Proof Read and Edit a Children's Book

Hi, I think it's great that your daughter is writing! I started around that age and now I have novels and stories published, so it's great to see more people getting into the world of writing! I can do a really great job with your editing. I currently run my own editing business, where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, 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 - Current editing and proof reading service for several years For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ Because your daughter is 11, I really want to be encouraging and supporting. Editing can be brutal sometimes, so unless you suggest otherwise, I would want to correct all 'errors' and then make merely gentle suggestions on things such as character, originality and structure (if necessary). I will be honest about mistakes, but at 11, I wouldn't want to trample on her creativity and discourage her. I'll be gentle. I'll also add developmental comments. I will: - Check your daughter's story for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors - Make *gentle* suggestions for overall story improvements - Work to your specifications and deadlines Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

Hello I am very impressed as your daughter has achieved something it took me another thirty years to do! I will leave my bid as given and continue our discussion via the instant messenger. As you have discovered, I do all the work myself so you would have direct contact with the editor rather than having it edited by someone more remote. Regards David Dundas

Congratulations to your daughter for completing her first story! If you view my profile you will see that I registered with Freelancer in February this year and I have 20 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. Having been a teacher of English in high school for several years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For six years I have been a member of a children's writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted and occasionally writing my own. Most of the members of this group have had at least one story published. I recently edited a 65,000-word science fiction novel and the client was very satisfied with the result. I am currently proofreading another science fiction story, this one for children. The client asked me to do a test proofread on one chapter, after which she hired me, saying, "I loved what you have done". Other recent work has included rewriting a 24,500-word book to change it from a children's book to one suitable to be read by adults, and the result was described by the client as "perfect". A second book for this client, this time 35,000 words, restructuring the chapters as well as proofreading the content, was also "perfect". (These jobs were via Elance.) I have worked with individual clients to bring 12 books to publication, one author being a teenager who had written her first novel.
