Hello I am looking for someone to: • edit and proof a 14289 word eBook to be sold on Amazon. • have copy writing skills to make the book description sound engaging and compelling that will result in the customer buying the book. Requirements - Must be an English native speaker from USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or UK - Must be able to meet deadlines - Formatting to be improved - Spell check has already been done using “Microsoft Word” and “Grammarly”. However a final check needs to be done. - Improve sentence structure and flow. Rephrase wording if required. - Ensure copy has a consistent “voice” and style - Bring to life dull, drab copy for improved sales appeal – make it sound better! - The book description is essentially the ‘sales letter’ or ‘sales pitch’ to entice the customer to buy the eBook. Therefore you'll need to write or edit the existing copy to make the description sound interesting and engaging to compel the customer to buy the eBook. Additional Information - The eBook is 14289 words - The eBook description is 584 words - The eBook is a non-fictional step by step guide to improving conversational skills and forming genuine relationships and it includes exercises. - It has 9 chapters, including a FAQ chapter; an appendix and bibliography - It is intentionally written in a conversational tone - In your bid for this job please reply with the phrase Happy Friday to ensure you have read through this job description. - If you desire, your name will be listed as editor when it’s published so you can build credibility. Please include relevant samples of your work; time to complete the job and your fixed cost for this job. A sample of the eBook can be provided if you are shortlisted. Thank you for your time and interest.

It would be a Happy Friday for me if you find me worthy of tackling your book project. My 37 years as a journalist, mostly as a copy editor, and my 15 years as a proofreader of books for a major typesetting house both qualify me for your project, as does the fact that I have edited books for two published authors. Attention to detail is my forte. For me, every word counts. Also, I interviewed such jazz greats as Dave Brubeck, Bob James, Diane Schuur, and Maynard Fergsuon and wrote articles about them. Besides accuracy, I love adding sparkle to a writer's work.

Hi, my name is Andrew. Happy Friday! I am highly experienced in the creation and copy-editing of books ready for printing and self-publishing as ebooks. I am happy to edit a sample of your book and will work closely with you to obtain the best size and layout of your book. Once this has been decided, I will use either Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher or Adobe InDesign to finalize your manuscript with all the correct margins, embedded fonts and layout guides according to how use the file will be utilized. For example, as you wish to upload to Kindle Direct Publishing I will recommend an aspect ratio of 16:10 whilst making sure the file you receive is a Word document with the correct breaks and spacing, as Kindle organizes these accordingly. I have the relevant software and subscriptions to complete this work and to test your finished book on the Amazon previewer function. I will then take screenshots of the book as it would appear so you can be assured of the final outcome, as this can look a lot different than the original file. I have completed many assignments like this but many are covered by NDA's which I adhere to so if you would like to contact me further, I am happy to copy-edit a sample of your work to show what I can do for you. Thank You.

Hello, Happy Friday! I think that I would be well suited to this position due to my experience as both an Editor and a copywriter. I have done several "About Us" and product descriptions for different clients and I was Editor In Chief at a (sadly failed/closed) publishing company, as well as having experience Editing short stories and Curriculum Vitaes. You can see examples of my work on my Profile in the Portfolio section. If you would like me to, I am happy to do trial editorial work on a short sample. Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thank you for considering my application to your Project. I hope that we can work together.

Hello, I am a graduate of the Master of Publishing and Communication degree from the University of Melbourne, and I have solid professional writing and copyediting experience. Throughout my degree I received extensive training in proofreading and copyediting, learning how to quickly and meticulously identify errors in punctuation and grammar. I also have a thorough understanding of how to thoroughly edit a piece whilst maintaining the unique voice of the author. I have put these skills into practice in a professional capacity as a copywriter and social media coordinator at a creative agency. In this role I have written and edited a wide variety of content, including website copy, blog posts, marketing material and press releases. I have also worked as a freelance contributor to an online magazine called Milk Bar Mag, and have recently begun writing for a food media startup called Hood Food Guide. This experience has helped to further develop my skills and I am confident it will enable me to complete your task to a very high standard. I look forward to discussing this task with you further, Elyse
