Environmental Policy Analysis and Planning, which included several economics courses. While I'm not the most up-to-speed person to ask on financial markets, I should be able to follow the jargon as well as point out places where even intelligent readers might get lost. One unique thing about the way I work is that I have a computer program that reads aloud to me. Listening to the text while I work allows me to catch many things that other editors might miss. I can easily catch and correct words that look alike, but have one letter difference. I’ll also put the ç in your façade and the é in your fiancé/fiancée. Please let me know if you have any questions for me! Due to ongoing (flexible) commitments with Montag Press, I will be logging in to check messages once a day and I will get back to you if I’m not currently online. We’re also offering free books in exchange for video reviews if you are so inclined. Mara Hodges, Books Worth Burning

Hi, There are 3 editors on my team and we have discussed that we would all like to take a look at your novel. We believe that having 3 edits is better than one. It provides a quality edit and then there are 3 pairs of eyes looking just in case something is missed. if you have any questions shoot me a message. We would really like to start as soon as possible for you.
