Hello there! I'd love to help you edit your book of poems. By "table photo book," do you mean like a coffee table book of poetry with photos/illustrations? It sounds really creative and unique. I can't wait to see what you have! I am a poet, writer, and editor with experience in proofreading and publishing both my own and other poets' work. You are asking for someone who likes and understands poetry, someone who understands the nuances of a line break or comma choice (as poetry doesn't always follow the same rules as prose). I will happily work with you to make sure you maintain your personal voice and style, while cleaning up any grammar or spelling errors that inhibit readers' comprehension of your poems. As you are only asking for proofreading, 3 days ought to be more than enough time to complete the project and allow for time communication. Do let me know if that doesn't work for you though-- I can be flexible. If you are interested, I will gladly do a sample edit. Send me one poem and we can try it out to see how we work together, and figure out how we will approach the rest of the poems should we decide to proceed. Thank you for your interest! I look forward to hearing from you. Grace and peace, Abigail S.

I'd be interested to have a look at your poetry book to see if I understand the poetry and could proofread it. I have written poetry myself and studied poetry as part of my B.A. in English. However, poetry is so varied that I would not assume that I can understand it all. As for proofreading, I am experienced in that area, having done it for about 12 years. If you check my Freelancer reviews, where I have been working for four years, you will see that all my clients have been satisfied with my input to their projects.

Hi, I can do a great job with proofreading your poetry. I currently run my own editing business, where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, poetry, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Managed an editing and proofreading service for several years We would have to discuss your exact requirements before we agree on a budget and duration for the project. Please get in touch when you can to talk it over, and I'm sure we can come to an agreement. I'd like to know how many words there are per page, and whether you would like me to look just for typos (spelling or obvious punctuation/grammar errors) or actual editing. Poetry can be subjective and doesn't always follow the usual rules for grammar and punctuation. Ideally I'd see some examples before we agree to go ahead. For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Check your poetry for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

Hi, I'm interested in working on your project. I have self-published 3 books of poetry and had several poems published in anthologies. I teach poetry to adults and children. I used to be in a writers' group where we critiqued each other's poems and I have edited poetry. That being said, it's a huge, varied genre and my experience doesn't guarantee I would like or even understand your poetry ... I'd have to see a sample. But, I don't have to like it in order to edit it. It should, however, be understandable to your target reader. Do your poems follow a specific format or are they free verse or blank verse? Is there rhyming? Please provide the total word count and the number of poems and a sample in order to get an accurate bid. I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of general experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. Please see my reviews and portfolio on my profile page. I can send you a list of edited projects and/or direct you to some of my work online if you like. Thank you.

I do the following and more: • Correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar • Check the logical flow of ideas • Ensure that message is clear • Research and check facts From formatting and preferences to punctuation and parenthetical, I rigorously strive to improve the works assigned to me with great care. Using my vast library of resources at my side, I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry. Working with you will be a pleasure.

Hello there! There are several reasons why I'm perfect for this job :) First of all, my good command of English can be proved by my Master's degree with honors in English translation . Second, I truly love poetry and write poems myself as a beloved hobby, which means that I do have certain experience in this field. And finally, I'm a beginner here, so I'll try my best to do everything absolutely impeccable and on time, if you give me a chance. I'm responsible, accurate and hardworking, so you shouldn't worry about the quality of translation. Besides that, I can do the task as soon as possible - within 1-2 days, if needed, and for a moderate fee. I can do this for $70 in total. What do you think of that? All in all, I'm looking forward to our productive cooperation! Best regards and have an awesome day, Anastasia
