Dear Author: I would like to inquire to get a better understanding about your editing requirements. 1. Is it is fiction or nonfiction? 2. Do you need a substantive edit (developmental editing and comprehensive editing) , line edit, copy edit or just proofreading? 3. Is 6 days a suitable deadline? I have edited more than 50 books and offer the complete range of editing services. If you feel that I am the right editor for your book or if you want to inquire, you can message me and we can chat about your book in detail. I would love to help you get your book published as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and consideration. Zack Khan

Hi! I would love to check out your book. I believe the job of an editor is to give the writer a fresh set of eyes with which to view the work and perhaps offer perspectives not previously considered. You can actually check out my overall writing style and tone at scribassist.com. My approach to writing is based upon taking chances as far as being ultra creative and ultimately making a significant impact on that reading moment in a person's life! You have to be smart about how you utilize words and sentences; screen/page space is a precious commodity not to be wasted. Holding a PhD in English, I know that I can create dynamic text for you.

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! How are you? I understand that you need someone to write a book for you. As a Australia-based writer, I'm very interested in your project and would love to do the writing for you. Just name your topic/s and let's see how we can work it out. Thus, I'm placing a bid of $225 USD for a 25- to 28-page ebook to be completed within 10 days or less. This translates to about 9,000 words of well-written content. The ebook itself will contain its own copyright page and table of contents, as well as chapters and titles which have been formatted and hyperlinked for easy reading on both Word and Kindle. You'll have full rights to the entire ebook which will certainly be of good content and top quality. For samples on books and blogs I've written, please see my author page on Amazon.com. You may also check out my profile and portfolio here on Freelancer. I hope we can work on this project together. Just give me a heads-up and we can start on your ebook right away! Thank you.
