I am a native English speaker, an experienced journalist and sub-editor, and also a writer of fiction (2 novels, 1 book for teens and 3 books for children). I edit for a writers group and for a local small publisher (Libros International). I have ghost written for clients through GF and I am confident that I can do a seamless job editing your work. I am precise and thorough; I will edit grammar, punctuation, spelling and syntax, but moreover I can re-write (with approval) to aid readability, assess the flow of a novel and improve the likelihood that it will be taken up by a publisher. If you Google me you can see samples of my work or I can provide references. Kind regards, Penny Lapenna.

Serious bidder I worked for Watsan's Publisher editing several books written by author's from abroad and local in the USA. My editing techniques were superb as stated by Sandra Wellborn my book publisher. I have four books published on the market and many poems in various nationalwide periodicals. I can start editing your book right away and have it completed in eight days, probably less. Regards Maggie

I would be happy to help get your book published. I am an editor by trade. We can discuss your requirements and I can customize a price for your manuscript once you send me a sample. My low estimate is $.01 per word, which will be adjusted once more information comes available. Please see the private message board for my normal estimated rates. Sincerely, Lori

Hello. I am a professional editor, copy editor and proofreader in the UK. Recently, I have tackled major works including two academic works of 550+ pages each – with tables, footnotes (lots of footnotes) – a Buddhist text (about the same length as yours) and am about to take on board another academic text for Cambridge University (UK) and a further Buddhist text. I am not sure if my UK English standards will meet with your approval though if you are non-UK domiciled. Best regards and good hunting. N.
