I have written a Sci-Fi novel which I think (and others) has an epic story line which I need professionally edited.

$30-250 NZD

Paid on delivery
The full project I need is the 33 chapters of the book or 72,284 words edited. There is an average of 2190 words per chapter. I would like you to edit the first chapter of my book to ascertain your ability and style of writing. I would then like a price to edit the entire book. I think there are two key things that need doing. The first is to correct grammar and spelling and other quite simple editing tasks. The second is to bring your skills as a professional writer to help fully develop my novel. The price below $30- $50 is just for editing the first chapter. You will need to send me samples of your work and your CV so I can then choose the person I will be working with. Its my intention to pay between $1500 - $3000 for the main work.

Hi, I'm Rohan and I'm ideally suited to proofread and edit your novel. I'm a skilled writer and editor with a bachelors degree in Literature and Creative Writing. Furthermore, I have worked as an Editor for lifestyle magazines and Publishing Houses, and as such I'm a tried and experienced veteran of the editing industry. As an Editor for a leading Publishing House (Penguin Random House) I have edited and formatted several high profile manuscripts that have come my way, including sci-fi. This industry insight will undoubtedly serve in your favor when the time comes to start approaching Agents (another area I can help with.) My services as Editor includes: Editing in any style UK/ US. I make sure that there are no grammatical or spelling errors. I work on the sentence structure and word usage. Make sure there is language consistence Make sure there is narrative consistency Make sure there are no plot or thematic holes Make sure the dialogues are in line with the characters' backgrounds As per industry standards I use 'TrackChanges' in MSWord so you have the option to verify all the changes made. I also offer a running commentary in separate comment bubbles, explaining the 'heavier' edits. (OPTIONAL) And anything else that may come up. Additional Services you can opt for: (OPTIONAL) A thorough critical examination and review of the novel. A complete Rewrite of the novel. I'm unable to attach external documents here, but you may send me a message and ask for my CV or samples.

Hi… I am a very experienced IMDb-credited screenwriter/ghostwriter with a raft of successful eBook and feature film projects to my name, from black comedy fiction to self-help non-fiction to auto-biography and political activism - I am adept with all topics and subjects. Please have a look at my profile here and the 168 outstanding reviews for evidence of past client satisfaction. And please also have a look at my website for a fuller picture of what I can do: [login to view URL] For contractual reasons I have only placed a few pages of some of the books I have ghostwritten, but you will get a pretty good idea of what I can do and the quality of my writing. My fee of $50 (plus Freelancer fees) is for the initial editing/proofreading per chapter and will include revisions until you are 100% happy with the finished work and I would ensure to keep you fed with pages as I go. Thank you for considering my application and I hope very much to hear from you. Please do get in touch if you would like a preliminary chat, as I know how hard it can be to select writers; you need to be sure you choose the right one. If I can help with any questions I will be pleased to answer them for you. All the best, Mitch

Hi, I could take a look at your first chapter for $50 and I could do your whole book for $500. That's a professional edit price for this website. I am a university-educated native English speaker with an understanding of story structure, character development, and have a fine eye for detail. I have lots of experience outside of this site - writing, editing, teaching creative writing and doing manuscript consultations. Please see my reviews and portfolio on the site. If you have any questions or need to see more samples please let me know. We're not able to attach anything to the bid. Meanwhile, I suggest you get some verifications on your portfolio. Thank you.

"Hi, An experienced and skilled writer with impeccable grammar skill, strong visual awareness, and insists on spelling perfection, you can rest assured that anytime I edit, proofread, and analyze a document of any size it will be returned in tip-top shape and free from errors. Grammatical perfection is a necessity in a finished document, and I will analyze, modify, revise, and reword as necessary so you will be left with a superior finished product. I also do all my editing, proofing, and rewriting manually without the use of any online rewriting programs. When quality counts, contact me. Best regards, James Walpole"

Hi, I have over a decade of experience in writing and editing in a professional environment. I've worked as a senior editor on various platforms, including newspapers, magazines, books, websites, blogs, newsletters, advertising and more. I am currently the director of my own company, that provides editorial services. Also, I am a huge sci-fi fan (most recently read 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson). My profile is new on freelancer, since I closed my personal account and created a fresh one as my company (Frannic Creative). Now I’m trying to build my profile again – that’s why you are getting an experienced service at an unbeatable rate! I have completed previous projects on Freelancer, here is some feedback: fpfcontent's feedback: “A job well done! Excellent writer, good communication and delivered on time - would use again.” H3WebElements's feedback: “Very happy with the results and happy I gave him a chance. Turn time was very quick and revisions were even quicker. Overall was a very satisfying experience.” I am confident I can complete your project quickly and professionally. I hope to hear from you soon. I will send CV and work samples during chat.
