I wrote a manuscript for a book and I need someone to edit and proofread it. The book is a fictional feminist piece, that involves magical realism. The work involves editing, grammar checking, character development, story structure and flow. My main concern is maintaining my voice and “weirdness” through the editing process. Being able to write the blurb on the back of my book would be great. Your qualifications: - Native English including excellent writing, grammar, spelling and formatting - A work style that is extremely detail oriented - Strong communication skills

HI! I'd love to discuss your book. It's funny, I just finished up a series of short stories of my own in that realm of speculative fiction with a definite feminist bent. This is certainly in my wheelhouse. ( : I believe the job of an editor is to give the writer a fresh set of eyes with which to view the work and perhaps offer perspectives not previously considered. You can actually check out my overall writing style and tone at my site: scribassist.com. My approach to writing is based upon taking chances as far as being ultra creative and ultimately making a significant impact on that reading moment in a person's life! You have to be smart about how you utilize words and sentences; screen/page space is a precious commodity not to be wasted. Holding a PhD in English, I know that I can create dynamic text for you.

Hi It's certainly a common concern of authors that their editors don't take away their voice - or weirdness, as you say! It's also something that, as a lecturer in Creative Writing, I work on with my students the most; developing a clear voice as an author. I believe that identity is the most important aspect of growing as a novelist. Anyway, besides being a lecturer, I have a Master's in Linguistics and now spend about 70% of my time as a freelance editor. Your project covers the typical aspects of copy editing (grammar, accuracy, voice, tone, style, consistency) and structural editing (layout, development) and that's obviously not a problem at all; I work on these things on a daily basis and am extremely thorough. Get in touch with any questions - I'm happy to look over a sample and give you a quote based on word count. You also mentioned getting the blurb written; I'm more than happy to help you with that too. Thanks for your time Simon Richardson

Hi! I have gone through your project details on this editing task. Don't worry about the voice. It will be same after editing the piece. It will be great if you show me at least a small portion, 1000 words will be good. I'm detail oriented and eagle eyed, especially when it comes to proofreading for spelling, grammar, and punctuation using either American or British standards. I love helping writers to hone their work and elevate it to its highest potential. I will suggest changes to improve the clarity and flow of your text, but I work with a light hand to leave your distinctive voice and tone untouched. I treat all text with utmost respect for copyright and confidentiality. I work in Microsoft Word, and unless you request otherwise, I track changes. I am your best bet. To see some of my sample work, please knock!

I am an experienced American writer who would love to help you with your project, my strategy would be to provide the edits via the track feature of word, which we could then discuss, ensuring that none of your intended meaning was lost during the course of my edit. In terms of suitability, I feel that my profile speaks for itself - nothing but five-star reviews and a rehire rate that is double the average. I would be delighted to provide samples of my writing and discuss things further if you get in touch.

The author of seven published novels and a collection of short stories (see my Freelancer profile for full details), I have over ten years' editing experience. In that time, I have worked with all kinds of different writers - from first-time authors and the self-published to the far more established - writing in all kinds of different genres: literary, romantic, sci-fi/fantasy, historical, crime/thriller, YA etc. Familiar with all publishing industry standards, I will edit your manuscript in three stages. Firstly, a basic edit to eradicate any typos, grammatical lapses etc. Secondly, a more creative/developmental edit focusing on sentence structure, word choice/flow, repetition etc. And thirdly, a final edit and proof to ensure that your work has that essential professional polish. Throughout the process, I would ensure that the 'weirdness' of your voice remains strong and true. Additional info: I use Track Changes in Word and can make a start right away

Hi, I'd love to help you with your book - I like "weirdness." Please provide the word count for an accurate bid. I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience - writing, editing, publishing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. I would use track changes and offer comments on a thorough one-time edit. You would then do revisions and get it properly formatted for whichever platforms you want to publish on. Then you would get a final proofreading done (preferably with fresh eyes). Please see my reviews and portfolio on my profile page. I can send you a list of edited projects and publications and/or direct you to some of my work online if you like. Thank you. I've been involved in the feminist community on and off for many years. I'm currently one of the writers included in an anthology called: Daughters of Feminism Vol. 2 (in progress). I've just published a memoir called: Love, Death & Tango - for which I wrote my own back blurb - so I can work with you on that too once I've read the book.
