This is my first book so i'm looking for someone to provide advice about layout and structure such as where each poem should be placed in the book so its an enjoyable and easy read. Ideally someone who has experience in this genre of books but if your new and your work is good then i'm happy with whoever comes up with the best layout. Looking forward to your replies. So sorry I had to close and re-post as i attached the whole book and not a sample, PLEASE RE BID!

Hello! I'm a published author and freelance writer/editor of nearly ten years. I studied Advanced Fiction Writing and Writing & Editing Essentials. As both an author and an editor, I tend to pay extra attention to detail in my three step editing process. You will be sure to receive a beautifully polished manuscript with proper edits and editorial comments in the margins to help shape your craft. I help you to develop each character individually, make sure that all parts of the plot weave perfectly, and ensure the overall tone of the story is geared towards the right audience. You can view my established profile on this website, Elance, and Odesk. If you have any questions, please let me know! Thanks! Candace Osmond

Hello starlily - I am a freelance proofreader based in Essex. I have previously written and self-published my own book which looks at symbolism so I understand exactly the trials and tribulations which come with writing a book. You will also be able to see, through my profile, that I have three concurrent projects ongoing which should prove evidence enough I am not a new and unknown Freelancer member. In any case, please forward me any queries and I look forward to worrking with you should you choose my bid. Thanks - Harry.
