I have written a book for children (7-9 years old) that I need proofread. While I'm reasonably confident about the writing, I would also appreciate suggested improvements. The book is about 14,000 words long. I am looking for someone with a solid grasp of English who pays great attention to detail. I am attaching a sample chapter.

Hi, Greg! I read over the sample chapter - great work! I will be happy to edit it on spec (at no charge to you) but Freelancer has changed the ability for me to send an attachment back to you in this Proposal/Bid format - so if you'd kindly Message me, then I can attach it that way. Thanks! I've been a freelance writer and editor for over 20 years, and take great pride in providing only the best quality work to each and every one of my clients. You'll find I'm meticulous, accurate, and meet deadlines promptly. For a book of 14,000 words, once awarded, I can guarantee I'd provide you with a stellar edit within 48 hours, easily. I love working with children's books (I'm a former teacher) and would be pleased to be your editor for The Differents. I guarantee you'll be happy with the work I provide. I'm always open to reworking passages, if you like. I want your manuscript to shine and be publication ready. Are you planning to self-publish, or go the conventional route? I have experience helping authors either way and would be happy to discuss that option with you, too. Please let me know if you have any questions for me. I wish you every success, and would love to be the editor to work with you! Sincerely, Cheryl E. Booth

Hi, I can do a really great job with editing your children's book. I currently run my own editing business in the UK where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. I've edited a few novels via Freelancer with some rave reviews (viewable on my profile, look for feedback from Thandi, Howty and others) so hopefully I can do the same for you too. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA, MA, CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Current editing and proof reading service in the UK for several years I have put in a fairly low bid in order to be competitive on Freelancer, but please don't wonder if this will affect the quality of the work. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done by your deadline or sooner. I will: - Check your children's book for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Check for age-appropriate material - Assist with plot structure, characterization and originality - Make suggestions for improvements - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

Hi there. I would love to have the opportunity to proofread and suggest light edits for your children's book. I also have a secret weapon: My seven year-old daughter who is an avid reader and can give us feedback about how compelling the novel is for her age group! I believe that while writing is a creative, beautiful thing, editing is analytical, painstaking and detail-oriented work which requires an entirely different skill set. The combination of a great writer and a great editor make for an amazing manuscript! I will not re-write your work. I will preserve your 'voice' and story, while polishing out any rough parts and really making your work shine. I have been awarded a preferred freelancer badge by Freelancer.com. In addition, my US and UK English language scores are in the top 5%, testifying to my excellent command of the English language. This is what two of my recent clients had to say about my work: “Such a skilled and professional editor - really knows her stuff! Her comments were/are extremely helpful to my novel. Communication and timeliness of the deliverable were also above expectations. I would like to work with her again!” “ Absolutely fantastic to work with! Great engagement and quality. All work and milestones completed ahead of expectation and to the highest quality. Strongly recommended for future work. ” Thank you for considering my proposal. I would love to have the opportunity to work with you. Kind regards, Tra

After looking at your first page, I can already see some mistakes. For example, it's "hordes", not "hoards" (which means something else entirely). As you can see from my reviews and ratings, I'm very good at proofreading.

Hello, I am a native english speaker (U.S. citizen) I have spent the last 15 years of my career successfully working in France in the language industry. I have expertise in proofreading and editing and an attentive eye for detail. I have read the first couple pages of your chapter and, while I think the style is very fresh and would be appealing to children (and adults alike), I have noted a few mistakes as well as lines that could definitely be improved to make the flow even better. I'm an avid reader and writer, a professional, punctual and efficient freelancer, and I maintain open and constant communication with the author during and after the project for any updates. Please feel free to contact me for further information. Best, Elizabeth

Hi, My name is Katrina Sisowath. I am a published author and a freelance editor. Working in the industry has given me an in-depth knowledge of the art of crafting books. When I edit, I look at content, flow, story arc, character development, and authorial voice. I have looked at the sample chapter and can see there are some corrections needed. But I'm confident I should have the book polished within the time frame that suits you. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me

Hello, I have read the first chapter of your book and I have a couple of observations to make. I hope you will not take my words as harsh, I am only trying to help. If I understood correctly, your book is aimed at 7-9 year-olds and this is where you will probably face your biggest hurdle when trying to get your book "out there". Your writing is too mature for this age group. It is fluent, polished, eloquent, but could be overburdening for a child of that age. The topic, motives, story might be something of interest for a 7 year-old, however the choice of wording is for a more mature audience. Here is an example of what I am talking about from the very opening: "Her neck craned, then swivelled." It starts there and just continues throughout - "Garish fluorescent lights shone down upon this familiar scene, revealing an ugly honesty to the grumpy, pushy crowds..." Great sentences, but too heavy for youngsters. Since I am limited with characters here, just some quick notes: Spelling: "She (k)new this because..." (Also that sentence should not open a new paragraph) Punctuation: "But(,) it's one thing to demand..." Parts need to be reorganized: " Lucille’s family was average (insert) By average, I mean that nothing particularly... (insert) Lucille was average ..." Etc. Running out of characters here, or I'd write some more. Anyways, I would love to work on your book. If interested, please be free to contact me. Cheers, F

My proofreading skills are very strong so I can ensure a high quality result with a very high level of accuracy. A quick look through your sample chapter indicates that there are quite a lot of corrections to be made as far as spelling, punctuation etc., and I will also make comments and suggestions in relation to content if required. I believe that my experience as a Mum will help in the overall process. If you have any questions or wish to clarify anything please feel free to contact me.

Hi As I understand, you need an editor who has the ability to edit and proofread your children's book containing 14,000 words. I'm interested to get the job as I’m an experienced editor. I’ve been working in editing line for more than 20 years. I took graduation and master degree on Journalism and MPhil on English Studies. So I know it very well how to edit and improve a write-up. At Freelancer, I’ve also completed several editing, proofreading and rewriting projects. You can see samples of my editing works in my portfolio. At present I’m attached with FAZA Editing House. You can visit the website and see samples of different categories of books I've edited. I'm also a creative writer. I've written a children's book that you can find in my portfolio. If you offer me the job, I’ll charge you only AUD200, and on a settled time, I’ll deliver your manuscript edited. I hope you will find me suitable for your work. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks SM Saifuddin

I am a professional proof reader and copy editor as well as a retired teacher of English. I can assure you of my professional attention to detail and accuracy in grammar, punctuation and spelling as well as clarity of meaning. I have worked for many authors who have all been most impressed with the service I have offered. One of my clients is an Australian publisher - BWM BOOKS. Most of my work comes via my personal website and recommendation - hence the small number of reviews on this site. I usually use track changes so that all my corrections, suggestions and queries can be clearly seen by the client. Please contact me if you wish to know any further information.

Native of the USA - Advanced university degree - Hi! I am also an author of children's stories if you count the those I make up to tell my countless young friends and godchildren. I also vividly remember stories I read when I was 7 to 9 years old. At that time it was mostly Little House books and Judy Blume, but really I would read anything, even the encyclopedia, as I was insatiable for stories. Because of my linguistic education, teacher training and experience as a proofreader and translator, I have a mature eye for accuracy and consistency. However, my own lively memories and active engagement with hundreds of children over the past 27 years has kept my mind whimsical and imaginative. I therefore have a childlike eye for making stories more accessible to young readers. Helping you would mean doing my part to encourage young readership and it would therefore be an honor! I hope to hear from you!
