I am very interested in your project. I hope you choose to discuss it with me. Thank you for any consideration.

I have been copy editing for more than 10 years, three of these on the Freelancer platform, where all my reviews are excellent. I have edited over 50 books, both fiction and nonfiction, including fantasy and scifi books, one of which was Phoenix Dawn (which can be found on Amazon). Alongside my work on Freelancer, I am the copy editor for a number of organizations, mostly proofreading their journal articles.

Sci-fi/fantasy is right up my alley! My name is Jackie, and I would absolutely love to edit your manuscript. I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills. Perfect prose is my passion--I have copy-edited and line-edited five novels, a self-help book, a children's book, an academic journal article, and several newspaper/magazine articles and business publications. I am currently a writer and staff copy editor with three local publications in my city, and I have worked as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. I have samples of my prior work available in the Portfolio section of my Freelancer profile, and will happily provide references upon request. For general proofreading, I typically charge $.0023/word, and on average can proofread about 2,400 words of text in one hour. My bid is based on an assumed 31,000 words. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a PTC qualified proofreader (Merit) and member of SfEP, and currently training as a copy-editor. I have proofread and proof-edited several books for publishers and authors. My recent experience includes editing of novels, including a mystical and mythical fantasy adventure story. I have always received excellent feedback on the quality, clarity and added value of my work. I particularly have an eye for detail and am very thorough in my work for customers. I pride myself on doing an excellent job, my reliability and meeting tight deadlines. I can proofread your work in Word with tracked changes or in PDF, using comment boxes. I am comfortable working in US English, as one of my recent editing jobs was of a novel written in US English. I can do more than just proofread your work. If you need it, I can develop a style guide, line edit, suggest improvements on consistency, style, formatting, layout, design etc. I am keen to learn more about your project, so please feel free to contact me to discuss further and learn more about my services. I am also happy to carry out a test on an extract from your manuscript so that you can see the quality of my services. My bid is based on 242 pages, which would normally take six days to proofread but I have allowed 10 days in case you require some editing services and for dealing with queries. My bid price will remain the same, even if you require services in addition to proofreading.

The author of seven published novels (see my freelancer profile for full details), I have over ten years proofreading and editing experience. In that time, I have worked with all kinds of different writers - from debut authors to the far more established - writing in all kinds of different genres: literary, historical, thriller, romance, Sci-fi, YA, fantasy etc. Familiar with all publishing industry standards, I will proofread your novel in three stages. Firstly, an initial read through to eliminate all typos and grammatical errors. Secondly, a more technical read through looking at sentence structure and word choice. And thirdly, a final read to ensure that the manuscript has that essential professional polish. Additional info: I work with word and use track changes.

I love to read! I am an excellent proofreader with an excellent knowledge of the English language (both US and UK versions). I have very good grammar, spelling and sentence structure knowledge. I love to read and I would be happy to proofread your book for the bid I have placed. I am always annoyed when reading a book and I find a grammatical error as it interrupts your reading, so I understand how important it is for this to be proofread properly into a correct reading format. I would like to be able to help you out on your project and I would be happy to discuss it further. I am available straight away and if you have any questions for me, please do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes. Tracy.
