I am writing a fictional novel, but with a lot of historical facts, I need a proofread/editor to help with the construction.
Whilst I don’t need a ghost writer, I do need help and advice,
Secondly, any editors with knowledge and contacts with publishers and publishing novels, and contacts with agents, will be useful.
The novel, is based on a Soldier who time travels, from Modern day to 1532 and back, in order save the monarchy, and has to avoid setting paradox’s.
Obviously it is fictional, but I have discovered previously never published historical facts and places, which add great “wow” factors, raise curiosity and gives immense credibility to the book.
The story, plot, characters and concept is totally unique and original, but the facts that I have raised are genuinely “dan brown style” discoveries.
I am looking for someone who is genuinely interested in English History and Fictional Novels, that have a bite and punch, that makes the reader really think and ask questions.
Please only Editors from UK, USA, Can and Aus, must have references and proof of ability.
Please reply for further information
Thanks
Hello, with over 12 years experience in educational publishing, an English degree, and contacts in trade publishing, I can provide the expertise you are seeking. Let's discuss in your PM at your convenience.
I am extremely interested in completing this project for you. Albeit that I am new to freelancing I will give any project I am assigned the same dedication and professionalism that I have given to all my writing, communication and editorial projects throughout my 25 years as a professional Technical Communicator. I possess a MA degree in Technical Communication and English. If selected for this project I can start immediately and your novel will be completely reviewed, updated and amended accordingly.
Hi,
It sounds like a big project so I have put in the maximum bid. Please can you let me know the word count for the novel? I can provide you with editing and feedback and advice on publishers. I have written and published two books myself, and have had many short stories published in literary magazine throughout the world. I also have a masters degree and over six years of experience as a freelance writer/editor.
Regards,

Hello,
I am an experienced writer with a postgraduate degree in creative writing. I also have a BA in history, and a particular interest in the Early Modern period. I will include more details with evidence of my writing in a PM.
I am highly interested in this project. It is the sort of writing I love to do.
I am a retired English teacher, so have good grammar and editing skills. I give good attention to all my writing.
I have written two historical novels, though am still in the revising process and haven't presented for publication yet.
I will attach a sample of my writing. Please see the PMB.
I love historical fiction. I'm also a sci-fi nut. I would love a chance to proofread your book. As a member of a Contracts Dept., proofreading was part of my daily job. Please consider me for this post.
Dear davenportuk,
I am a native English professional Editor, based in Italy (with Skype etc).
I've based my bid on the word-count of similar Dan Brown-esque novels c.100,000-125,000 words, so it is on the high side, but I'm open to negotiation (and also flexible with deadlines).
And you do get what you pay for :o)
Although I am a newbie here, I have over 10 years' experience as a Senior Editor, including published books; factual and fiction and in-between. I develop strong relationships with all my authors. I think we would make a forbidable team, afterall, you need an Editor not another writer (who makes mistakes just in their 2-line bids).
I also studied Henry VIII/Tudor history and have maintained my interest in/knowledge of this fascinating period, so your project would be a joy for me.
Please pitchfork the competition and elect me to the Star Chamber... you will not be disappointed :o)

Hello, I am a visiting student at the University of Cambridge, and doing my Undergraduate studies at SASTRA University, India. I have been the editor for my college magazine for the past 2 years.
Hello,
Whilst I am not from the countries mentioned by you, I am being bold enough to bid here.
The other factor is that most of my work has been offline, so you would not find many reviews here.
I am a Major in Western History, as well as an avid reader.
If you don't think it inconvenient, please put up a sample of the work you would like edited, and perhaps you could judge better.
Thank you.
im a new freelancer bidder and based on my ability and knowledge i honestly beleive that i can give you the best you are looking for, god is with me..thank you
I am an editor, writer and published author. I hold a MA in Creative Writing and have been working as editor and literary scout with international publishers for the past ten year. Do you need developmental editing or line by line editing?
If you send me a synopsis and the first ten pages of your novel, I would be happy to show you how I work.
Hello,
I am a UK based content writer and would be interested in filling this position for you.
Please view my profile to view my credentials for this job.
I understand I am a new member on Freelancer but I need to build my Freelancer portfolio and as a result I have reflected this in the price I have offered.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hey, I am a high performing English and History student, final year of high school at a selective school in Wollongong, Australia.
While I may not have the qualifications others may have, I can do this at a much lower price, I'm sure, and I certainly have the interest - your concept sounds excellent.
Why not give me a go?
My only experience, unfortunately, is being the editor of practically each and every one of the assessment tasks my friends have completed for the last 3 years. Other than this, I have read a huge variety of texts, have a wide general knowledge, and a willingness to learn.
Thank you for your time, Jesse.
Hi. I am an English Teacher currently working in the CEE region teaching at various professional institutions and am always moonlighting as an Editor/proofreader in my spare time. Please see your PM for further details. Thanks and well done in getting this far (writing a novel is NOT easy!).
