Hey there I'm an experienced independent editor based in Leeds. I used to be an English teacher and lecturer in Creative Writing, so editing was a natural career path for me to take and I have since worked on well over a hundred publications. I have a Master's in Linguistics and studied metaphysical poetry as part of my BA way back when, so I am very familiar with the conventions of anthology publications, as well as my main specialism being language; grammar, spelling, syntax and choice of language. All my edits are presented as MS Word tracked changes and I am entirely flexible with deadlines. Get in touch and I'll be happy to talk through this all with you and look at a sample together. Many Thanks Simon Richardson

Hi, I can do a great job with editing your poetry. I currently run my own editing business, where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, poetry, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Managed an editing and proofreading service for several years I have put in a fairly low bid in order to be competitive on Freelancer, but please don't wonder if this will affect the quality of the work. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done to a high standard by your deadline or sooner. For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ I will: - Check your poems for UK spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors, without impinging on your poetical voice - Assist with flow/clarity of ideas and imagery - Assist with structure - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please note that poetry is obviously very subjective and personal. I'd aim to fix any fundamental errors in spelling, grammar (where it isn't an apparently stylistic choice) and imagery (mixed or broken metaphors/similies), and I would try to draw out the meaning and themes on your poems if they aren't clear. Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

As a writer, proofreading and editing are must-have skills without which survival becomes very difficult in the competitive world we live. I find myself blessed with these skills and proudly state that my success in writing is owing to these two amazing skills. I firmly believe I have a good grip on grammar, punctuation, and sentence construction to catch mistakes and errors in one good read. Hence, I think I am suitable for any job pertaining to proofreading or editing a copy written by someone else. I will be waiting for your reply. Thanks

Hi, I'm interested in editing your poetry book. What's your subject matter? What kind of poetry is it (i.e., rhyming, free verse, blank verse)? How many poems are there? I have published 3 books of my own poetry and had several poems published in anthologies. I teach poetry to adults and children. I have edited and critiqued other poets' work - including rhyming children's books. I question "easy read" as I find it takes more time to work with rhyme, rhythm, meter, form and emotional content than it does with prose. I'm a university-educated native Engish speaker. I have lots of general experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. I would use track changes & offer comments. Please see the reviews and portfolio on my profile page. I can send you a list of recently-edited projects and direct you to some of my work online if you like.

Bang! Boom! Sizzle! Are those the attributes words must have to make a poem rock the house and bring tears, laughter, smiles or softness into the hearts of readers? Yes, but there is so much more to it than that. Imagery is key to evoking a core response. Musicality of language strokes the strings of the imagination. Balance and flow make the pudding melt deliciously in the subconscious mind. These are some of the things I employ in my own poetry. Here's a little winter poem I wrote that bares these bones: "Blue shadow boas/writhe across snow/and coolly strangle/the Doric porch column." Send me a poem to edit for FREE and see if we can form a symbiotic relationship -- David Gaskill

Are you looking for an experienced, reliable and approachable native English proofreader/editor for your academic or business document? I work in both British/World and US English, particularly with non-native English speakers worldwide. Rewriting is another strong part of my experience. I'm a professional editor and a published author. I've been trained in this field and have worked for magazines and publishing houses. You will be hiring a true professional. Plus, I sincerely love what I do! I am happy to simply proofread (catch errors), but I also enjoy in-depth editing, which involves improving readability, offering suggestions and restructuring when necessary. If your project needs careful fact-checking and an eagle eye for eliminating typos and correcting spelling and grammatical errors, I would be happy to help. Kind Regards, Anthony Gorman

Writing an eBook is quick, easy, cheap to produce and potentially more profitable. As far as publishing goes, it’s not complicated at all. eBooks are an authoritative content marketing tool that can dramatically increase the exposure of your brand. However, the chance of success with your eBook greatly depends on it’s content, quality, and design. A great e-book can serve myriad purposes. You can use it to educate your target audience, promote your products and services, or to simply share your thoughts and vision with the online world through content-rich E-books. I can take your drafted eBook ideas from amateur to professional grade under the keen eye of my expertise. As a professional freelance writer, I have years of experience in writing or rewriting short story & eBooks. Regards,
