Sounds like a great opportunity; I can definitely help you!
My name is William K Ferro; I'm a pro writer/editor who's new to Freelancer.com, but not to freelancing! I specialize in substantive editing and ghostwriting. It will be a pleasure to edit your short story, transforming it into a fully publisher-ready manuscript.
I have indeed done substantive edits of fiction manuscripts before; I can connect you with a former client of mine if you'd like. I write and edit both fiction and nonfiction for a highly diverse clientele; I've also ghostwritten five successful books. My writing and editing have a proven track record of increasing traffic, raising profiles, and driving sales. I've never missed a deadline.
I'm a regular contributor to a popular blog, and serve as a contributing editor/ghostwriter for a transnational nonprofit. My writing samples are available here in my portfolio: http://www.freelancer.com/u/williamkferro355.html and on my Ferro Communications website. Here's a quote from a recent client review:
"What a pleasure to work with a professional who is not only extremely talented, but who has a real passion for his craft! Helpful in every way...highly recommended." - David Bunney
I look forward to working with you!
Best regards,
