Good Day Freelancers! I have a book that I have finished during the lockdown (29,000 words). It is a parenting handbook and it is Part 2 of a book I wrote 10 years ago (25,000 words) which I will now collate into a single volume. I'll run the text through Grammarly before sending it to you as I did a lot of voice-typing for Part 2! Ideally, I would like to find a proofreader who has experience in preparing a book for digital and paperback publishing, but it's not essential. So, to avoid receiving offers from people who respond within 90 seconds of reading a new online job, and say, "I can do your job. Please message me!" Can you please send me a quote for proofreading the text from both books in your reply as well please? You don't HAVE to have publishing experience, but if you do, can you also provide an approximate quote for preparing (formatting) the text for paperback and digital publishing as well please? In summary, the quotes I would like are: 1) Proofreading Part 2 (29,000 words) MAIN QUOTE 2) Proofreading Part 1 & 2 (approx 54,000 words) and if you are able to provide extra support with formatting... 3) Formatting for paperback print 4) Formatting for Kindle Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

Good day to you! I'll respond to your questions straight away then put the information about me below for if the prices align with your expectations: 1) £290 2) £540 3/4) Yes, I regularly work with authors who are going down the KDP route and provide a publishing-ready formatting service for a flat £100. Now, a bit about me: I've been an independent editor for 10 years now. I have a Master's in Linguistics and I used to be a lecturer in English and Creative Writing. Because of my background, I often find myself working with first-time or less experienced writers and, accordingly, I provide a comprehensive editing service that comprises thorough grammatical and lexical checks as well as flow, consistency, layout, style and tone (basically, anything that falls under the remit of the several definitions of "editing" that are out there. My edits are in MS Word with all changes tracked, and I always submit a draft in advance of any agreed deadline, so you have a chance to review and come back to me with questions at no extra cost. If you want to discuss the project in more detail, drop me a message. I am more than happy to provide a sample if you want to get an idea of my work – and to answer any other questions. Kind Regards Simon Richardson

I am an Australian English teacher, with a Master of Applied Linguistics. I am highly skilled and have experience in all aspects of teaching and using English, so I will be able to ensure a thorough and accurate proofreading service. I also have experience in formatting, including ebook versions in ePub, PDF and HTML formats. I can also format ready for the print version as needed. My quoted amount is for the complete job, but the breakdown is: One part of the book: $300 Both parts: $550 Formatting for ebook: $150 Formatting for print only: $50 Total for all parts of the job: $750 The reason ebook formatting is more is because there is more to do electronically than just how it looks on the page, so it is more time consuming.

Hi, My proposal is in regards to editing, proofreading and formatting your books. I can assist you with a reflowable and fixed layout, and I will provide you with the related images and a unique cover that will be attractive and as per your topic. I will focus on surface errors such as misspellings and mistakes in grammar and punctuation, restructure sentences and highlight the sentences that are not correct. I will ensure the proper sentence structure of English language and ideas consistency and coherence and remove redundancy if any. I am well aware of the formats of eBook like EPUB, Kindle, MOBI, PDF, LIT, BBeB, DjVu, DOC, DOCX, PDF, and AZW etc. So, whatever the format you need I can easily assist you in that. The charges for 29k words book will be 650 GBP and for 54k words 1000 GBP. If you will award me both books at the same time then I will give you more discounted rates.

Hi, I'm interested in helping you with your parenting books. I have bid to proofread part 2. Proofreading is done after professional editing and all your revisions. If you require editing, the price will double. Same with part 1. For both, £325 for proofreading, double if it needs editing. You need 2 different kinds of formatting, which are best done after all your revisions are complete, although final proofreading should be done after you've formatted. Although I've done my own books, I'm not a professional designer and suggest you get someone who is proficient at this. I can offer some guidance and do some real basic formatting for you (included). I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience—writing, editing, proofreading, publishing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. (and parenting!). Please see the reviews and portfolio on my profile page. I can send you a list of edited projects and/or direct you to some of my work online if you like. Thank you.
