Hi there, I'm an independent editor in Leeds, UK, with 10 years' experience, a Master's in Linguistics and a background as a lecturer in English and Creative Writing. I provide a comprehensive editing service that comprises thorough grammatical and lexical checks as well as flow, consistency, layout, style and tone. My edits are in MS Word with all changes tracked, and I always submit a draft in advance of any agreed deadline, so you have a chance to review and come back to me with questions at no extra cost. I have substantial non-fiction editing experience, including self-improvement, and I have also worked on series before - an important skill when ensuring that a consistency of tone and style is maintained across multiple publications. Get in touch to discuss the project in more detail; 6 weeks is no problem, so it'd be good to break that time frame down into milestones. I am more than happy to provide a sample if you want to get an idea of my work – and to answer any other questions. Kind Regards Simon Richardson

Hi there, Bettina invited me to your project and I believe I'd be the perfect fit for this job. I've ghost written and edited several creative books and I know I have plenty to bring to the table. For me to give you an accurate quote and timeframe, I'd need to review a few sample pages so I have a clearer idea of the kind of editing you need done. I'm open to discuss this further with you. Thank you for your time and consideration. Kind Regards, Bella

Hi! My bid is based on an estimate of 100,000 words total, between the four books, and 2 rounds of copyedits for each. Each book will be returned to you within a week of receipt; after you've seen my edits and returned the book, I'll then have a second round of copyedits for you within a week of that second receipt. I'm an extremely experienced nonfiction editor, with 60+ titles to my name in just the last few years, and I'm especially comfortable in the non-fiction self-help/personal development sector. I'd love to discuss your project with you further, so please reach out and let's discuss in private chat. I'm happy to answer questions as you might have them. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hopefully speaking more soon!

Hello! I’m Deborah, an experienced and certainly creative book editor, and I’d be delighted to edit your four books! I am a native English-speaker (Uni education with double English majors from an Australian university), with sensitivity to the nuances of written English. In my previous-to-Freelancer life, I learned about the importance of making non-fiction more accessible to readers by working on learning materials for mature aged students. In my Freelancer Profile at https://freelancer.com/u/greatwords4you you can see how I use track-changes in detail in my Portfolio samples and also read reviews of my recent work from very satisfied clients. For each book, I suggest 2 edits + a proofread (all using Track Changes). I’ll send you the text after each edit to check and answer the clarifying questions I’ll probably have for you. With this detailed approach I will need your full 6 weeks. I work in detail without losing the overview to ensure accuracy, polish and readability. With sensitivity to text & thoroughly professional standards, I aim to make my clients happy! Regards Deborah

Hi, I would like to edit your books. I have read these kinds of books for over 30 years, written related articles and edited many from other writers. Please provide more details about the content and what kind of editing you would like. More specifically, what is the subject matter—of the 4 different books? I suggest we start with one and see how it goes. I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience—writing, editing, publishing, teaching writing & doing manuscript consultations. I would use track changes and offer comments on a thorough one-time edit. Please see the reviews and portfolio on my profile page. I can send you a list of edited projects and publications and I can direct you to some of my work online if you like. You can check me out at The Book Babas. com in Calgary. Thank you.
