English-US proofreading I have a novel with 67,600 words that needs proofing. Sample attached Native North-American freelancer required Note: I ran the spelling and grammar function of MS Word on the entire document and made some choices that contradicted Word's suggestions - according to the tone of the sentence. When characters speak I often keep grammatical errors that sound more conversational, as well in the narrator's "voiceover". See examples below. I didn't adhere to specific rules, just the "sound" of the sentences. I.e, I occasionally chose - Apparently there was another band coming up. Over Apparently, there was another band coming up. I did a pretty decent job Over I did a decent job I went with a couple of friends who applied and they convinced me to apply too. Over I went with a couple of friends who applied, and they convinced me to apply too. my house is pretty much upside down at the moment. Over my house is pretty much upside down now. I always have to initiate everything Over I always must initiate everything I was still expecting some kind of closure Over I was still expecting closure

Hi I'm an independent editor with a Master's in Linguistics and a background as a lecturer in English and Creative Writing. I hold joint US/UK nationalities and have edited over 100 novels in both forms of English over the last 10 years. As an academic, my main focus is on grammar and language - in that regard, you can expect absolute perfection and precision. However, as a lecturer in Creative Writing, I also pay close attention to style, consistency, layout, flow and character development. A large part of this is ensuring the consistency of character speech; it is completely fine to write in grammatical errors / variations, as long as they are consistent throughout. I can help ensure that your style is completely unfaltering - and of course, my edits do not alter your voice as an author. Get in touch and I'll be happy to take you through my editing process - I am completely flexible with deadlines, and like to provide a draft edit well in advance of any desired date, so that my clients have as much time as they need to review and ask questions. Of course, there is no charge for this. I note that most of the bidders here have offered "placeholders" - you have been specific with your word count, so I have been specific with my bid - no extras, no revisions, no surprises. As an aside, I can also help with publishing proposals, so if you want to know more, just ask! Many Thanks Simon Richardson

I am an experienced writer, beta reader, and editor with a BA in Creative Writing. I will proofread your book or manuscript to catch errors and provide you with a clean and polished book. My work on your book includes: One round of proofreading. I will catch punctuation, spelling, and grammatical errors. I will also catch misused words and make suggestions when needed. I edit in MS Word using "track changes". A note about proofreads: A proofread is not a line edit. There is a huge difference. A proofread is meant to follow a full edit, line edit, or copy edit. A proofread's purpose it to catch any final errors and mistakes prior to publishing. It is the last step before a book should be published (and should be done in addition to an edit). Please message for availability. I look forward to making your manuscript shine!

Hi there! My name is David Militello and I'm an experienced proofreader and editor with the Preferred Freelancer Program. I know exactly what you're talking about when not following all the suggestions of MS Word or other proofing programs. Those are more suggestions for formal writing and don't really apply to creative writing, so you're fine. I'd be more than happy to go over your novel, looking for any actual errors but leaving your writer's voice intact. Feel free to contact me directly to discuss further!

Hello, Israel! :) I've been several places in the world, and so far, Israel is my favorite by far. Congrats on finishing your novel! My name is Jackie, and I would absolutely love to edit it for you. I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills and a hawk eye for detail. I also have a keen eye and ear for characterization, voice, flow, sentence structure, story arc, and plot. My passion is well-polished, great writing -- over the past year alone, I've edited more than twenty-five published works, including novels, nonfiction books, children's books, screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. I am currently a staff writer and editor with my city's monthly family magazine, and I have worked in the past as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. You mention that you like to keep writing that isn't exactly correct English sometimes for the sake of vernacular, and I totally get that. I will say that some of your examples go beyond vernacular usage and break the rules of punctuation -- I'd be glad to discuss with you more about how to write in vernacular while still being true to punctuation rules. I'm happy to edit your sample -- if you could start a chat with me, I'll upload it to you there! Thanks for your consideration.
