Hi I'm an experienced editor and university lecturer in Creative Writing. I have edited well over 100 novels in the last 10 years, providing a comprehensive service that covers linguistic accuracy (spelling, grammar, punctuation) and literary focus (character development, layout, tone, style, consistency). I have a Master's in English Language and Linguistics, so you can expect nothing less than perfection from me in my editing, which I provide as a Microsoft Word tracked-changes document. Obviously, with short stories, the key is to ensure that a good arc is in place despite a reduced word count - I can certainly help with this. Deadline-wise, I am completely flexible so let me know what you're looking for. I like to provide a draft in advance of your end date so that you have plenty of time to review and ask questions. I look forward to hearing from you and answering any further questions you might have. Many Thanks Simon Richardson

Hi - I'd be happy to proofread your short stories as I'm a professional English proofreader with extensive experience in linguistics and writing. I've helped a lot of clients polish and refine their manuscripts (fiction and non-fiction), business documents, books, novels, novellas, ebooks, short stories, blog posts, articles, presentations, etc. Besides ensuring a document is error free, I pay attention to clarity and coherence, i.e. transitions between ideas. To ensure privacy, I never discuss or distribute the contents of my potential projects but I may keep a copy of your document on file for a period of 48 hours in the event that you need further editing of future revisions. The finished product will include two copies of the edited text, one that shows the changes (a copy with MS Word Track Changes on), and one that incorporates all of the changes made. PS. I also hold a BA in English Language and Literature and currently teach TOEFL and ‘Academic IELTS’ in Cairo. I really look forward to working on your project.

Hello, I am a highly-skilled writer who has strong visual awareness, exemplary grammar and spelling knowledge, and the ability to analyze and modify. When it comes to missing links and correcting errors, look no further. Remember, your content could be a first impression. If you send out material that is riddled with misspellings, grammatical errors, and wrong information, you aren’t going to be presenting a good image of your business? Here is the summary what you have requested. Task: Proofreader in English Short Summary: Proofread 38000 words Proposed Deadline: 3 days Let’s get that content in tip-top shape today.

Hi there! I’m Deborah and I’d be delighted to proofread your short stories for you! I am very used to working with literature and in fact, I prefer working with literature. Samples 5 & 6 in my Freelancer Portfolio are from novels I’ve edited and display my editing/proofreading skill. In one of his reviews, one of my novelists said “She is the best!! This is my third time hiring her. She does everything in her capacity to make your books perfect. She is very good at doing her job. I will continue to hire her future.” I will of course ensure that your spelling & grammar are error-free. I will apply my usual sensitivity to any awkward word choices, so your stories are very vivid & alive. I will also consider sentence flow & readability – so important for all stories, especially those that have to weave their magic in a short time-frame. I always work with an awareness of structural drive and an appreciation of motivation & character. I will certainly respect the worlds the stories create and work within them. I work carefully and thoroughly and aim to make my clients happy! I suggest a double proofread. If you would like to check/add to/alter the stories after the first proofread, you’re welcome to! You might find yourself looking at them with fresh (and revealing) eyes. I would do the final proofread after that. I’ve allowed 10 days for this, because I will be away from 20 March for 3 weeks and not able to work as much then as I can here at home. Regards Deborah
