Edit 2 Chapters of Superhero Academy

Contest Brief

Hi Freelancers: I am in the final stages of finishing the first of three books. They are already written an I have spending that last few months really pouring through them to make sure things say what I need them to say. I am looking for one person with an authentic voice similar to my own but not afraid to suggest changes if something doesn't sound right or could sound better.

Included in this contest are two chapters for editing: I am not just looking for a copyline editor at this point. I need the full Monty as listed below. Whoever wins this contest will most likely be hired to edit all three books because I want the structure to be the same.

1. Structural Editing
Please pay attention to how the narrative is put together in terms of reader engagement and clarity of message by interrogating the content and analysing the overall flow. Among other aspects, consistency, voice, and clarity,
2. Stylistic Editing
Please pay attention to language and word choice;
Change any unnecessarily complicated wording and make it simpler.
3. Copyediting
Please pay attention to consistency of:
Editorial style; Accuracy and consistency of information given;
Correct usage of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

* I understand that structural editing would go better with an the entire manuscript, we're both not ready for that yet. Win this contest and you'll get all the manuscript you can handle. Fair well Freelancer.
* I will NOT seal this contest.Screw paying 30 extra dollars so people can't view your submission. If you can't submit your own version of editing without peeping at someone else's then you don't deserve to be a Freelancers. I want YOUR best version of the work please, don't copy of another freelancer. I need your authentic voice.

    i would really like to prepare a submission for you, but I won't be able to in the time provided. If you haven't already found the editor you're looking for, you should consider extending the contest by a couple days.

    I am not asking for your opinion of whether it could work or not. I am looking for the editor who is so bad that they know they could make it work. If this is not you then don't waste your time. I will entertain ANY rewrites but I will NOT entertain getting rid of the philosophy all together or the fiction. They will both be integral parts of this world. Your job if you care to edit this entire book is to make those two work together. Now who is up for this challenge.

    Hey everyone thank you for your submissions so far. When you look at my chapter of the Power of a System you will see two things; Fiction and Nonfiction. My entire book will be this way in ways I can't really explain but only to the winner of this contest. I am NOT taking out the philosophy just because its heavy and some people may not want to read it. If they don't want to read it tough, the book is about health but there is a twist on it, (lacing fiction with nonfiction) to kind of make the medicine go down if you will. With this being said if you can't find a way to juxtapose the two, make my fiction sing but also make the nonfiction sound just as interesting and not as heavy then you are not the editor I am looking for. I understand if you've never seen this before or you're not certain it will work.

    Hey Freelancers. Just wanted to give some guidance on what I am looking for right now. I am looking for one editor that can do the full spectrum of editing for my entire series of books. The books will use about six different tones, annotated of course but six different ones nonetheless. In order to choose this person I need a complete edit of the two chapters I've attached to the contest. Not a light edit, not a give you a taste of what I an do edit. A FULL complete edit according to what I asked in the contest description. If the edit is not full I have no way of really determining if you are a right fit for this job so I won't even consider it. Besides the chapters are fairly short so please don't submit partial edits. They won't be considered. Thank you.

    My sincere apologies Freelancers, I don't know what I was thinking uploading PDF's knowing full well they are hard to work with. Thank you Peter for bring this to my awareness. You'll be pleased to know that I have just uploaded two Word Doc version of the chapters to be edited.
