I've written a book aproxamtly 10,000 words it contains 13 chapters. The first 10 chapters are already edited but I still want them to be checked over [login to view URL] last 3 chapters were not edited. I would like the editor to try to change as little as possible. this book is supposed to be fun and lighthearted, therefore I think it needs to be kept in simple English that everybody can understand (It is not an academic article).

I recently edited a novel which has been published (These Foolish Things by Susan Thatcher), making sure that the language would appeal to readers who were looking for a light read. I also write for a magazine, and it is important in that venue as well, to ensure that readers don't feel intimidated by stuffy language. I will proofread and edit, helping to make sure your manuscript flows cleanly, without hiding your voice or overshadowing your style.

Hello, I'm VERY interested in learning more about your book. I hold an MFA in fiction and have edited many novels. I pride myself on being an insightful and efficient editor, and on having an intuitive understanding of each client's specific creative voice. I'd be happy to edit a portion of your book FOR FREE to show you what I can do. Oh, and fun-and-lighthearted is my jam. Much more my style that moody and depressing -- who's got time for that? I hope to hear from you. Best of luck, Jeremy Hawkins Founder/Lead Editor The Distillery: Editing Services Chapel Hill, NC USA

Hi, my name is Lisa. I am a freelance copywriter and editor with over 20 years experience both in South Africa and the UK. Although I have only started using my Freelancer profile recently I have a wealth of experience. I have recently edited seven books and in the author's words my work was like 'gold'. She has said that she finds a new found 'love' of her work once I've edited it. I was able to assist her in style, grammar, overall flow and structure. I am also a very creative person, which allows me to enhance any story. I work very closely with this author, who uses me on an on-going basis, and I would suggest the same should you decide to choose me. I am absolutely passionate about book editing, and most of my 20 years of marketing experience has been in magazine publishing, and obviously more recently book publishing. I am crazy about books and of course editing them. I am a qualified marketing and communications professional and I've worked in major companies both in the UK and South Africa where I was responsible for content, including editing and proofreading and ensuring that the message resonates with the audience. The magazines that I worked on were sent to over 8,000,000 homes in the UK. My natural style is fun and engaging, which would make a project like this for me really easy. I never change the tone of a story but only enhance it to make sure that it is enjoyable. I pride myself on delivering error free work. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Lisa
