We're looking for someone to edit a roughly 16,000 word document such that it is ready for publication in eBook (and possibly hard copy) format.
The work is a biography of a soldier who fought in WWII, and contains a great deal of historical research. Therefore, the ideal candidate would have some track record of editing work that falls into this, or a similar category.
The edit should ensure that the style of the narrative is engaging to the casual reader, yet presents the historical research in a clear and concise manner. It is vital that the essence of the historical research remains unadulterated - there must be no "poetic license" in terms of distorting the facts as they are supplied in the draft.
Presentation of the wider historical context should be harmonious with a narrative that focuses on the subject of the biography. The context should not appear simply as "background noise", yet nor should it blur the intended focus of the work (a biography).
The successful candidate would be a native UK English speaker (UK English would be his/her native language), or would have passed the UK English exam, Level 1.
If there are a number of suitable applicants for this project, we would shortlist 5, who would then be asked to edit the same 500 word passage as part of selection. This work would be unpaid. We would then select the successful candidate on the basis of the quality of the overall bid.
Please note: The successful candidate would not retain any rights to the completed work. All rights to the work, including copyright and reproduction rights, would be entirely owned and controlled by the original author of the work. The successful candidate would not be entitled to take any public credit for work done, nor receive any public acknowledgement or accreditation for the work (although this may later be offered, at the author's discretion).
Being a platinum level expert ezine author and having 4 years of writing expertise (articles, rewriting, blogs, ghostwriting etc), I am 100% confident that I can deliver you high quality, plagiarism free, seo friendly and error free articles within the earliest possible time and also at an affordable price. Please check my portfolio for samples and details.
In addition to these, I can do 5-8 500 words articles per day depending on client’s requirement (20-30 per day for bulk and urgent projects).
I run each and every article through copyscape premium before sending them to client.
I proofread every content in order to make sure that there is no or minimum error.
I always follow deadline. Most of the times I deliver work before deadline.
So far I have completed around 800 copywriting projects in freelancer.com. Here is link of my profile and portfolio—

Hello;
I have been an editor for nine years and during this time, I have edited thousands of books, articles, websites, academic papers, and scripts. I can begin immediately and provide a finished, fully edited project within two days.
Please see my reviews on freelancer.com/u/hepzi.html
Good luck!
My current aim is to establish myself as one of the most reliable providers and I believe that the only way to achieve this is by Buyer Satisfaction. Miss Flora.
Regards.
I've done similar work before, even here on Freelancer, as proven by a subsequent review. Anyway, I would love to do this project, and will not deviate from your wishes. I'm a published author myself and have self-published a few ebooks too (search-engine my name anywhere for my writings & blog).
Hope I hear from you soon!
Hello! I am currently employed with the North Dakota Legislative Council as their proofreader, and I have been a proofreader/editor for almost 9 years. I am a native English speaker, and I have an in-depth knowledge of the English language and grammar. I have proofread many different types of documents. On a daily basis, I have to produce high-quality work that is not only error-free but also flows smoothly and makes sense. The majority of the work I do is seen by the public, so I have to ensure that my work is the highest quality so the author of the document maintains a good rapport with the public. I would love the opportunity to help you with your project and to show you the quality of work I can do. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you in advance for your time.

Thank you for considering my bid to assist you in finalizing your military biography.
I possess an MA in editing and publishing, and significant experience editing military publications. Should you choose to accept my bid, I would approach the project in the following manner:
1) Initial reading of the biography and structural/content editing for logic, consistency and flow of ideas. Estimated time - 2 days
2) Return the manuscript for your review and to address any significant structural/content issues if required.
3) detailed copyediting and proofreading. Estimated time - 4 days.
These estimates would be reviewed and discussed with you as appropriate upon acceptance of my bid and throughout the project.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information and to discuss your requirements.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Hi.
I am native UK English, and have passed Freelancer UK English 1 qualification. I have experience editing and proof reading hard copy books.
While I have good general knowledge of WWII, my knowledge does not extend to specific units. I see this as a positive in that I will not bring any subconscious bias that could creep in as "poetic licence".
I understand and fully respect the author's right to present the context as perceived by the soldier, and present this alongside the broader historical context, details of which the soldier was probably unaware at the time.
I have time to dedicate to a thorough editing job for you. You will note that I have indicated 10 days to complete. I am aware that most other bids are for faster completion. I can reduce the time if required, but not less than 7 days as I do not want to compromise the result
Let me have your 500 word trial section and you won't be disappointed.
Peter

I currently have plenty of time to invest in this project.
