Hi. I can help with your novel. I´m an American writer, editor and proofreader of academic and literary texts and books, a native English speaker currently living in Brazil (so I also speak Portuguese, if that is useful), with excellent language skills and years of experience at correcting and improving texts for authors from around the world. I can edit your manuscript, using Word´s Track Changes to show you my corrections of English spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure, and including suggestions for improving what you´ve written without altering your own personal style. During the past year, I have edited 2 supernatural thrillers, a musician´s biography, a collection of romantic short stories, the tale of a Chinese monk´s search for enlightenment, and several self-help books now available on Amazon (Intuition and Success, The Thin Prediabetic, Simple Rule of the Day: 365(+1) Actionable Tools for a Better You, etc.), as well as many shorter texts. I would be glad to do a free sample edit of the text of your choice (up to 300 words) as a demonstration of the quality of my work. I charge a basic fixed rate of $10 USD per 1000 words, so my normal proce for 56k words would be $560, but I can work within your budget of $350. I may need up tio 3 weeks to complete the job, since I have other permanent commitments which occupy part of my time. Please contact me to put the finishing touches on your writing and get it ready for publishing. Thanks, David
