I have a fictional manuscript needed to be proofread. The best editor will be someone who is thorough, honest and able to provide constructive criticisim pertinent my writing style. Here is a brief example. Lush vegetation concealed Yaegar's misdeed. Obstinate, he awaited the moment his brother would exhale his final breath. Yaalon lay near Yaegar's feet, gurgling as blood filled his lungs and trailed down the sides of his mouth. He was confused and frightened as he reached out for aid. “You want my help?” Fading, his brother nodded weakly. “Of course you do.” Looking in the face which mirrored his own, the bitter twin gripped the protruding arrow’s shaft and thrust it deeper into Yaalon's heaving chest. Writhing in pain, he released a spine chilling scream before his soul escaped its tormented dwelling, leaving it limp on the river bank. Once convinced death was certain, Yaegar’s contemptuous smile broadened while he retrieved the fatal arrow. He stripped his victim and rolled the bare corpse into the stream. As the current carried the remains toward the sea, Yaegar washed his face in the water streaked with his brother's blood. He cleaned his arrow, dried it with a portion of stolen cloth and returned it to his arsenal. As he headed home, the kudu down river failed to react as Yaegar approached. With a spring in his step, he bellowed, “That's right, enjoy today, for you will live.” His family was expecting to feast in celebration upon their return, but Yaegar knew there would only be sorrow. Tonight, the king and queen were to announce Yaalon as heir to the throne. Too bad their favorite son would never be seen again. Just before reaching the compound, he threw himself into mud and tumbled in dirt, mangled his clothes and sprinted miles to break into a sweat. As he passed the guards, he pretended to be weak, nearly faint and they rushed him into the king's study. “Yaegar!” his father exclaimed. “What happened to you?” “I tried to find him.” “Who?” “Yaalon Father. We separated to track kudu. I heard his screams and ran to help, but never reached him. I've been searching for hours and all I discovered was this.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a remnant of Yaalon's 's hunting shirt. His father snatched the frayed cotton and held the dried blood of his second son against his face. He moaned and wailed so long, Yaegar bowed before his father and wept with him.

Hi This looks like a really compelling extract - drop me a message and I'll send you a full edit on MS Word as an attachment. My general comments from a linguistic point of view is that it needs some work on noun substitution and repetition - a bit of consistency work too, with regards to the presentation of speech. Obviously, style-wise, I wouldn't be able to pass comment until I've seen a larger section of the manuscript. A bit about me: 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'm not sure if you're planning KDP-style release or something more formal, but I can help with both. Get in touch to discuss the project in more detail with regards to your deadline and the project fee (I quote based on word count). I am more than happy to answer any questions and get that sample over to you. Many Thanks Simon Richardson

**Word count required Hi, I can do a great job with editing your manuscript. 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. Having read the sample I can see several areas where I can help you, including typos, run-on sentences, capitalization, and over-use of adjectives and cliched phrasing. You can expect clear and honest editorial feedback on your writing, with changes shown using Track Changes and comments added to explain those changes, and a critique generally on the writing, characterization and plot. I’ll proofread for errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation. 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 What is the word count of your novel (or story), please? We would have to discuss your exact requirements before we agree on a budget and duration for the project. Please get in touch when you can to talk it over, and I'm sure we can come to an agreement. For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

Hello! I’m Deborah, an experienced editor/proofreader, and delighted to edit & proofread your novel! You say too that you would like “constructive criticism” — a structural edit. I am happy to do that as well. You’d then be sure the novel’s structural elements, including its writing style, really hang together, to maximize its impact on your readers. I’ll quote for a structural edit plus two copy edits & a final proofread (these last three using Track Changes), so its grammar/spelling/punctuation etc will be taken care and it is error free. You can check the novel after both copy edits, as I normally have questions to help me clarify things. You may also want to make some additions/changes. I’m a native English speaker (University educated with English majors), fluent in and an expert in written English Samples 5-6 in my Freelancer Portfolio display my editing skill using Track Changes. A recent review for a memoir says: “Deborah did a stellar job. She's an excellent, very professional, editor. I appreciate her attention to detail and her communication during the process.” Using a double copy edit + a proofread allows the job to be completed properly without skimping on quality. I look at different things in both edits, which makes the writing much more polished overall. With sensitivity to the text and a thoroughly professional standard, I aim to make my clients happy! Regards Deborah PS Can you tell me the word count so I can bid more accurately please?

The author of eight published novels and a collection of short stories, I have over ten years' editing experience. In that time, I have worked with all kinds of different writers - from first-time authors and the self-published to the far more established - writing in all kinds of different genres: literary, historical, crime/thriller, romance, YA, sci-fi/fantasy etc. Familiar with all publishing industry standards, I will edit your manuscript in three stages. Firstly, a basic edit to eradicate any typos, grammatical lapses etc. Secondly, a more creative edit focusing on sentence structure, word choice/flow, content etc. And thirdly, a final turn through to ensure that your work has that essential professional polish. From the extract provided, I feel that your writing has a nice flow to it, but is perhaps in need of pruning here and there, to make your sentences more compact and flow better. Additional info: I use Track Changes in Word, can make a start right away, and would be happy to offer any advice you require in regards to approaching agents or publishers.

Hi There, I have read your description and also read your brief example. I have edited it for you to have a look. Beside normal editing, I have also added a a little more description of the kudu to give a hint to readers the type of animal it is. I am unable to upload the whole edited sample here. Please start a chat for me to upload my sample so that you can view my edits (tracked changes) and decide if I fit your style of a professional editor. Regards, Hemina

You write well. However, your flow is not entirely silky. For a general audience, a more relaxed style is needed. That means certain words and phrases should be less formal-sounding. Your lead sentence, "Lush vegetation concealed Yaegar's misdeed," would engage a reader's attention more if it were "Lush greenery hid Yaegar's violence." Then the word "Obstinate" slows things down. A better choice might be "Callously" or "Unyielding." Depending on how obstinate you are regarding such suggestions, I think we can work well together. I've edited more than a dozen books. My 38 years in journalism taught me a thing or two about clarity, accuracy, and the creative use of language. I would enjoy enhancing your story. Let me do it! -- David Gaskill
