I am looking for an editor for my third book in a series. The editor I have been working with for years has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and had to stop editing in order to focus on her health. I will need someone to edit two books (possibly a third when I update the first book I published). The challenge is to find someone who can fill her shoes. As of now I've taken this book as far as I can. Presently, the manuscript is 245 pages with 76086 words in Times New Roman (12pt font/double spaced) and for sake of uniformity the edits will need to be done in Chicago Style with citations. Its a nonfiction spiritual book titled "The Universal One" Some things to note, my first book is going to be re-released as a second edition, but the present iteration of it can be found here: [login to view URL] I prefer someone who lives local (within an hour's drive), but also open to communicating through email/telephone if I feel you are the right candidate for the job. This is an immediate for hire contract job.

"Hi, An experienced and skilled writer with impeccable grammar skill, strong visual awareness, and insists on spelling perfection, you can rest assured that anytime I edit, proofread, and analyze a document of any size it will be returned in tip-top shape and free from errors. Grammatical perfection is a necessity in a finished document, and I will analyze, modify, revise, and reword as necessary so you will be left with a superior finished product. I also do all my editing, proofing, and rewriting manually without the use of any online rewriting programs. When quality counts, contact me. Best regards, Hoffman"

am a qualified, professional and experienced editor with over a decade of experience and a love of sci-fi / fantasy / historical fiction. I have an MA in creative writing and work full-time mentoring authors either through agencies or independently I am not a proofreader but a developmental editor (aka substantive, structural, stylistic, content or line editing). I look at things like structure, pacing, plot, tone, character development, target audience suitability etc. I act as a mentor to authors who want to develop their storytelling skills. This differs from proofreading / copy-editing which mainly looks for technical errors in the text. WHY DO YOU NEED AN EDITOR? Whether you are planning on self-publishing or submitting to an agent/publisher it is really important to make your book the best it can be before you send it off. Sharing your work with others and getting feedback is a must as often an author is so close to their own work that they can't see where it needs a little help. Friends and family can be great support but when it comes to industry level constructive criticism you need someone with knowledge and experience. This is where I come in. The fiction market is extremely hard to get into and although I can't promise specific results I can help you improve your writing, avoid basic pitfalls and get you nearer the top. You don't want to put months or years into a project only to get bad reviews
