Hello and thank you for looking at this project. I have just finished the 8th draft of my novel and am looking for an editor to correct/improve (if necessary) the book's: - spelling, - punctuation, - syntax, - basic facts, - story and sentence flow, - plot holes, - and more content related issues. The story is a black comedy so I would like someone who is fairly open minded and won't get offended by dark humour. I'd preferably like someone from the UK due to the number of topical references and I also need spell checking to be in UK English. To prove that you're not just blind proposing could you please use the word "Pineapple" in your proposal. Many thanks

Hi there There's nothing particularly dark about a pineapple, but I'll go with it! I'm an editor based in Leeds. I specialise in micro-detailed novel editing; grammar, sentence structure, readability, consistency and plot, register, character voicing etc. I used to be a lecturer in English and Creative Writing and I have a Master's in English language, so this kind of work was a bit of a natural progression for me. It'd be good to have a talk through a sample of your novel with you - it's always good to look at the kinds of changes that it'll need and how far you would want an editor to go in terms of alterations when it comes to tone etc. Get in touch and we can have a chat. I'm flexible with times, deadlines etc. and we can discuss budget (based on word count). Kind Regards Simon Richardson

PINEAPPLES is my safe word. I am open and love dark and witty humor and would have to qualms on editing your book. I am a professional editor, and proofreader. I have many years of experience, and over the years, I have edited several eBooks, manuscripts, magazines, journal publications, website content, articles and brochures. I am happy to simply proofread (catch errors), but I also enjoy in-depth editing, which involves improving readability, offering suggestions and restructuring when necessary. If your project needs careful fact-checking and an eagle eye for eliminating typos and correcting spelling and grammatical errors, I would be happy to help.

Pineapple Hello there, I see you would like someone to help with editing and proofreading your dark comedy fiction novel Would you like a professional copywriter who has over 4 years’ experience doing exactly this kind of work to help you out? I am a native English speaker (Australian) and have recently helped ghostwrite and edit a number of books... Including a 350 page Ebook for a client They were very happy with my proofreading and editing, and appreciated my eye for detail while picking up the smaller grammatical mistakes that are easy to miss for authors who are attached to their own work. They said my 'fresh pair of eyes' were exactly what they needed. I am not from England, but English is my native language (Australian) ----- Zachery is very easy to work with Zac kept me constantly updated on the progress of his work and made sure he didn't miss our deadlines. This is already the second time I've worked with Zac on our marketing and I plan to do so again in the near future. I'm confident saying that Zac's work was worth at least 10x what he actually charged us. I would strongly suggest to anyone that you jump at the chance to work with Zac on any of your projects if he is available ----- Leonardo F. President of FootGolf Australia ----- I would love to organise a quick 5-minute chat to further discuss your project when you have a spare moment. With kind regards, Zachery

Name: Marc Gingell – I love Pineapples Nationality: British (From Southampton) Background: Management Accounting / Project Management / Procurement / Writing Current Location: Thailand – Where you’ll find the best Pineapples you’ve ever tasted. Don’t be perturbed that I’m here. We can make this happen and maybe one day enjoy happy hour pineapple cocktails and watch the sunset. I’ve been involved in all kinds of different writing projects all my life in one way or another. Books, Content Writing, eBooks, Business Reports, Sports Reports, Proofreading, Researching, and Article Writing. My life is split in 2 stages. Stage 1. England. Where I lived and worked until the age of 38. Stage 2. Thailand. Where I have lived and worked for the last 22 years. For stage 1 I worked behind a desk and rarely took a look outside. Stage 2 is different. I’ve released myself from the chains that help me to my desk and developed more skills. Especially after spending ten years with General Motors (Thailand) where I took some opportunities that came my way. This included a move to Project Management which turned out to be a perfect position for me. In 2009, with GM in trouble, the Thai operation down sized and I took voluntary redundancy. This is when I turned my attention to full time writing. I wrote Brian Jacks’s autobiography. He’s a British sporting legend who took part in 4 Olympics. We play golf and often share a pineapple at the end of the game.
