Hi, I need line editing and copyediting service for my book (150k words). It’s a sci-fi story with lucid dreaming techniques. It’s translated from Russian into US English by a pro translator. The book has been published in Russia as well as other 10+ my books, however it’s my first fiction book. The file will be ready to work on since September 1st. Could you help me? If “yes” how much it will cost? How soon you can start? Please, attach a 2-page sample of editing (with tracking mode)

I've been a copy editor for more than 10 years and have copy edited about 60 books, as well as many academic papers. I am currently the copy editor for a number of entities, including the International Journal of Wellbeing, the Aegis Trust (based in Rwanda) and the New Zealand Blind Foundation. I have been working via Freelancer for more than three years and all my reviews are good. I have edited a two-page sample of your manuscript (pages 6 and 7), which I will be able to provide to you if you send me a message. I can start on September 1st, or earlier.

Hi there I've had a read of the first couple of pages of your book, and have done a sample edit. If you'd like to see it, just send me a message (Freelancer doesn't allow attachments to these proposals). I've been a professional editor for several years. Prior to this, I was a teacher / lecturer in English. I have a Master's in Linguistics, so while language is my academic speciality, I have worked on nearly 100 books with clients around the world. As is typical with translated works, one of my main focuses will be with adverbial linkers and conjunctions - the words that join sentences together and improve the flow. Of course, I'll ensure that all errors are ironed out and that consistency and your narrative tone are retained, but as a language specialist - and in particular a specialist in teaching non-native English speakers - my main focus will be flow. I'd expect 150,000 words to take around 3 weeks, after which you'd have ample time to look through my tracked edits and ask any questions you may have / make comments / request re-edits where necessary. My standard charge for this word count would be $1350. As I said before, get in touch for a consultation. Best Regards Simon Richardson

Hi, I’m Bella, a professional copy-editor from New Zealand. I have enjoyed working with budding and experienced authors. I have worked with a lot of content written by people for whom English is a second language. For long books, I like to work them chapter/section by section so I get a feel for how much editing you are looking for and to ensure that both parties are happy. To reflect this, I have set the price up in several milestones to represent checkpoints. Project bid price is $2500. Turn-around time is 30 days. Books I have proofread include: - ‘Roots: Memoirs of two cities’ by Collin Chee, - Two of the ‘Single and Blessed’ series by Rebecca Kay, and - ‘Dongbeihua: The Dialect of North-East China’ by Dennis Behnke. We are unable to upload documents on our bids but I have completed 2 pages of the document attached which I can pass onto you if you contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Bella

Hi, I'm Rohan, and I'm ideally suited to copyedit your sci-fi novel Elizabeth's Mystery. I'm a skilled Editor with a BA in Literature and I've edited novels for various clients and publishing houses from across the globe. I'll use TrackChanges so you can verify all my edits and I'll also leave explanatory comments along the way with content edit recommendations. My rate is $0.03 per word, so that's $4500 for the whole book. I can start as soon as you're ready, and I can be done editing within 30-45 days. I'm also willing to edit a 2-page sample and send it to you, however, you'll have to initiate chat so I can share it with you. You may go through edit samples and reviews in my profile.

Hello, I consider myself a skilled writer that strives to make the customer happy and completely satisfied. Since I have excellent grammar and spelling capabilities, I am able to determine the concept that is trying to be shared by the customer. I then turn around and correct missing links or other errors and produce refreshed content that is plagiarism-free. No online rewriting tool is needed in this case. It is important to remember that the content of your business plan – not just the appearance – could be the first impression a prospective client may get. If the prospective customer receives a document that is full of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and inaccurate information it can give a poor impression of the presenting business. It would be my pleasure to help you get your content in optimal shape. Regards

"Hello, I offer any kind of editing/rewriting/proofreading and complete them expertly ready within short time. I will ensure a plagiarism free article. Plagiarism is generally grounds for failure of a course and can lead to dismissal from college; in this case it should be avoided or prohibited. You must always have a reference page as well as in-text citations to avoid plagiarism. The Reference Page immediately follows the text of the paper. Items on the reference page are listed alphabetically. If you use another person's idea or paraphrase another person's words, be sure to use your own language and style of writing - don't simply rearrange the words. The scope of my services also extends further to detailed descriptions and correction of grammatical errors. Regards "
