Hello, this is my second time posting, and I apologize if you are reading this again for the second time, but I put more thought into what I am looking for and it's a little different than what I said before. (I did get some good bids however so please bid again if you would like) I need someone with experience proofreading to read my 42K word fiction book and tell if at any point in the story they felt lost, because the story jumps around a little bit. For now that is all I want, but it would help if you have experience with critiquing as if all goes well the first time, I will probably hire you to do further work on the book. Experience in the publishing industry a big plus. The language in the book is strong and the subject matter highly of drugs and a littel sex, so you must not be offended by such things. Please tell me your a.) experience b.) your three favorite authors, (alive or deceased) Again, if you already bid I am sorry you are rereading this, but please feel free to bid again if you would like. Thanks and best

Hi, I'm an Australian based copywriter and editor. I'd love to help you with your novel and understand how much of a personal journey it can be. I would supply a report as well as a draft of your novel with issues highlighted. I'd love to do further work with you, as this is just the first step in what can be a long journey getting from first draft to publishing. My favourite authors would be (in no particular order, to avoid hurting feelings) Haruki Murakami JK Rowling Thomas Pynchon (if you haven't already, you should read his novella, The Crying of Lot 49) It's not necessarily for their writing style, or ability, but how their novels have shaped my life and been the fire behind my life as an editor and copywriter. Looking forward to hearing from you, Georg

If I understand it correctly all you need at the moment is to read your book and to review it pointing out to the places where the reader is possibly getting lost, right? no other corrections?.

Hello, I did bid on your previous project and would love to bid again. Here is my previous bid: "Hello, Apart from being a writer, I am also an avid fiction reader. I enjoy both classic and modern works. My favorite (deceased) authors would be Marquez, Tagore and Dickens, while I have enjoyed the modern works of Arundhati Roy, Moshin Hamid and Rowling (in fantasy writing). I would love to read your book and give you a reader's perspective on it, and help you give it a better flow. I can return the book to you within 2 weeks, with notes (in margins, footnotes) as to what I think should be improved." Looking forward to working with you!

Hi there, I am a native English speaker (UK, though currently living abroad) and a PhD (University of Edinburgh) with over 8 years of professional editing and proofreading experience, including books, manuals, magazines, academic papers and more. I work extensively with track changes and comments to provide constructive critique and suggestions. As for my favorite authors...that's quite a question! :-D It's better if I provide you with a picture of my private library. Next to several Russian authors, I have just gone through the "lost generation". With regards to the latter, I very much enjoyed the early Hemingway, Zelda Fitzgerald (not Scott) and Joyce. Some of my all time favorites are Salinger, Burges and Graves. If awarded, I could start reading and editing your book as early as tonight, so you'd have it back within a few days. Please do refer to my reviews here on freelancer to get a picture of the high quality and on-time delivery of my work. Furthermore, note that I am a private person and guarantee that your project stays with me. In other words, i will not outsource your project to Pakistan or India (a common practice here) but will work on it myself and be available for communication throughout the process, Any necessary revisions are, of course, free of charge, Lastly, the price is negotiable and ultimately depends on the overall workload of this project. Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss further details. With kind regards, Patrizia

My background experience in proofreading for a prominent London design agency where I proofed in up to 23 languages shows that I have a good eye for detail. I also enjoy reading books and hate it when I find (often) mistakes which should have been corrected before publishing. I can give you a good feedback if I find something which doesn't "feel" right about the story. If you have any questions, please ask. Thank you, David My favourite authors at the moment are: Jeffrey Deaver, Tom Clancy and Sybil Marshall

Hello! I scored a 100% in the US English exam and am a perfectionist who triple and quadruple checks everything, so you can be assured that there won't be any mistakes in my work. I am an avid reader who have read hundreds of books of different genres like drama, romance, mystery, horror, paranormal, etc, so I know what a good and coherent book should be like and can help you improve the quality of your book with honest feedback as an experienced reader. It's very hard for me to choose three favorite authors as I have loads...John Grisham, Jane Austen, Judith McNaught, Nora Roberts (as well as her pseudonym JD Robb), Sidney Sheldon, Khaled Hosseini and Dan Brown are definitely on my most favorite authors list. If you are interested in working with me please send me the details of this project through pm. Thank you!

Hi, An English teacher here at your service :) I am also a passionate reader, so this project would be my pleasure. My three favorite authors are Chekhov (because he's so good at just - telling the story, without imposing his opinions to the reader), Marquez (what an imaginative mind he was) and J. K. Rowling (it's been a while since I read anything where those good, old values were given so much attention. Felt so familiar and refreshing :)) As for my experience here, I've been working as a content and article writer, mainly; but, I also did some blog posting, article spinning, audio transcribing, etc. Should you have any questions about me, my work or my experience, I'll be happy to answer. In the meantime, see my reviews and kindly consider my proposal. Kindest regards. Isidora

I have been teaching writing and editing for over a decade. I just finished editing and ebook for someone via elance. I enjoy editing and proofreading. It is actually one of my favorite things to do. My three favorite authors are Edgar Allen Poe, J.D. Salinger, and Kurt Vonnegut (my number one favorite book is Slaughterhouse 5). I hope you will consider me for this job. I know I could help you fix any confusing spots in the book and give your great feedback. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi, I'm Lucie and I'd love to proofread your book. Well done for getting to this stage with it. I've been working as a writer for years, and my work has included a lot of proofreading and copy-editing. I realised that proofreading fiction was the thing I enjoyed most, and the area in which I could add the most value, so I've joined the Society for Editors and Proofreaders and completed a formal proofreading course. I've just joined Freelancer so I haven't yet updated my portfolio but I've proofed fiction and articles in the past and had brilliant feedback. I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm reliable, efficient and a clear communicator. I won't let you down. My favourite authors (today, at least – it changes often) are Steinbeck, Nora Ephron and Charles Dickens. I'd be very happy to read your book and give feedback on plot and structure. Thanks for reading and I hope you'll consider me. All the best, Lucie PS Nothing wrong with a bit of sex and drugs. In books, of course...!

My favourite authors are: Terry Pratchett Chuck Palahniuk Richard Dawkins I have a wide variety of interests and read a lot. I will easily be able to identify if your book doesn't flow well. I am willing to compromise on the price if you like me, but find me a bit pricey.

Hello! I have a Masters degree in Jurnalism and most important, I am an avid reader, which, in my opinion can be of great help. Although English is my second language, I have been studying it since kindergarten and I also have an Cambrigde Advanced and a Cambridge Proficiency certificate, both passed with merit. When it comes to writing I am a fan of the classics (Dostoievsky, Kafka, Steinbeck, Orwell, etc.). I hope we can colaborate and make your book a bestseller. Kind Regards, Neculae Andreea
