I currently run my own editing business in the UK where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA, MA, CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service in the UK for several years I will: - Check your novel for any remaining spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity where necessary, including passive voice/clumsiness - Assist with plot structure, characterization and originality - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

Jambo! I would love to have the opportunity to edit your novel before submission. I found the sample intriguing. I have edited your sample but can't attach it. Please advise how I would do that? Why hire me? I believe that writing is a creative, beautiful thing while editing is analytical, painstaking and detail-oriented work which requires a totally different skill set. The combination of a great writer and a good editor make for an awesome manuscript! I will not re-write your work. I will preserve your 'voice' and story, while polishing out any rough parts and really making your work shine. I have been awarded a preferred freelancer badge by Freelancer.com. In addition, my US and UK English language scores are in the top 5%, testifying to my excellent command of the English language. This is what two of my recent clients had to say about my work: “Such a skilled and professional editor - really knows her stuff! Her comments were/are extremely helpful to my novel. Communication and timeliness of the deliverable were also above expectations. I would like to work with her again!” “Absolutely fantastic to work with! Great engagement and quality. All work and milestones completed ahead of expectation and to the highest quality. Strongly recommended for future work.” Thank you for considering my proposal. I would love to have the opportunity to work with you. Kind regards, Tracey

Eagle eye editor at your service! Your sample for editing is very compelling and carries a engaging energy. If you deem me to be in the running, I would be more than happy to provide you with an edit of this sample, which at a glance could certainly be ameliorated by a thorough grammar and diction proofread (we can't attach documents to our bids here). I have a Masters Degree in English and have been editing fiction, non-fiction and other creative writing for nearly 15 years. My work is very thorough, accurate and technical but my passion is on helping the author's voice shine through as clearly and consistently as possible. Helping you share your story is my goal. Feel free to be in touch if you would like to receive a sample edit. Thank you for your consideration. Kind Regards, Alex

CALIFORNIA LOVE Nairobi City Yangu. When I was fifteen, I came home from boarding school. Our front door was open, so I entered the house and headed to my bedroom. As I pushed open my bedroom door, I was shocked to find an Ethiopian family having dinner exactly where my bed had been. Taken aback, I quickly darted out of the house, hoping I would find a metal number five looking at me from the front door. Of course it was there, just as it always had been. I walked back in, this time decidin to head for the living room. Our former neat and comfortable living room had become a crumpled, cluttered jungle gym. In one corner, we had the television set (it had been upraded from the Daewoo to a twenty-one inch color Sony TV) surrounded with mounds of clothes wrapped in leso. In another corner I recognized parts of my bed, now dismounted, standing gallantly like wooden soldiers - over which hung a pair of my boxer shorts. I didn’t ask what happened while I was at school - I knew. We had fallen on hard times; my mother’s business was on the decline - well quite clearly a decline was an understatement. We were, to put it bluntly, quite poor. The only way out of this financial hole had been to sub-let both of the bedrooms; we had the Ethiopians in one room and a young Kenyan couple in the other. Despite the financial struggle, being poor was actually quite interesting. The young Kenyan couple were loud - spending their nights either arguing intensely, or audibly engaging in adult activi

I cannot send a sample on here because there is no way to attach anything on here. I have been an editor and proofreader for eleven years and during this time, I have edited thousands of books, websites, scripts, academic papers, and thesis papers.

Our former moderately comfy space, with its sofa and armchair, was now a crumpled and squeezed jungle gym. On one corner there was the television set—it had graduated from the Daewoo to a twenty one inch color Sony model—surrounded with mounds of clothes wrapped in leso. In another corner, I recognized parts of my bed, now disassembled, standing gallantly like wooden soldiers, with my boxer shorts hanging from them. I didn’t ask what had happened while I had been at school. I knew. We had fallen on hard times and my mother’s business was in decline; well quite clearly ‘decline’ was an understatement. In fact, we were poor. The financial ladder out of this hole had been to sub let both the two bedrooms, so in one room we had the Ethiopians and the next room there was a young Kenyan couple." I thoroughly enjoyed completing the sample, and was sufficiently motivated to take the US English test just so that I could bid! I am an experienced editor, who has worked on novels and I have PhD from Cambridge. Please do contact me with any questions. Alex

**The entire sample will not fit. I am able to start Monday and am flexible with my hours. I am willing to work according to your guidelines. My previous work in proofreading and editing has prepared me for this job.** When I was fifteen I came home from boarding school. Our front door was open when I walked into the house and headed to my bedroom. As I pushed open my bedroom door, an Ethiopian family was having dinner exactly where my bed used to be. I dove back and walked right out the house, just to confirm the door had a metal number five looking at me, which it of course did. I walked back in and decided to head for the living room. Our former moderately nice living room was now a crumpled and squeezed jungle gym. On one corner we had the television set ( it had graduated from the Daewoo to a twenty one inch color Sony TV), surrounded with mounds of clothes wrapped in leso.
