Started writing my memoir, probably 75-80% through. Running about 430+ pages so far. Obviously, lots of edits, clean up, just putting it all in there. Very rough. Some riveting, some graphic and detailed, other parts more calendar, ship’s log, need to tie more emotion and reaction into it. But I really think there is a story there, besides being cathartic for me. A Beautiful Mind, Girl Interrupted, who knows, a movie, or pie in the sky. But I really need someone who can feel it, convey it. Mental illness, repeatedly raped by a priest, significant trauma in house hold growing up, illness, beat by brother…..some story. All got the better of me, suicide attempts, professional ruin, loss of law license, jail, surviving affairs by my wife, all very graphic. Twist, one affair, patient, she is a visiting nurse. Andrew Topping the guy who tried to have Richard Nixon killed at the ’72 convention. All on line. Now, well on the road back again. Applying for reinstatement of law license, built my own recruiting business, still married. Volunteer at soup kitchen, Habitat for Humanity. Meds, see a psychiatrist regularly. Share my story, maybe help others.

Definitely sounds like an eye-opener. The key to a compelling memoir is how well you put your honesty on the page. It's about mining the heart and soul for those things inside which make you absolutely you. My job is to help you find that honesty and bring it to life in a fluid and thought-provoking way. You can actually check out my overall writing style and tone at my site: scribassist.com. My approach to writing is based upon taking chances as far as being ultra creative and ultimately making a significant impact on that reading moment in a person's life! You have to be smart about how you utilize words and sentences; screen/page space is a precious commodity not to be wasted. Holding a PhD in English, I know that I can create dynamic text for you.

Looking forward for a discussion on getting this mammoth of a 430+ page story completed. Regards, Yasir Saeed

Being a professional PhD level academic writer, editor and proofreader, I'd be the best fit for the said task " Started writing my memoir, probably 75-80% through. Running about 430+ pages so far. Obviously, lots of edits, clean up,..." 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 help you with your memoir. I've worked on several - including my own. I work for a flat rate based on word count. I'd ask for your word count but the first thing I'm going to tell you is that it's too long. You can google typical word count for memoir - it's well under 100,000 words. So, rather than charge you for the word count as it is, I can do a consultation (based on a synopsis/outline/chapter/section) and give you guidelines for whittling it down before having a full edit. You can do several revisions yourself with guidance - either from me or by taking a class, reading a book, etc. You have to find one main theme and stick to it, deleting those things that don't directly relate to it. Those deletions may make up another memoir or other personal essays. Does that sound like an option? I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. I would use track changes and offer comments. Please see the reviews and portfolio on my profile page. If you would like, I can send a list of edited projects and/or direct you to some of my work online. Thanks.

(I'm English by the way, not Thai haha) To be honest, it is going to take some time to put this all together in a way which would do it justice. Also, you should probably chat to some of the candidates first, as you want to make sure it is someone you are comfortable working with on something so personal. Anyway, I have experience with helping people write their stories and I would love to try to help you get yours out there too.

Hi, I really felt that while I was reading your summary. I can tell even from just the summary that your story is very impactful and would change people's lives. Although not to this extent, I have gone through several traumatic experiences as well, struggled with mental health, and also go to therapy regularly. Your work really resonates with me and I believe I can do it justice so that it can impact the lives of many people. I am a graduate with a university degree in English creative writing. I have over 4 years of experience writing for and editing several literary magazines in NYC. I also have experience in legal proofreading, and these combined experiences have given me a very sharp eye for content flow, syntax, and grammar errors. I know how to add enough detail to make your story evoke emotion from people, as I have written several of my own stories. Please contact me with more details so I can give you a better estimate of the completion date. I would love to help you with your story. Thank you for your consideration, Julia

Hello, my name is Kitty Howes and I am very interested by your life's story even as you summarised it here. It has a lot of potential to interest other people and maybe even help them improve their lives or change the way they view things. I would be honoured to edit your memoirs and, if needed, help polish your writing to give it more of an emotional connection to your readers. I promise accurate, speedy returns on work with great attention to detail. If you look at my portfolio you can see some examples of my academic writing and online articles to see if I would be able to present your story in the best light possible. I have proofread numerous short stories for publication online as well as some novels that were independently published by authors, so I have plenty of experience in this line of work. As this work is quite substantial, I would suggest breaking it down into several chunks so that you can ensure the quality remains what you want. The first milestone would be the first ten pages, charged for $250, then it would be broken down into $2000 for each one hundred pages. The final milestone I have indicated assumes that your story is 430 pages long, but additional milestones can be added according to the length of your story.

As a personal/executive assistant, I've had to perform a plethora of clerical and administrative tasks for my previous employers. I have previously worked as a ghostwriter for the memoirs of a billionaire philanthropist. With the years, I have learnt to perform under pressure, while keeping a positive attitude. Tight deadlines do not scare me and I can adapt to almost any situations and environments. I am a fast learner and usually build trusting work relationships with both clients and colleagues. I am highly efficient at multi-tasking, fast-paced and highly productive, thus making me a great employee/team member. I enjoy a support role, as I like the vast array of clerical and administrative tasks performed in such a position. With my flexibility and work ethics, I believe that I would be the perfect candidate for the position. I have enclosed a copy of my resume for your consideration. Do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Telsa

Hi there, I would love to help you with your memoir. My background is in journalism, so I have a lot of experience interviewing people who have had traumatic experiences and helping them to tell their stories. I think your work could make an excellent story by applying the traditional story arch to the entire narrative and to each additional scene. For example the opening would bring the person into the story and then it would build to the turning point where you came to a place where you could turn your life around. To do this we would need to start with building out the scenes as though, as you say someone was watching it through a cinematic lens. I am currently working in marketing, but I love interviewing people and telling stories. Please let me know if you would like to discuss this opportunity further. Sincerely, Shella

Hi, I appreciate you sharing your story and I am sure that it will inspire and help a lot of people. I would love to help you write it because even though I may not know all of what happened to you, I myself have battled a psychosis, depression and thought about killing myself a lot. I went through horrible years, where I never knew whether I was alive or already dead and it was the scariest 3 years of my life. I am better now and started to write about my story as well. Deep truth like your story, which contains the darkest parts of humanity can oftentimes inspire greatness and give people a better understanding of this world. I know what you have been through is tough, but writing your memoir is an amazing thing and I would love to help you make it perfect! I will do everything and work on it until it is finished and you are happy with the result because that really is something special and I hope that you consider working with me. All the best to you.

I hope you give me the opportunity to write with you and tell your story. Thank you Regards Kim

Good morning, I'm writing to express my interest in editing your memoir. I have completed several similar projects on Freelancer and UpWork--please see my profile for client feedback. Moreover, once your work is published, I would be happy to leave a review on Amazon/Goodreads, in addition to promoting it on my book review blog. I bring the following valuable skills and experience that would make me an ideal fit for this position: I earned my B.A. degree in Literature from Wilfrid Laurier University, and I am working towards my post-graduate accounting designation at Conestoga College. I was the global editor for Wilfrid Laurier University's magazine for three years. Moreover, I was a copy editor for the university’s newspaper for three years. I have proofread and edited numerous short stories/articles throughout my university career. I have written copy articles for the accounting software firm Intuit for the past two years. Currently, I am self-employed and work for a major finance company. I have flexible hours and can certainly complete and submit the final copy in a timely manner. Due to the nature of my job, I am accustomed to identifying minor discrepancies and errors. I possess strong attention to detail and can provide an objective opinion of your piece. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. Please let me know if I can provide any further information. I would love the opportunity to read your work! Sincerely, Sarah
