$15-25 CAD / hour

I am looking for a second editor to go through my book. I would prefer someone in the LGBTQ+ community, but allies are welcome as well. Just so you know the premiss of the book: it's biographical and deals with a lot of stories related to my transition and being trans. Please please please, if you don't understand what that means, don't contact me. I need someone to look over the material and edit the spelling and grammar. I have a lot of issues with Grammar so I need someone who is very strict with that. I also would love someone who could bring ideas to the table in terms of like "oh this section should be here" and "oh you need to elaborate on this part, its good but it needs more", and so on. Price: I am flexible with the cost of this. I am open to doing hourly or a fixed rate. I would also love to build a relationship together since this is a pretty big project!

Hi there, congratulations on making it this far with your project! I have worked with countless authors and publishing houses; helping them to perfect their content prior to publication. I am a proud member of a LGBT community in the UK and have spent much time in the beloved city of Manchester, and just two weeks ago travelled to Amsterdam to join in their annual PRIDE celebrations. In terms of my skills, take a quick look at my reviews and you will quickly see that I am good for my word. I write and edit word-perfect content. I would prefer to arrange a fixed price for you as hourly is unpredictable for us both. Once I know how long the book is, I can give you an exact price. I am also happy to work with you on an ongoing basis if this is what you need. Warmest Wishes, Liz

Hello, 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 further. 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: Editor for Book on Trans life Short Summary: Edit and proofread your text book Proposed Deadline: 3 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

Hi! I'd love to help you with your manuscript. While not LGBTQ+ myself, I do consider myself an ally, and would love to help get your story out there. As an editor and ghostwriter, I've helped dozens of authors—from wherever their manuscript is all the way through to publication, if that's something you're interested in. I'd need to take a look at your manuscript first, obviously, but based on what you've described in your proposal, I would suggest starting with a developmental edit. After that, we can move on to line and copy editing, proofreading, and any final fact checking that may still be necessary. From there, I can work with you to help you put together a full book proposal to pitch to agents and publishers, if that's something you're interested in. In any case, I'd love to talk, so please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks for your time!

I would love to edit your book. I am definitely an ally with an early experience in life with confusion in my own sexuality and relevant relationships. One of my closest friends is a gay man. I truly truly love the sensitivity and flamboyance, the openness yet secretiveness, the authenticity of exploring one's sexual orientation and finding one's self in the process. I believe it is not different in the path of that anyone takes to discover one's self in the sense that we all need to establish our own identities. And on the other hand, it is completely different as it deals with an inner turmoil unequaled pushed to the limit by society and norms. You can expect from me professionalism, timely work and excellent grammar. It would be my privilege to input my two cents, IF needed. Do check my profile for ratings and reviews on previous work done. Feel free to message me. All the best, Joyce

Hello, I am excited to see your project - such stories need to be told to help the wider community gain insight into the LGBTQ+ / Trans world. Whilst I am cisgender; I AM an outspoken ally and have formed excellent working relationships with members of the Trans community. I am genuine, friendly, non-judgemental and invested in both learning more for my self, and to learn more ways in which I can assist in providing an equitable playing field for all minority groups. I am an editor and proofreader by trade with a teaching background. Please view my profile and feedback or send me a message - even if you choose not to work with me, I'd love the chance to possibly create a new friend :)

First of all, congratulations on writing this book! I'm sure it wasn't easy, but I think it's amazing that you did it. My name is Jackie, and while I'm not a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I'm most definitely an ally, and I want your book to be read and your voice to be heard. You're looking for grammar fixes as well as developmental edits. I'm your very best choice for both of these -- not to be too braggy. 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've edited more than twenty novels, screenplays, 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 typically charge between $.01 and .025/word, depending on how intensive the editing need is and what type of editing is desired. On average, I edit 2,300 words of text in one hour. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I'd love to help you with your book - memoir? Although not in the community, I have friends who are and am very open-minded and understanding. I have been "close" to a similar situation, and have friends who are affected by trans (ex)partner, child, etc. You say "second" editor. Has it been edited once already? What did they do? Please provide the word count for an accurate bid - I don't work for an hourly rate on this site. I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. I would use track changes and offer comments.

Hello, Although most of my interests on this site lean toward Mathematics and Programming, I am also an avid reader with a good eye for grammar and spelling. I'm not personally LGBT or Q, but am absolutely supportive of those who are. If you're interested, I'd be willing to work for a single sum upon completion, rather than an hourly rate. Best, E.

I am the right candidate because I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to proof-reading and editing ( oh course would need plenty of contact so that you are happy with any sort of changes), I am very open minded and my believes are that everyone has a right to their own lives and how they live it. I hate when people are discriminate, what right do they have to judge someone. To understand someone and their life but not say they are wrong ect, is how I live my life and how I am raising my children. I have only just started to be a freelancer however you will not in any way be disappointed if you decided to choose me, please get in contact if you wish to ask me anything at all. Leanne
