Book editing

Pagado a la entrega
I have written a self-development book over the last 10 years. It is about 250 pages and has been read by at least 10 intelligent people (including 2 English professors). The manuscript is pretty clean, but I need a professional book editor to finalize it. I would expect no more than one edit per page on average. I don't have a set budget - I need a solid, experienced book editor and I will pay what it takes to get it done with high quality. The editor must be well-versed in endnotes, as the book is extensively referenced. The manuscript is ready now. It must be completed by August.

Hi, I can do a really great job with editing your self development book. I currently run my own editing business in the UK 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. Via Freelancer I've edited many non-fiction books, including extensively referenced ones, with many rave reviews (visible on my profile page). Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA, MA, CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service in the UK for several years I have put in a fairly 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 by your August deadline or sooner. I will: - Check your book for any remaining spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity where necessary - Assist with structure and graphology/layout if appropriate - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

Based on my experience of Freelancer, which is still relatively recent, you will not find any full time professional editors on the platform. The fees charged by specialists in this area tend to be much greater than most Freelancer employers are prepared to pay. My own background is in teaching, and I have undertaken a very significant amount of editing work this year, with assignments including, for example, copy editing of The Great Oversight, for instance, a splendid first novel by the Nigerian - English author Daniel Emejulu. I can provide you with a sample of my work for you to look at. In terms of my editing style, I tend to be quite interventionist and exacting, when it comes to correcting matters of style and ensuring clarity, which may not be quite what you are looking for, based on your proposal. However, because of my professional background, I do have considerable experience and knowledge of books in the area of self-development. I have a PhD from Cambridge University, so am naturally completely fluent with issues of referencing. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you think I might be able to be of help to you in this venture. I would be more than happy to undertake a test edit of a section of your writing if that would assist you in your selection process.

Hi As I understand, you need an editor who has the ability to edit and proofread your manuscript. I'm interested to get the job as I’m an experienced editor. I’ve been working in editing line for more than 20 years. I took graduation and master degree on Journalism and M Phil on English Studies. So I know it very well how to edit and improve a write-up. At Freelancer, I’ve also completed several editing, proofreading and rewriting projects. You can see samples of my editing works in my portfolio. At present I’m attached with FAZA Editing House. You can visit the website and see samples of different categories of books I've edited. If you offer me the job, I’ll charge you only $277, and on a settled time, I’ll deliver your manuscript edited. I hope you will find me suitable for your work. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks SM Saifuddin

I have spent two years working as a copywriter in New York City, where I follow the AP style grammar guidelines. After proofreading and editing copy in an agency, I think I would be an excellent candidate to proofread your book.

Hello! Allow me to be the editor of your manuscript. I have a degree in English Lit. and Philosophy and have extensive amounts of experience in writing, proofreading, and editing academic papers. I'm the type of person that can't read a book without adding notes and suggestions along the margins, purely out of habit. I'm a person of simplicity and will declutter any forms of redundancy/wordiness. You can rely on me to let you know of any inconsistencies in your writing, as well as anything that detracts from the original message of the manuscript. I hope that you may consider me to be your editor. Thanks!

Congratulations on your book! It will be exciting to finally see your work in print. After I take a thorough look, your book will be polished and ready to go. I noticed you mentioned several endnotes. That should not be a problem. I will make sure the formatting is correct, and the information from the endnote matches what is in the text. I have edited books, anthologies, professional articles, and I edit for a local and online magazine. I follow the AP guidelines, so your work will be crisp and clean once the final edit has taken place. I edit in layers to ensure the whole book is combed through from beginning to end. It sounds like you only want a light copy edit, which makes sense since you've had so many eyes reviewing it over the years. While that will be my focus, if anything else jumps out at me, I will at least make you aware. I believe in putting out a quality product, and I cannot, in good conscience, leave any ares of concern unaddressed. Feel free to contact me to discuss any further details.
