Hello Freelancers, I have just completed a 61,330 word long young adult science fantasy about a mysterious tribe in Alaska that steals languages from people and now I am looking for someone who can do some minor line editing and proofreading. I already have a fantastic structural editor and have worked with her for 15 years. She has done three rounds on this manuscript already and believes it is in perfect shape. However, I always want to get another pair of eyes who can do some minor copyediting/ proofreading. Nobody is perfect and so I just want to make sure that she hasn't missed anything. If you are a native US English speaker, familiar with young adult books, and have edited in this field before, please make me a quote. You can find the first chapter of the book attached as pdf file. If you need more chapters to evaluate the manuscript better, please let me know and I will send them to you. I am a painter and illustrator by profession. So my budget is very limited, and I am just writing books for fun. Two of the books are published on Amazon already though. You can find out more about me on my website. Just google Marc Remus. I am looking forward to your offers, Best regards, Marc

Hi Marc, I was interested to read your project description and believe that I may be the person you are looking for to assist you with a second pair of eyes. I have worked in many genres over my years in this industry, not only as a line editor, but as a "second pair of eyes" for some already highly respected authors. Additionally, I have worked with very young debut authors, and assisted them right up to the stages of going to print. I would very much like to discuss your requirements further, although I can see you have had a lot of interest for your project. However, I am ever hopeful that you may consider me for this assignment and very much look forward to hearing from you. Best regards Stephanie

Hi Marc, I am a native English speaker, with a proficiency in US English and a recent Law graduate from a Top 10 UK university. I have completed both a Bachelor and Masters degree in law so I have excellent attention to detail and an understanding of the rigorous professional standards you will expect of your novel. Although I am new to Freelancer I have a great deal of experience in academic writing and editing, including published work for an international legal journal. I have further been able to apply my proofreading skills to legal documents during the course of my legal work experience as well building upon these skills at an amateur capacity on Freelancer where I have proofread and edited drafts of novels and theses. To ensure you are happy with the work I am doing I have proposed a three stage payment plan to help you remain in control of your project. If this interests you, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your consideration. Stuart

I have experience editing others' work from my time as a reporter/sports editor and later as a media relations director. I have degrees in economics and management, but writing has remained a passion. You mention Amazon in the description. As a side gig, I have narrated (produced and provided voice over reading) over a dozen audiobooks on Amazon's ACX for distribution on iTunes and Audible. Each of them had grammatical flaws, and some required extensive proofreading. My goal is not to supplant your current editor, who sounds wonderful. I'm glad you have found such a positive, collaborative work dynamic. I see this project as akin to quality control: all the normal proofreading standards you would expect, but also communication with an experienced professional who is unfamiliar with you project and can give a fresh perspective.

Subject: Service Offer I would like to offer you my proofreading services for your project. I must say that this project is particularly interesting, since I am passionate about discovering new writers! Spanish and French are my mother tongues and I learned english when I was a child. I am always looking to challenge myself and improve. I am also currently learning ASL (American Sign Language) and Italian. Furthermore, I started translating 6 years ago, in addition to the 12 I have been writing and translating for myself, my companies and others’. These personal and professional experiences have allowed me to develop several skills such as creating fictive worlds and characters, write coherent stories, translating from English, Spanish and French, respecting the original writing style and deadlines… Please accept the assurance of my highest consideration.
