Hi There, I wrote a 60k-words adventure story set in late medieval Europe (1492 Germany). It is planed to go out as e-book and will have more parts to come. After four drafts written over 6 months, I now need somebody to: - Research / Fact check of historical details (not political nobility stuff but rather daily life of normal people) - Add historical flavour in wording / grammar if agreeable (like temporary correct measures, units, etc.) - Look at the story as a whole (structural editing) - Finally copy edit - Formatting for kindle & co publishing I am aware this is a tall order for one person and I am fine to split into different projects as needed. One will need (in that order): - Know how of the time period (this is NOT a princess-king-story but rather a story that calls for somebody who likes medieval craft, art, cooking, healing, myths, travelling, spirituality etc.) - Understanding of dogs (one character is a dog) - Experience in editing

I am capable of taking your manuscript through the processes of research, editing, interior layout, cover design, and formatting for e-book. All of these are parts of my normal business activities. I am slightly familiar with German and would certainly appreciate the time period. I understand dogs. Quality work and good service are very important to me. I can work by a quoted flat fee if you prefer. All my clients are satisfied!

Hello, i know i will do this project perfectly. I have my own published novels "The Marijuana Theory" by a NY Publisher and "SoulLine-Return of the Gods" in co-authorship as self-published, you can check that easily. So, i know exactly what you need, every small detail and also i did on my own all the formatting of the book for Amazon both as ebook and paperback. It will be pure joy for me to work over your project and i know i will give 100% commitment. I have experience with writing with another person as you can see from my co-authorship project. History is my passion and now i am doing my own researches as my new novel takes place in the past. Instead of praising myself i will show you what i can do if i`m your choice. If not, good luck with the project and hope you will find the best man for the job. Regards, David

Hi! I am currently an MFA student and a high school English teacher. I hold a minor in the social sciences, focusing in history and sociology. As such, I not only have an impeccable eye for grammar, spelling, flow and structure- I am also adept in historical and sociological research and can make sure your book retains its integrity while keeping it factually accurate. I am more than happy to engage in-depth in research and to consult you on any edits. Please let me know if you would like me to perform a sample edit. Thanks! Lisa
