I'm looking for an editor to read through a non-fiction book manuscript. The topic is the city of Seattle's recent economic history so it deals with population and demographics and the changes resulting from the tech-economy. I think the prose is readable but want a fresh set of eyes on it. No need to double check all my facts, though if you want to include that service let me know. I've no idea what this would cost so let me know what you'd charge. The manuscript is not long 35K or so.

Hi I'm an independent editor 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. I work on a range of fiction and non-fiction manuscripts; my educational background means that I am well suited to factual work with a more academic lean. 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. As far as fact checking goes, it's completely up to you; I can quote for this if you decide that you do want the added security of a second pair of eyes. Get in touch to discuss the project in more detail with regards to your deadline. 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

Normally, I charge $0.01 per word, but I am open to discussion on that issue. A lot could depend on your deadline. I'm one of the few preferred Freelancers working on this site and I hope you take the time to read my profile, samples of my work, and comments from my clients. I was a business major in college, although I don't know what bearing that might have on the background you need. I'm in the eastern United States time zone in St Joseph, Michigan. I certainly hope I'll hear from you soon. If I'm away from my computer, I can get back to you within 12 to 24 hours. Thank you for any consideration.

I am committed to the success of your project. Professional proofreading/editing for 7 years, with the intelligence to analyze non-fiction, and classical education to improve your fiction. When a writer in need goes to hire a proofreader or editor for their written work, many make the mistake of looking for those people who "can" do the job. These people will often list "proofreading" or "editing" among a lengthy list of other services, as they try to be everything to everyone. Don't make this mistake. What you want is someone who "does" the job - who consistently devotes his freelance career to exactly what you need. My SPECIALTY is proofreading and editing. I know the audience you are talking to, which is very important. Let’s talk and see how I can help! Thanks for your time. Warm Regards, William

Hi. I am a writer and an editor with experience of over 9 years. So far, I have edited 16 full-length novels and scores of stories, articles, essays, research papers, website content, etc. My last project was editing two anthology projects that were subsequently published in paperback. My editing process involves manually editing the text as well as running it through a few editing software to get a more thorough analysis of where the work is required. While editing, I keep an eye out for: 1. Spelling, grammar, and punctuations. 2. Sentence structure and readability. 3. Reading level of the entire text. 4. Uses of adverbs, passive voice and weak words. I aim to make the manuscript its readable best without taking away the author's writing style. It is your work, and in the end, you should have the final say in what to edit and what not to edit. Hence, unless you prefer otherwise, I usually work through Google doc's editing feature. This gives you full control over what edits you'd like to keep and what you'd rather discard. Most of my previous projects were either through my workplace or completed after signing an NDA. So, I may not be able to share a sample with you. Therefore, instead of providing previous work, I am willing to edit a short, sample text that you provide. This will help you gauge my exact working method. Inbox me if you wish to discuss this further. If not, I wish you all the very best for your work! -Zahra Qaiser
