I’m happy that I have your attention, even if it’s only for a little while, so I won’t waste your time…let’s get into it. I checked out the project info and I am really excited by what I read! Proofreading and editing can be a pain if it's not something you enjoy (unlike myself), so why not pass that chore along to somebody else? Do you need help improving the quality of your work? Well, I need to know more in order to give you a proper quote along with a specific timeline. This quote includes: - checking and editing the spelling and grammar - highlighting instances where the meaning is unclear with suggestions for improvement - highlighting passages where the writing could be improved and making edits (e.g. to make the text more concise) I will track the changes in a Word document so that you can easily see the revisions I have made, along with any comments, and I will also provide you with a clean, revised copy so that you can read through your amended document clearly. I read it all through with my own eyes and grammar-loving mind, so you can be sure that your work hasn't just been run through a spell-check (which can often miss things!) Please say “hello” or attach your requirements in the chatbox. Regards, Sunanda

Greetings. I understand you are looking for a nonfiction book editor who can preserve the tone and cadence of your book. I have experience in editing nonfiction works. One of my notable past projects was an essay-style book on figures throughout history for a private individual, who later self-published his book. My editing approach is straightforward. I would first read through sections to understand the tone and voice of your work. I would then look for grammatical issues and any sentences whose flow does not match the rest of the work, providing track changes and notes. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you on your project.
