I have recently finished a 45K words, non-fiction, professional book on selling in the digital age. This book is half professional guide half coaching and somewhere along the lines of 'The 4 hour work week' or 'The 100$ startup'. I need an editor to polish it all and make it ready for publishing. The areas you would need to work on are: 1. Editing: getting out all typos, commas, grammar mistakes 2. Wording: Polishing over the wording and making it all smooth and pleasant 3. Coherence: Harmonizing the chapters and making it all coherent 4. Structure: Making sure paragraphs are set according to flow. 5. Titles: Making sure all chapter titles etc make sense Native English speakers preferred. Experience with professional, business-oriented literature a strong plus. Best Alex

Hi Alex, Congratulations on writing a book. That's no easy feat. I would love to help you take your book to the next level of professionalism, in all 5 areas that you highlighted. Here is an example of editing work I did for a client on his introductory marketing book. Original: "Now that we’ve discussed the importance of, and got a general direction of, establishing a baseline, we’re going to segue into A/B testing. The purpose of an A/B test is to determine if “A,” your control or your top performing marketing campaign, can do better than “B,” the new marketing campaign that you are launching against it." My edited version: "Once you've established your baseline you will want to test against it. That is the purpose of an A/B test. It finds out if “A” can do better than "B." If your control can do better than your variable. If your top performing marketing campaign can do better than the new marketing campaign." With a degree in communications I am definitely familiar with professional, business-oriented literature. I will make your project a top priority and work with you until you are satisfied. Please contact me if you have any questions. -Kate Merriman

Hi! I'd love to discuss your project with you further! As you'll note from my profile, I'm quite comfortable with editing and polishing non-fiction books, and can write, edit, and revise in nearly any style and with nearly any tone to help make your voice shine. As previous clients can attest, I pride myself on high-quality work. I'm not happy with the final product unless you're thrilled with it, and to help make that happen, I take great pride in extensive, clear communication to make sure we have the same expectations of the final product. I've written and edited dozens of published works previously, largely in the self-help and business genres, and would like to share my experience and skills with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you have, or to see more samples of previous work besides those shared in my portfolio. Thanks much for your consideration!

I would very much like to be considered for your project. What sets me apart from everyone else is that I have a keen interest in your particular genre. I can lay claim to having worked on many business-oriented projects. One of them, I am sure you will be familiar with - The Four Maps by Robert G. Allen (please take a look at my portfolio for feedback from Mr Allen). 'The 4-Hour Work Week' and other similar books I frequently use to hone my freelancing profession and the way I run my business. I have worked in my field of expertise for many years, long before joining this and other similar websites for freelancing. I am a responsible professional and take pride in every project I undertake. Unlike many others on this site, I do not outsource any of the projects I am awarded, but undertake each one myself to ensure my clients receive the best results. I use track changes in Word and provide a tracked and clean/final version of each project. I will check your 45k book for spelling, grammar, punctuation, sentence/paragraph structure and flow, readability and correct titles for each chapter. I will also enhance the vocabulary where needed. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss matters in greater detail and look forward to hearing from you. Best Regards Stephanie

Hi! I am Lori, and I am an MD in between practices, and I have also been a writer/editor for over 25 years. I proof and edit everything from a single paragraph to a film screenplay to 1,000-page manuscripts. I also write content, from academic assignments to web page content to general articles. My greatest joy in wordsmithing is editing books- this past year I have been working with self-help authors and leadership authors in the non-fiction section, and have had 14 books in the hard-copy publishing cycle this year. I have helped numerous authors perfect their books for internet sales, and have lost count. I communicate with you regularly, with updates (questions, and suggestions). What changes are needed I will make, sending comments to you (I use Word Tracking). I am fast, never miss a deadline, and am totally proficient in English grammar, sentence structure, and syntax. When you are content, then my job is done! I look forward to talking to you! My Best, Lori Just an FYI- You may have many bids from the team services. The leader bids then outsources to a person in their team- usually with no contact with you. Beware of project numbers in the hundreds, and lower completion rates. With my bid, you get me 100% of the time, until satisfied.

Yes, my bid is higher than some. But making the magic that sets your book apart doesn't come cheap! Send me a chapter to edit for free, and I think you'll see why it's worth paying a little more for my expertise. As an award-winning wordsmith with 38 years of editing experience, I have sharpened to a high degree my ability to choose the most accurate, the most scintillating words to make anyone's writing stand out. Imagery, imaginative phrasing, a sense of humor, and creative insights are my hallmarks for helping writers succeed. In the past year, I've edited eight books -- a children's story, a self-help book, an illustrated handbook aimed at the entrepreneurial crowd, two personal journals about spirituality, one thriller set in Africa and the UK and another set in the Mideast, and a young adult romance novel. I have a gift for making dialogue resonate with readers, and my keen eye for characterization in fiction is highly developed. I would love to help you with your project. Talk to you soon!

Hi Alex, I am a professional writer and editor with over 20 years' proofreading and editing experience, and I am interested in working on your non-fiction editing project. I have a degree in Creative Writing, which included coursework in both editing and business writing, and I also studied Organizational Leadership so I have a strong background in business writing of all kinds. Unless otherwise requested I do all of my editing using the Track Changes feature of Microsoft Word, including both inline edits and comments. My rate for full-service editing is $3/500 words; this includes copy editing/proofreading along with structural and content editing. My time frame for completing a project this size is 10 to 14 days. I do want to mention that I have a somewhat low completion rate on Freelancer due to several scam projects, so if you have any concerns after looking over my profile I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have, as well as provide you with references from previous clients. Samples of my writing and previous editing work are available in my portfolio; I’d also be willing to edit a short portion of your manuscript as a sample of my work at no charge so you can decide if our styles are a good match. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you’d like any additional information, and thanks for considering my proposal!

Hi there! I believe I am very accomplished in the criteria needed to help you with editing and polishing your book. If you take a look at my profile, you will see that I studied law at both undergraduate and master's level in the UK. I have direct experience in producing, editing and reviewing complex essays and articles, which has given me a mastery of the English language. I then went on to work in the European Marketing Team at Samsung, one of the biggest brands in the world. I played a key role in the marketing campaigns around some of Samsung's biggest mobile products in my time here. I am therefore very familiar with working under pressure, and producing high quality English text at the same time. As a result of my above experience, I have also been exposed to much business-oriented literature. I can therefore satisfy your additional criterion here. I would be able to start on this project immediately. Feel free to contact me at any point for any questions - I look forward to hearing from you! Alex

I'm pleased to submit my bid to copyedit your book. I am US born and based, and I have a college degree. I had a successful 25 year career in operations and management. I left it so I could work from home and care for my mother. In just under a year, I've edited and proofread hundreds of thousands of words. I also have developed a small but loyal client base. Some of my successfully completed projects include: 85K word novel (copyediting, proofreading), eBooks (copyediting, proofreading), 60K word thesis (copyediting, proofreading, converting US English into UK English), articles, blogs (copyediting, proofreading, writing, rewriting), websites, business plans (proofreading). I estimate it will take me about 22 working hours to complete your project. I will create and submit a style sheet with the completed work. I am happy to work in MS Word, Google Docs or Apple Pages. I can also copyedit in hard copy, and if I do, I will use standard copyeditors' marks.
