For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Check your novella for US (or UK) spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Assist with flow/clarity - Assist with plot structure, characterization and originality - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job.

Hi there, I am a highly-skilled writer who has strong visual awareness, exemplary grammar and spelling knowledge, and the ability to analyze and modify. When it comes to missing links and correcting errors, look no farther. Remember, your content could be a first impression. If you send out material that is riddled with misspellings, grammatical errors, and wrong information, you aren’t going to be presenting a good image of your business. Here is the summary what you have requested. Task: Editing a story book (novel) approx. 25,000 words in length Proposed Deadline: 5 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

Hello, I consider myself a skilled writer that strives to make the customer happy and completely satisfied. Since I have excellent grammar and spelling capabilities, I am able to determine the concept that is trying to be shared by the customer. I then turn around and correct missing links or other errors and produce refreshed content that is plagiarism-free. No online rewriting tool is needed in this case. It is important to remember that the content of your business plan – not just the appearance – could be the first impression a prospective client may get. If the prospective customer receives a document that is full of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and inaccurate information it can give a poor impression of the presenting business. It would be my pleasure to help you get your content in optimal shape. Regards

If you employ dialogue in your novel like this: "Oh, my, you're quite a manipulator," Oliver said smugly. Then you need to stop using adverbs like smugly. The speaker's words should convey his or her emotional intent. Better would be: "Oh, my," Oliver said with a smirk, "you're quite a manipulator." It's the little things that make or break a novel. That's where I come in. I let nothing pass without careful consideration -- every single word. Send me a sample to edit for FREE and see what I can do for you. -- David L. Gaskill
