Posted almost 6 years ago

$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I have written a novel in Arabic language. It has been translated to English but contains many mistakes. I would like it proof read for grammar, and spelling. Also improving the vocabulary, re-structuring some paragraphs and making appropriate corrections to the nonsense translated sentences, flow, and grammatical accuracy of the manuscript, without altering the plot. I need an editor who can indent my manuscript how it needs to be in order for it to be seriously looked at by a literary agent and eventual publisher. The novel is about 215 pages (49000 words). Only NATIVE english bidders please (usa, uk, canada, etc) You should highlight any edits you make.

Hello, I have edited books translated from other languages and helped many writers whose native language is not English. i would be happy to edit your book. the most important thing is to convey what the author wants to say in a way that is natural and understandable in English. I will help you to do that. If any sentences are too long, hard to understand, or awkward, I will fix them for you. I will also correct the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax and sentence structure, and passages that are nonsense I may need to ask you some questions to be sure of what you were trying to say, and I will leave them here on Freelancer for you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Webb, and I’m a professional editor with 36 years of experience, which includes working on a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction books, academic papers, business documents and journal articles.

Being a professional PhD level academic writer, editor and proofreader, I'd be the best fit for the said task " I have written a novel in Arabic language. It has been translated to English but contains many mistakes..." I will provide you with 2 MSWord files upon completion, first one with the highlighted proofread version( so that you can figure out the proofreading) and the second with the accepted changes version (the final document). As a proofreader and editor (in both scenarios of structural editing and language editing), I am experienced and knowledgeable, with an eye for details. I have the tenacity and predilection to proofread and edit books (fiction and non-fiction), magazines, websites, as well as publications aimed at special audience such as academic writing journals or business reports.  With a PhD in English as well as years of experience in curriculum design and teaching writing at various levels, I am skilled and knowledgeable in all types of proofreading and editing tasks. When it comes to editing and proofreading, I make sure that: The text is free of errors like typos, misspellings, grammatical mistakes, and punctuation errors. The content is engaging and readable to the readers’ retina. Style and tone is correct. Everything in the text conforms to the acceptable editing standards. You can fully count on me and I am looking forward to working with you. Thanks

Hi, I'd like to edit your book. What's it about? I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing and doing manuscript consultations. I would use track changes on your document and include comments. Final formatting is done after your rewrite. I would try to make sense of your "nonsense translated sentences" ... but no guarantees! Please see my reviews and portfolio on my profile page. Thank you.
