Hello, My name is Andretta and I am a professional editor and proofreader who in the last year has completed over 30 novels. My rate is usually $.005 per word however I have a deal for freelancers in hopes of gaining traction on the website. In the full edit you will receive not only the edit but the additional elements you requested. I do this with all of my edits to ensure that flow, structure, and plot are strong enough for publication. I am currently a freelancer editor as well as an editor for two different publishing houses, one located in Australia and one in the United States. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon. Best, Andretta

Hi, An experienced and skilled writer with impeccable grammar skill, strong visual awareness, and insists on spelling perfection, you can rest assured that anytime I edit, proofread, and analyze a document of any size it will be returned in tip-top shape and free from errors. Grammatical perfection is a necessity in a finished document, and I will analyze, modify, revise, and reword as necessary so you will be left with a superior finished product. I also do all my editing, proofing, and rewriting manually without the use of any online rewriting programs. When quality counts, contact me. Best regards, James Walpole

"Writers are a rare breed. They consistently and often feverishly create work so fart that endlessly delight and enthrall all who read them. Unfortunately, they due to their writing fever can often be in attentive to or contemptuous us of detail. So, their masterpieces often needs to be properly rewritten or edited due to factual errors or omissions, or to avoid offending the tender sensibilities of others, or just to add some new content deemed relevant. Proofreading of their works is also a must since even the best, most focused writers make mistakes in spelling, punctuation, grammar or word flow. This is where I come in and while respecting the works of the previous author, inimitably clean up, polish, correct and deliver the finished product. Regards, Nikola Mastilovic"

Hello, my name is San. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to edit your manuscript. Why choose me? Well, I am a trained book editor, experienced at everything from analysing structure and plot to proofreading. I have edited more than 60 books (fiction and non-fiction). In the past few days I have finalized two more. I will edit your entire manuscript personally, not just run it through editing software, break it up across a team or subcontract it out. My background is more than 20 years’ experience working full-time with (collectively) major national Australian newspapers and magazines, book publishers and two large government departments. I have also worked freelance for large corporations and small businesses as well as academics, authors, students and other individuals. Average reading speed is 5,000 words per hour. Editors can read faster but work more slowly (often much more slowly) when copy-editing, depending on the state of the manuscript. So, simply reading your manuscript would take more than 15 hours and for what you are seeking could take anywhere between 35 and more than 70 hours. For my bid I have allowed a week (of flexible number of working hours), and more than halved my weekly rate – because I prefer to work on projects I enjoy and I know authors fund their own editing . Please contact me to talk further about your genre, my cost, whether I can tell you more about my background/expertise, and to discuss how we can get your book moving.

Hello, My name is Cindy Calzone and your proofreading job sounds perfect for me. I am a stay-at-home freelancer who had to retire early and would welcome your project. As a proofreader and editor, my goal is to help authors reach their audiences and excite them with words, whether it be fiction or non-fiction. I provide the utmost attention to each and every client. Please check out my profile for experience, talent, and the testimonials customers have given me. I have proofread and edited 7 children's books, proofread, edited and did some content writing for a 201-page story, several novels/bios of a Christian nature, educational books, business-based books, graphic novel comic series (ongoing), websites, plus other novels of various genres such as romance, sci-fi, mystery, and fantasy. My pricing includes all proofreading and editing, grammar and punctuation, content writing and story flow. Price can be negotiated according to word count. I welcome a diversity of proofreading and editing. My clients on GURU and OUTSOURCE have been wonderful to me with their reviews, just look at my profile and testimonials. I am new to Freelancer so I have yet to put up my profile or build a reputation. I have just finished my first proofreading job with Freelancer with much success. I do require a milestone which is payment upfront (or at least half down) as a guarantee for me. Message me if interested in my services. Best regards, Cynthia Calzone
