I am in the finishing stages of a novel (70,000 words) about a stay-at-home mom struggling to find a friend to spend her days with. She attends different events in her search to find a best friend that really gets her. Throughout her journey, she comes to terms with the fact that she's depressed. It takes finding a friend and almost losing her son to really find out who she is now after becoming a mom. I need some help with some grammatical errors, as well as with things like tense and making sure the book is relatable. I think I want to self-publish on Amazon Kindle, but may be open to other options if I have someone to guide me. I want to find someone that believes in my book and will help me realize its potential.

Hi I'm an independent editor with 10 years' experience, a Master's in Linguistics and a background as a lecturer in English and Creative Writing. I provide a comprehensive editing service that comprises thorough grammatical and lexical checks as well as flow, consistency, layout, style and tone. My edits are in MS Word with all changes tracked, and I always submit a draft in advance of any agreed deadline, so you have a chance to review and come back to me with questions at no extra cost. I also provide critiques and assistance with publication if required - I see you mentioned Amazon; I have helped several people with prep and publication for KDP so I can certainly give you some advice and help here. Get in touch to discuss the project in more detail with regards to your deadline and any questions you have for me. I'm happy to provide a sample, of course. Thank you for your time. Simon Richardson

I am a published author of fiction myself, so I well understand the challenges that a narrative can throw up and how to navigate through them. I currently have two novels under consideration with UK publishers. Plus, I have been freelancing as an editor/proofreader for the last 17 years with excellent results. During this time I have had the opportunity to edit several works of fiction; indeed, my last assignment was to edit a fantasy novel for a first time author. So you can rely upon me for doing a thorough job of both editing the book and offering advice on how to make it better.

Hi, I have assisted several new writers bringing their idea into print. I am quite impressed with your idea and see it can be developed into a biopic type of story. The story can cover everything from the places the lead character visits to the new things she is trying to do like learning swimming, changing her style trying to fit it and so on. I can incorporate all the ideas you give. It will take a fortnight to complete or a month. I am really eager to work with you.

I would love to be considered for your book. I am a mother and grandmother. I have mostly done work on translations, as in making sure the sentence structure is correct and the translations make sense. I'm an avid reader and passionate about language, but am only newly qualified, so do tend to take a little bit longer as I double and triple check my own work to make sure you get a quality result. One of my favourite authors has let me practice on her books, books that have since been published. I prefer to work in Word and will convert other documents to Word. In Word all changes are tracked, so you would also be able to see what I have done and any suggestions that we can discuss.

Hello, I am very interested in working with you and your novel. I have over three years of editing experience, editing a wide range of texts, including novels. Editing is something that I am very passionate about. I love working in the background, while still making sure a work meets its full potential. I enjoy making sure every comma is in place, every word is correct, and everything in between. Working with structure is fun for me. I'm a writer and currently have a book with agent interest. Because of this, I excel at giving honest and solid critiques. I know what works in a story and what doesn't, as both a reader and a writer. I understand different style choices. I know the rules of writing, and I know when they can and should be broken. I'm a passionate writer, who loves editing just as much. I want to help make your manuscript as good as it can be. I believe that open communication is key to editing manuscripts. You need to be able to reach me with questions, and I need to be able to talk with you about feedback. I will be available when you need me to make sure we are always on the same page. I know that a book needs a good editor, and I believe I can be this for you and your work. Thanks, Caryn
