Hi – I’m Emily Heill, a professional editor and proofreader. I would be happy to edit your manuscript in 4-5 days only. Throughout my career, I've helped a lot of clients polish their fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, business documents, books, novels, ebooks, short stories, blog posts, articles, presentations, etc. Besides ensuring a document is free of grammatical errors, I pay attention to clarity and coherence, lexical choice, accuracy and consistency of syntax, and readability. To ensure privacy, I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects. The finished product will include two copies of the edited text—one that shows all of the amendments that I have made (a copy with MS Word Track Changes on), and one that incorporates them. These are some of the books I have edited: 'Looking for Dei' by David Wilson (fantasy) 'The Shoebox' by Tracy Ploch (adventure) 'Hiding in the Shade' by Kathryn Wiseman (self-help) 'The Opposite Effect' by Steve Claydon (business development) PS. I also have a BA in English Language and Literature and currently work as an editor in ESLSCA Business School. I really look forward to working on your novel!

Hi there I'm an independent editor from Leeds, UK, with 10 years' experience, a Master's in Linguistics and a background as a lecturer in English and Creative Writing. I provide a comprehensive editing service that comprises thorough grammatical and lexical checks as well as flow, consistency, layout, style and tone. My edits are in MS Word with all changes tracked, and I always submit a draft in advance of any agreed deadline, so you have a chance to review and come back to me with questions at no extra cost. I have worked extensively within the travel genre, including writing and being published as well as working as an editor - so I'm particularly interested in your memoir. I can also provide assistance with publication if you need. Either way, get in touch to discuss the project in more detail with regards to your deadline and the overall structure. I am more than happy to provide a sample if you want to get an idea of my work – and to answer any other questions. Many Thanks Simon Richardson
