Proofread / Edit a Book

Completed Posted 5 years ago Paid on delivery
Completed Paid on delivery

I am writing my first novel, and I need to find someone to proofread and edit it. This is a sci-fi novel, hopefully one of a series, so I'd ideally like to find someone who is a fan of that genre. I'm interested in someone who has a little bit of experience with this, and has taken the skills tests to prove that he or she has an excellent understanding of the English language. The novel is approximately 55,000 words in length. I would be willing to forward one or two pages if necessary, to allow a bidder to see my style of writing. If I find the right person, who knows... we might be able to make this into an ongoing relationship as I write more novels, as that is my long-term plan. Thank you for looking, and I look forward to seeing your proposals.
