Hello,  I have written a mythological, historical and science fiction novel set in India, with a word count of 64,000. The story has strong influence of Hinduism, Yoga theories, Science theories and alien concepts in addition to great adventures. The setting is mainly based in India. I have given it for editing to a novice editor and she has done an acceptable job. My full manuscript was requested by several publishing houses and agents in India. However, most of them rejected my work. They said that my  story-telling will have to tighten and plot lines be neatened for publishing quality. So I decided to look for a professional help for a reasonable price. Please do let me know if you can help me. You can give suggestions for how we can work on this project if you are interested. I will attach my prologue and first chapter for you to assess the amount of work needed. Thanks

Hello, I consider myself a skilled writer that strives to make the customer happy and completely satisfied. Since I have excellent grammar and spelling capabilities, I am able to determine the concept that is trying to be shared by the customer. I then turn around and correct missing links or other errors and produce refreshed content that is plagiarism-free. No online rewriting tool is needed in this case. It is important to remember that the content of your business plan – not just the appearance – could be the first impression a prospective client may get. If the prospective customer receives a document that is full of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and inaccurate information it can give a poor impression of the presenting business. It would be my pleasure to help you get your content in optimal shape. Regards

Hi! I have gone through your project details on this novel proofreading. I'm detail oriented and eagle eyed, especially when it comes to proofreading for spelling, grammar, and punctuation using either American or British standards. I love helping writers to hone their work and elevate it to its highest potential. I will suggest changes to improve the clarity and flow of your text, but I work with a light hand to leave your distinctive voice and tone untouched. I treat all text with utmost respect for copyright and confidentiality. I work in Microsoft Word, and unless you request otherwise, I track changes. I am your best bet. To see some of my sample work, please knock!

Some examples of my previous work can be found in my portfolio, as well as a few tests I’ve taken on Freelancer to prove my capabilities.

If you send me a quick message requesting the sample, I’ll gladly attach it to demonstrate my capabilities.

Hello sir, Editing, rewriting, and proofreading are a huge part of what I do every day. Every writing assignment I take on must be grammatically correct and combed through for any possible mistake, and this is something I never take lightly. I do not accept subpar work. In fact, anything that needs correction is sent back to me to be tweaked until it is perfect. Additionally, I have excellent communication skills and easily take thorough instructions, ensuring that my clients are always satisfied with the quality of my work, and the requirements that have been set forth. Having the chance to tweak things and help a writing become perfect is a wonderful thing. Regards, Lily Gartman

Platform like CELTX could help us to craft a story. I will create the CELTX version, then edit from there. So we can assess it to make the story works. I don't mind to help you until you publish it. Relevant Skills and Experience I'm a short story and script writer. I learn literature and communication studies. My graduate research was about narrative structure of a movie trilogy.

I edited your first two paragraphs so that you can see my work. I do not see how to upload it here, so if you are interested, contact me in chat. I just yesterday finished a 60,000+ word anthology of short stories for a published author. We worked well together, communicated constantly, and he is very pleased. Even though I have finished the work, we are still discussing revisions. Along the way, he would ask me to read alternate endings or ask for suggestions; I was happy to provide any feedback. I know I went above and beyond, and I will do that for you, as well. Honestly, this is going to take a great deal of work, but I can do it. I bid at the top of your range because I do feel like many hours will be required to edit your piece, but we can discuss. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in history from The University of Texas at Arlington. This year marks my thirtieth teaching high school English; therefore, my revising and editing skills are excellent after assessing many, many papers. I’d love to help you with your book!

The project seems well-suited for me in more ways than one. Being a practising Hindu, reference to religion will be familiar territory for me. Further, having completed a full-time yoga course in the early 1990s and being active in the discipline I will be at home with references to asanas, pranayama etc. I am totally fluent in English which is my primary language. Certification in pedagogy and TEFL are an additional contributory factor towards my suitability to carry-out the required tasks. I am new to Freelancer and therefore, am bidding low. My intention is to build a record of excellence with numerous, varied projects which will allow me to compete more realistically in the future. I have read he prologue and have modified it as below. This will give you an idea of my level of competency and style. Prologue: Uttarkashi-India -June 14th Stretching over 1500 miles across the North Eastern portion and separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau, is one of the greatest mountain ranges known to the history of planet Earth. Derived from Sanskrit it goes by the name of Himalayas, the land covered with snow. The morning sun glided across the sky as a male snow leopard walked slowly through the Gangotri Glacier. The will of survival was visible in its eyes, even as its stomach rumbled with hunger. Seeking the scent of a possible prey, the leopard scanned the surrounding area. It shook its long tail and walked on the snow-covered terrain f
