Hello, and congrats on finishing your novel! My name is Jackie, and I would absolutely love to edit it for you. The work you have described -- line editing, consistency, tone, etc. -- is exactly what I do best.
I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills. I also have a keen eye and ear for characterization, voice, flow, sentence structure, story arc, and plot. My passion is well-polished, great writing -- I've edited more than twenty-five novels, screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. I am currently a writer and associate editor with a publication in my city, and I have worked in the past as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing.
On average, I edit 2,300 words of text in one hour. I typically charge between $.01 and .025/word, depending on how intensive the editing need is. I have based my bid on $.0165/word, based on the description of the work you'd like done.
I've estimated 20 days to complete the editing process, which includes 1) my initial edits, 2) your review, and 3) my response to any questions or concerns you may have (including additional fixes that may be necessary). Basically, my desire is that you end up with a perfectly polished manuscript, so we will work together until that's what you've got.
I'd be more than happy to edit a writing sample free of charge in order for you to determine whether I am a fit for your needs.
I look forward to hearing from you!
