Hi! I'm a native English speaker (American, but familiar with international English standards as well) with a passion for writing and a keen eye for detail. I hold a B.A. in English with an emphasis on creative writing, along with a double concentration in history. I'm also currently working on my M.A. thesis in history. As you can imagine, most of my time is spent researching, writing, and editing. I have a very sharp eye not only for grammatical errors, but stylistic choices that could be improved to make the piece flow better. I am extremely detail oriented (even "nitpicky") and I accept nothing less than perfection in regards to my own work and others' if I am reviewing theirs. In fact, even many of my professors rely on my skills to proofread, edit, and otherwise critique their own professional papers for conferences and academic journals. Also, as a writer myself, I'm always happy to read what others have written. I'd love to help you out with your project, and I promise to deliver the highest quality work quickly and at a price you want.

Dear RedBalloon Representative, I am writing to ask for your consideration on the editing position for your new book. I have edited commercially successful books in the past, the most recent being "Wonderdads: Boston," a book that highlights fun weekend activities for fathers and their children. The book was one of the most successful in the series and had no errors whatsoever upon its release in stores. In addition to editing books, I have edited thousands of articles for a number of different online publications over the past 3 years and pride myself on producing strong, quality content for my clients. Please do not hesitate to contact the people at WonderDads to reference my work. Thank you for your consideration. I hope to hear from you soon. Best, Mike Vitanza

I read your attachments and enjoyed both the bright, colorful layout and the messages tucked within. I have a management background (20+ years in healthcare)and at my last hospital in Hawaii, we spent two years studying and implementing the Deming approach to leadership. So, I have an understanding of the value of good employee relations and how that impacts on the bottom line. I am also a trained facilitator. An experienced writer and editor, I provide my clients (many of them repeat) with everything from substantive editing to general proofreading. I edit non-fiction and fiction books (fiction: commercial and literary, fantasy, action/thrillers, YA, western), short stories, personal essays, ad copy, and online and hardcopy articles. I am a published editor and writer. I have published short stories, essays, non-fiction periodical pieces both on online websites and blogs and hardcopy. I have two pieces in an online university encyclopedia. articles. I have edited two anthologies currently editing my third for the same publisher. I am also editing a new non-fiction book (business networking) for a local publisher which will be a series. I also write and rewrite ad copy and product descriptions for several websites. I'm giving you a quote for substantive editing which includes hooks, subject/verb agreement, voice, tense, transitions from chapter to chapter, grammar, punctuation,and spelling. While,I will not change the tone of your book, I will make suggestions to help you produce the book you envision. I will keep you informed throughout the process and give you a detailed written report plus tracking with comments on the page if you want it. I provide quality, confidential work.
