Hi, I'm Rohan and I'm ideally suited for this project. I am an extremely skilled and proficient editor and proof reader, with a bachelors degree in Literature. I’ve spent the past four years of my life working for various organizations, newspapers and journals in this capacity. I am especially skilled in editing novels and fictional works because I've worked in publishing houses like Penguin Random House and Oxford University Press, and thus am well versed in book editing by industry standards. My services include: Editing in any style UK/ US. I make sure that there are no grammatical or spelling errors. I work on the sentence structure and word usage. Make sure there is language consistence Make sure of narrative and dialogic consistency Make sure of character consistency Make sure to look into any plot holes Rewrite whole passages if necessary Correct 'technical' errors Run a fact check for anything verifiable online As per industry standards I use 'TrackChanges' in MSWord so you have the option to verify all the changes made. I also offer a running commentary in separate comment bubbles, explaining the 'heavier' edits. (OPTIONAL) Other than these I also offer additional services if you wish to avail of them: Rewriting the entire story from scratch while retaining the essence of the work. Critically reviewing the short story. P.S. My bid is subject to change depending on the word count.

I will provide you with 2 MSWord files upon completion, first one with the highlighted proofread version( so that you can figure out the proofreading) and the second with the accepted changes version (the final document).
