I registered with Freelancer in February last year and have 86 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. I have ongoing freelance work editing papers for an online journal for translators and interpreters and have just begun as the copy editor for The International Journal of Wellbeing, another online journal. Several months ago I edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was so pleased with my work that he commended me to Freelancer - and an article about me was published by Freelancer. Other recent work has included proofreading a number of theses on a variety of subjects, as well as individual chapters of academic writing. 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 17 books to publication and three of these clients have rehired me to work on a second book. Having been a teacher of English in high school for four years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language. For six years I have been a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own.

Be sure you hire not only a professional eye to view your science fiction novel, but someone who understands the genre and its audience. Having worked as a news writer/editor for 10 years and a college instructor for 13, writing, proofing, and editing have been part and parcel to my adult life for a long time. I know the importance of turning in a clean copy to your publisher. In addition, I understand the science fiction/fantasy genre and audience because I have been a part of that readership base since I was eight years old. Even more important, although speculative fiction is my favorite, I have dabbled in a wide variety of genres as a reader and a freelancer. This is an advantage because science fiction is more than just futuristic/other worldly aliens, starships, and laser battles; it's about the whole human condition. if you have any questions, contact me through this websites messaging feature. Thanks.

As your project is a beautiful science-fiction book, I am the right choice for you. As an editor with 37 years of empathetic, word-colorful experience, I have sharpened to a high degree my ability to employ the most scintillating language to make anyone's writing stand out above the rest. Imagery, imaginative phrasing, and creative insights are my hallmark for helping writers rise to the top. I recently completed editing four books -- a children's book, a self-help book, an illustrated handbook aimed at the entrepreneurial crowd, and a personal journal about spirituality. I have a gift for making dialogue resonate with readers, and my keen eye for accurate characterization is highly developed. I would love to help you with your project. Talk to you soon!
