Bulk Novel editing project

I am interested in your project and would like to edit a sample chapter, if you like my proposal. I would be able to do a sample edit within 8 hours of receiving it, but not necessarily 8 hours from when you send it, particularly as we are in different time zones. My bid price and timeline are arbitrary, as they are not based on a word count. I registered with Freelancer more than two years ago and have 180 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing, proofreading, and transcribing. For six years I was a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own. For nearly two years I have been the copy editor for the International Journal of Wellbeing, an online journal, as well as the copy editor for the Blind Foundation of New Zealand. For two years I was a copy editor for Elsevier Science Publishers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, rewriting text by authors who were not native English speakers. I have worked with individual clients to bring more than 25 books to publication, most of them novels, and seven of these clients have rehired me to work on further books.

Good Day, thank you for the opportunity to bid on your project. I understand the project is to edit and proofread a novel. I am a retired lady with over thirty years of working experience. Not only do I have a love for the written word I also hold a formal qualification in English along with a management diploma. I do not have many reviews as the majority of my work has been for one employer with whom I have worked for the past 19 months, writing articles for an on-line news site. It has been a satisfying partnership for both parties. The only proofreading and editing that I have done is for students from Russia and Ukraine so my experience may be limited but my enthusiasm is not! I have the time, discipline and desire to assist you with your project and would work toward a beneficial relationship for both of us.

Yes, my bid is higher than some, but if you send me a chapter of your book to edit for FREE, I think you will see why you should hire me. You will get tremendous value for your money. My method, developed over 38 years as an award-winning journalist and wordsmith, is to edit a book three times: First, to correct all errors and smooth out the rough edges; second, to add creative touches and suggest meaningful changes; third, to make sure in a final polish that the text flows flawlessly and connects most effectively with readers. All this takes extra time and extreme, compassionate focus. Among the books I've edited are a children's story, a self-help book, an entrepreneurial guide, two spirituality journals, thrillers set in Africa and the Mideast, and a young adult romance novel. Talk to you soon!

Hi, I would bid accurately if you provide the word count. I can offer you editing for one double-spaced page for free - but I would charge for a chapter. I am a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience outside of this site - writing, editing, teaching creative writing and doing manuscript consultations. Please see my reviews and portfolio on my profile page. Thank you. You must realize from our perspective - it looks like you could give away all the chapters to different freelancers and get the entire novel edited for free.

Hey, I took a look at the details provided in the description and based on what I saw, I believe that I am the most suitable candidate for the job. I am a major in the English Language, and I've done countless work in various areas of writing such as rewriting, proofreading, editing, website content development, creative and academic writing as well. There is always room for improvement and with that in mind, I take the time to work on bettering my skills as I grow. Good work speaks for itself, so feel free to have a look at my portfolio and request other samples of my work. Thank you for considering my application and I hope we can speak

Hi, This is just a placeholder bid, and I look forward to doing the sample edit for you. Please send it over. Thank you.

Hello there. Salutations to you. It seems you're in need of a proofreader/editor. I also noted that you need a sample done. Would you be one issuing the sample that needs editing or did you want something previously done with edited bits highlighted? I would be willing to take a test to prove whether or not I'm a competent editor. Feel free to contact me if you'd like me to be part of your team. Wishing you success with your project (s).

I'm an editor at a publishing house. I've copyedited journal articles from the civic media field; edited a PhD law thesis that was around 400 pages long; copyedited and proofread a civic media book within a span of 10 hours. I look forward to receiving your sample.

Hi! I have read your project description carefully and understand your requirements completely. I have worked on the similar project recently for an Indian firm. My flair for writing combined with my passion to travel makes me a perfect choice for your project. My strong educational background along with my writing experience ( delivered 609 articles, completed 10 projects and written 90,000 words) makes me a perfect candidate for your project. I am ready to work at very reasonable rates and can deliver the sample chapter within 8 hours of assigning. Kindly drop a message so that we can discuss it further and I can share relevant samples with you. Thanks and Regards Radhika

Hi. Depending on the size of the sample chapter required, I can submit a revised, flawless piece within 6-8 hours. I have read and completely agree to your terms and conditions; please send me the chapter to be edited and revised whenever convenient.

I am deeply interested in your project and will be happy to help you with it. I have a B.A. in English language and literature and a specialized certificate in copyediting from the University of California San Diego Extension. Therefore, I have the required education and skills to copyedit your novels to your satisfaction. Also, my B.A. in literature developed my critical thinking skills that could be useful for your novels. I will perform the basic tasks of improving the grammar, usage, and syntax, as well as maintaining consistency of style. I will also edit the content for any internal discrepancies or inconsistencies. In addition, I will fact-check the information in your novels if needed and perform any additional related tasks you require. I can start on your project immediately and I look forward to working with you. Should you find my proposal inappropriate for your needs, though, I wish you the best of luck in finding the best provider for your project. Thank you.
