Hi! I'd love to check out your memoir! I've ghostwritten about two dozen memoirs and have edited more than that. I have actually worked on a couple of religious/spiritual based life stories as well. 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 my site: 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.

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 comprehensive developmental and linguistic editing services that comprise 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. Get in touch to discuss the project in more detail with regards to your deadline. I am more than happy to provide a sample if you want to get an idea of my work, and I am free to start straight away. Thank you for your time. Many Thanks Simon Richardson

Hi! Consider this bid a placeholder until I get a chance to take a look at your manuscript and can give you a more accurate quote, at which time I can revise accordingly. I would love to work with you to help reshape and developmentally edit your work. As a former preacher myself (before determining that academics were a better fit, and since having transitioned to writing and editing full-time), I can help you share your experiences in a way that better connect with audiences. Please reach out so we can discuss further. I'm happy to share samples of previous relevant work and answer any questions you might have for me. Thanks for your time, and I look forward to hopefully talking more soon!

Hi - I'd be happy to help you find plot holes and improve pacing, setting and characterization in your memoir. First off, 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. 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 IELTS (writing) in Cairo. PS2. These are some of the books I have edited: 'The Shoebox' by Tracy Ploch (adventure) 'Hiding in the Shade' by Kathryn Wiseman (self-help) 'The Opposite Effect', ‘The Project Principle: How to Create Singularity of Purpose and Scale Your Company Exponentially’ and ‘The Future of Selling’ by Steve Claydon (business development)

Hi! I’m Deborah, a professional editor and delighted to developmentally edit for you. I’ll give you a written critique focusing on the memoir’s strengths and weaknesses. In the process I’ll discuss issues such as structure, your development and motivation as the ‘protagonist’, the realism of the dialogue, the embedding of the theme in the memoir, the use of Christian theology, the pace of the plot’s unfolding, the use of tension – and whatever else seems relevant. I am an experienced and skilled editor who does developmental edits as well as the more common line edit. My skill grew out of writing critical essays on works of literature from my University days. The writers I have done this for have been very appreciative of my analysis. I don’t have a sample of this work in my Freelance Portfolio unfortunately, but my non-fiction line-editing skill is displayed in Samples 1-4 and 7 and Samples 5 & 6 for fiction. Is your audience those who are already Christians – or people who might be more inclined to become Christians after reading this? If it is the latter, I will be of particular use to you. I gather from your List of Skills that you want a proofread done too, so I suggest a proofread + the developmental edit. If you’d like to check the memoir in between, let me know. Could you let me know the word count and if you have any time-frame requirements – so I can bid realistically, please? I always work carefully & thoroughly and aim to make my clients happy! Regards Deborah

Because I have substantial journalism and novel editing experience I know I can help you effectively evaluate the content of your book. My 38-year newspaper career taught me not only how to find and correct errors but to research and check all facts in a story, whether it be about finance, municipal doings or entertainment. I interviewed such jazz greats as Dave Brubeck, Bob James (who wrote the theme for "Taxi") and Maynard Ferguson and wrote about them. The dozen books I've edited include thrillers, romance novels, children's stories, self-help guides and spirituality explorations. Send me a sample of your memoir to edit for FREE and see what I can do for you. Thanks! -- David Gaskill

Hello there, I am a native English speaker, writer, editor, and proofreader. I have experience editing a diversity of writings such as blog posts, fiction books, and PhD theses. If you were to award me your project, I would like to start with a short interview to establish an understanding of your intention and focus for this memoir. I would then take a little time to read through what you have written, referring back to notes I would have made during our chat. From there, I would have an idea of where you may need to make changes. - I will make suggestions but it should remain your work, with your voice coming through. We may need to have further discussions about some of this as the edit progresses. I have allocated 20 days for this as I don't yet know how the length of your story. This may need to be adjusted. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you. Regards, Monica

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'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
