Purple Cow! Hi I'm an experienced literary editor with a Master's in English and Linguistics, and a background as a lecturer in Creative Writing. I've worked on over a hundred novels in my 10 years as a freelance editor, including a great many auto- and semi-autobiographical works. Needless to say, a lot of these are about personal struggles, including addiction, and this is certainly a topic that I am experienced with; and in which I have great interest. I'm perfectly happy to do a sample, the deadline is fine and I typically provide a draft for review in advance of the project end date so you have time to review and come back to me if necessary. I look forward to hearing from you. Many Thanks Simon Richardson

Hello, I am a highly-skilled writer who has strong visual awareness, exemplary grammar and spelling knowledge, and the ability to analyze and modify. When it comes to missing links and correcting errors, look no further. Remember, your content could be a first impression. If you send out material that is riddled with misspellings, grammatical errors, and wrong information, you aren’t going to be presenting a good image of your business? Here is the summary what you have requested. Task: Book copyediting. Short Summary: You have requested to copy edit your book. Proposed Deadline: 15 days. Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today. Best Regards, Roger Wilsher

Hi there, As a creative writer I am experienced with writing for different niches. Working with you I am able to help with plot lines, narrative, grammar, character development, style and many other aspects of putting together an eBook or a traditional print title. Whatever story you want to tell, fiction or non-fiction, I am able to assist you throughout the entire book writing process. If you need a writer who can write a book to educate your target audience, promote your services or products, then I can write a book you can be proud to share with your audience.

In fact, I'm a jack of all trades with the experience and know how to write both creative books and eBooks alike.

Who is the purple cow and why does he keep posting here? I am 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. I can send you a list of edited projects and/or I can direct you to some of my work online if you like. How will "previous bestsellers" (whatever that means) do anything for my "exposure"? My rate is ~ $0.02 per word (with a minimum of $30) - including sample edits.

" Hi, I'm a trained, old-school proofreader. If three decades of professional editing has taught me anything, it’s that a thorough proofread is the difference between a mediocre piece of copy and something which exudes polish and credibility. Poor grammar, inconsistent formatting and spelling mistakes are the writing equivalent of turning up to a date with ketchup stains down the front of your shirt. It doesn’t matter how much you have to offer if your first impression is slovenly! I have years of practical training as a proofreader. I can give your copy the shine it deserves. So, if you're looking for a person who can provide high-quality proofreading,and is flexible and quick to learn, I could be just the right person! Sincerely, Faye "

Purple cow I'm a skilled editor with a particular interest in books, as well as a personal interest in psychology. For me to do both a developmental and a copyedit on your project would cost you the price listed above, which is larger than your budget, but I think you're unlikely to do much better for a real quality edit. I believe I can deliver in three days, and I'll answer any questions you have about my edits. Thank you for the opportunity!

Purple Cow Hello there, I would love to help you edit your book. It sounds like a touching personal story and I would be honored to help you make sure your content professionally captures the authenticity of the story you have to tell. I have extensive experience editing and proofreading, with a background in writing and degrees in English. Samples of previous work can be provided upon request. With an eye for detail, I will clean your manuscript grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting errors, as well as stylistic inconsistencies. From your description, it sounds like you are primarily interested in a copy edit, for which I have provided a price. When you mention content editing, I assume that means substantive feedback on structure, organization, and material of the book. For that I would have to know more about the project and its condition to give you an accurate bid. For the copy edits, I can easily complete the project in approximately 5 days, though if more in-depth copy edits are involved I will have to adjust that time frame. I will gladly do a sample edit for you. 3 pages is the range I usually suggest. Please get in touch and we can discuss your expectations for the project and any other questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you. Grace and peace, Abigail S.

Hello and good afternoon. Seeing that I have been an English teacher with loads of experience with book editing and proofing, I believe I'm the most suitable candidate for this task. Wasting your time with fancy words won't do much, so I'll close by saying that if you're serious about having your book reviewed by a seasoned professional, then we should continue. P.S. - I'm prepared for any challenge you may have to test my skill-set.

How now, purple cow? Congratulations on completing your manuscript! My name is Anna. I'm a former English teacher with 12+ years of freelance writing and editing experience. IN 2018 ALONE, I EDITED TWO BOOKS ON ADDICTION RECOVERY, for two separate authors. It's not exactly a specialization, but I do have a good feel for it. Much of my work is ghostwriting for professionals who want books to give or sell to clients (e.g. impact investing, behavioral therapy, counselling). I also work on games and sci-fi literature! The most important thing about working with me is I WILL ALWAYS RESPECT YOUR VOICE. Less thoughtful editors will try to add their own ideas to your work. They don't know any better, but I do. I will help you bring your authorial vision to life! And I'd be happy to complete the sample of copy editing you requested. My quoted rate is below my usual since I've got three slow weeks until my next book begins. I hope I get to spend these weeks working for you on such a worthwhile project. Please feel free to read my reviews (and profile)! I work mostly elsewhere, but the reviews here will show you that my clients are always thrilled with my work. I think you will be, too. I always go the extra mile to give satisfaction because I love my work! Hopefully you’ll reach out through chat so we can discuss your project in detail. I’d also be happy to complete a small sample task if you want to see what I can do. Thank you for considering me! Anna
