Hello, and congrats on finishing a book! My name is Jackie, and I would love to edit it for you.
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. Perfect prose is my passion--I have copy-edited and line-edited five novels, a self-help book, a children's book, an academic journal article, and several newspaper/magazine articles and business publications. I am currently a writer and staff copy editor with three local publications in my city, and I have worked as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing.
I would be more than happy to edit a sample of your writing free of charge in order for you to determine if I am a fit for your needs. I also have samples of my prior work available in the Portfolio section of my Freelancer profile, and will happily provide references upon request.
For general copy editing, I typically charge $.012/word, and on average can edit about 2,300 words of text in one hour. Since I don't know the word count of your book or how intensively it needs editing, my current bid is only an estimate.
I look forward to hearing from you!
