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

Editing, modifying, and rewriting are a tremendous piece of what I do everyday . Each written work task I go up against must be syntactically right and looked over for any conceivable mix-ups. I don't acknowledge or submit less than impressive work. Actually, anything that needs amendment is sent back to me to be changed until it is prefect. I have superb relational abilities and effectively take careful guidelines, guaranteeing that our customers are constantly happy with the nature of our work.

Hi, I really like the sound of your story. I especially like the metaphor of trimming the hedge between the two women as they discover more of what connects them. I would love to help with the editing. Although I lived in Canada and wasn't directly affected by the war - I do remember that time period. I am a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience outside of this site - writing, editing, teaching creative writing and doing manuscript consultations. I would use track changes and comments alongside the text and write up a separate letter with my suggestions. Please see my reviews and portfolio on my profile page. Thank you.
