Paid on delivery

I have 9 of 15 chapters (MS Word) for a Fiction Novel that need editing. The target audience is junior high school/middle school (10-15 years old). The chapters are 28,000 words to this point. I am not looking for copy editing (even though it needs it). I am looking for developmental editing. For instance, whenever possible, the text should show and not tell. Especially important are sections that could be replaced with description rather than dialog or narrative. These sections should be rewritten. These will be short 1, 2, or 3 sentence rewrites. I also need to make sure that inconsistencies and awkwardness is fixed. Chapters sent upon worker acceptance.

Hi there. I think I'd be a perfect candidate for your project. I have extensive writing and editing skills, and have been teaching writing courses to ESL students at a local university for over 12 years. I can take your content, edit it for grammatical errors, and most importantly, take the content and revise it to make it entertaining and engaging. I will fix anything that reads awkwardly, as this is often a problem with story writing. I have a knack for writing compelling descriptions instead of boring content as well. Please contact me to discuss the details of your project. I'm very interested and work quickly!

I have an excellent command of the English Language and an "eye" for written detail. This was developed in an academic career (PhD) in which I was required to write edit and proof read to the highest of standards. These days I do some more general writing and editing. I also work with the age group your text is aimed at so am well positioned to work on this project. Kindly contact me if I can provide additional information or if you would loke to discuss the project further.

Hello, I have studied in the United States for the past 9 years and as you know we are required to do a lot of proofreading as well as editing a lot of projects. You will have peace of mind if you let me proofread and edit your projects. I am fairly new to this website and don't have too many reviews but the few I have done I have done it with efficiency and within the time frame given to me. Thank you so much for your consideration. . Looking forward to your response.
