Proofread / Edit a Book

To Whom It May Concern: I am an experienced science fiction manuscript editor with over six years of experience in structural editing, content editing, and copyediting fiction. Some of my experience and examples of previous works can be found in my portfolio; however, there are more reviews on my Guru account at [login to view URL] I use the Chicago Manual of Style for editing fiction works as that is what the New York Times currently accepts for authors they’re reviewing, and it’s the style publishers prefer manuscripts to be submitted in. As you can see in my profile, I have taken several tests to prove I am capable of editing in the English language, and I'm a native speaker. I’d like to take a look at a sample of your manuscript. I’ll send it back to you with Track Changes showing to demonstrate my capabilities, and I’m willing to sign a nondisclosure agreement before I see any part of the manuscript. If you do not have one available, then I can provide one. I understand first-time authors and self-publishers are on a budget, so I charge $0.005 per word for editing. I can have a manuscript of 55,000 words completed within one week of contract acceptance. Thank you for your time and consideration! Sincerely, Nadene Seiters

Hi there First off, congratulations on completing your first novel! It's no small undertaking, but the hard work really starts now. I've been a professional editor for 10 years now, and I've seen plenty of great sci-fi novels in that time. My background is as a lecturer in English and Creative Writing; I have a Master's in English Language and Linguistics. I provide a complete linguistic and structural editing service - this means that I not only edit novels for accuracy, but also layout, flow and "publishability". Do feel free to send across a couple of pages as you suggest; I'll read through but also provide a sample edit, so you can the kind of changes you should expect from an editing service. I use tracked changes, and I don't charge for samples. I look forward to hearing from you! Simon Richardson

Hi - I'm happy to proofread your book as I'm a professional English proofreader with extensive experience in linguistics and writing. First off, I've helped a lot of clients polish and refine their manuscripts (fiction and non-fiction), business documents, books, novels, novellas, ebooks, short stories, blog posts, articles, presentations, etc. Besides ensuring a document is error free, I usually, if not always, opt to restructure or recast sentences for clarity and coherence, i.e. transitions between ideas. I also do some moderate and/or substantive editing, where necessary, to promote understanding, create parallelism and avoid awkwardness and ambiguity. Also, I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects but I may keep a copy of your document on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. The finished product will include two copies of the edited text—one that shows the changes (a copy with MS Word Track Changes on), and one that incorporates all of the changes made. PS. I hold a BA in English Language and Literature and currently teach IELTS.

Hello! My skills test show I have a great mastery of English. 55000 words would take me less than 7 days to complete. I know you are ideally looking for a sci-fi fan, but I can't say I'm one. Maybe your book will change that! Please consider me for this job as I would love a long-term working relationship with you.

I've done a lot of novel editing, including science fiction work. I'm confident I can do a good job for you and I hope I have an opportunity to discuss your project. Please read my profile, and my most recent reviews. The last two reviews were for my editing work in novels. The authors were very happy with my work. If you would like to send me a few pages of your work, I'd be more than happy to take a look at them and perhaps make some changes and send them back to you. Looking at my profile, you'll notice I have all of the required citations to qualify for your job. Thank you for any consideration. I'm in the Eastern US time zone.

Hello there! I have read your project carefully and can deliver top-notch proofreading/editing for your scifi novel. I possess more than 4 years experience in this area and also write ebooks. I would like for us to discuss more about the task. Sincerely, Kemmydal

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 am a native English speaker currently residing in Croatia, a professional proofreader, editor and writer with a strong work ethic and great sense of responsibility towards my clients. I am a sci-fi/fantasy writer myself, which makes me oddly disinclined to read such works, it feels like I'm polluting my fantasy and skewing the instinctive direction of my thoughts, but the same fussiness also makes me a valuable advisor to anyone in the process of writing something of the sort. I would truly love to help you if we make a good match, but I would have to know a little bit more to be certain that we do. If you choose to message me, please send some samples and/or your explanation of the overall concept of the novel, it's main ideas and the world/time that it takes place in. Then I would be able to evaluate how appropriate I would be for this project. As stated on my profile page, I guarantee high-quality work, but am entirely new to this platform and can therefore only prove myself by getting an opportunity to show you my expertise. I hope you will consider my proposal. Thank you for your time! Best regards, Sarah J.
