Hello, i would be happy to help you with your new self-help book. What have you written about? As your editor, I will proofread your book and make sure the links are correct, align the bullet points, correct the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, sentence structure and paragraphing, fixing repeated words, overused words, and sentences that are too long, hard to understand, awkward or ambiguous. i will also give you feedback on your writing.

My name is Julie Webb, and I’m a professional editor and proofreader with 36 years of experience, which includes working on a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction books, self-help books, memoirs, academic papers, peer-reviewed journal articles, and textbooks. English is my native language and my Bachelor's degree is in English. I use Microsoft Word with the Track Changes feature turned on. Last year I edited/proofread 27 books. My clients' comments include, "This is my third time working with Julie, she has done a good job and took care of the details.

I'm a professional English proofreader with extensive experience in linguistics and writing. Over the years, I've helped a lot of clients polish and refine their manuscripts (fiction and non-fiction), business documents, books, novels, self-help books, ebooks, short stories, blog posts, articles, presentations, etc. Besides ensuring a document is error free, I usually, if not always, opt to restructure or recast sentences for clarity and coherence, i.e. transitions between ideas. I also do some moderate and/or substantive editing, where necessary, to promote understanding, create parallelism and avoid awkwardness and ambiguity. Also, I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects but I may keep a copy of your document on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. The finished product will include two copies of the edited text—one that shows the changes (a copy with MS Word Track Changes on), and one that incorporates all of the changes made. PS. I hold a BA in English Language and Literature and currently teach TOEFL and IELTS.

Hi, I would love to help you with your self-help book. What is your subject matter? I'm very familiar with the genre - having read self-help for over 30 years, written several articles and edited some books. I'm just not sure I can help you with the technical aspects but I would recommend that after your final proofreading you get someone to format it properly and address those issues. I'm a university-educated native English speaker with a fine eye for detail. I have lots of experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. Please see my reviews on my profile page. Thank you.

Hi. I´m an American editor and proofreader, currently living in Brazil, a native English speaker with excellent language skills and years of experience revising books and other texts, specializing in working with authors for whom English is a second language. I use Track Changes to show my correction of English grammar, spelling, punctuation, vocabulary, sentence structure and clarity of expression, and always offer comments and suggestions of how you can improve what you have written, without interfering too much in your own personal writing style. I have worked on self-help books before - in December, I finished editing a book by an Italian author about making rules for improving your life, and I´m currently finishing another book about intuition and how it helps us succeed in life. I´d be glad to do a sample edit on 1-2 pages of your choice as a free demonstration of the quality of my work. I would love to work on your book, so please contact me for further discussion. Best, David
