I will edit up to a 5000 word sample of your book try before you buy
Experienced copyeditor, proofreader: meticulous attention to detail
About this Gig
Hi, welcome to my SAMPLE Book Proofreading and Editing gig.
Is your book completed? Is it still a work-in-progress? Do you have doubts about whether it is written to the required standard?
Why wait until it is finished before discovering whether you have been using punctuation and grammar correctly?
Using my skills as an editor and proofreader, I will analyse a sample of your book, or the first few chapters (up to 5000 words), giving you a report of its current condition and highlighting any errors.
I will identify and correct:
· Spellings, Punctuation, Grammar, Syntax, Typos
· Spacing
· Font and sizing
· Capitalisation
· Word choice, Idioms, Dialogue
· Tone, Flow, Clarity of meaning, Tense consistency
You will receive your original MS Word document showing all corrections and comments. You also receive a "clean" copy with all changes included within it. Additionally, you receive a critique highlighting any issues that I find so that you can correct them before continuing with your writing.
If you like the quality of my service, I can edit the completed book at a later date (see my other gigs).
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
My book is not finished yet - is this a problem?
No. That is the aim of this gig. Rather than wait until the entire MS is written, submit a few chapters, get feedback on your writing style and use of English grammar/punctuation, then implement my suggestions in the remainder of your writing. Your writing improves as a result.
What if I have completed my whole book?
That's not a problem. You can submit a section for analysis, or I have other gigs to edit the entire book.
What format do I need to submit my text in?
Ideally, I work with MS Word, so .doc or .docx format. I add suggestions and corrections using Track Changes which will be visible to you. I can use Google Docs in a similar way, but Word is preferred. Contact me for more info.
Do you only work in English?
Yes. I can edit in any version of English - Just let me know if it's UK or US or any other variation of English.
I have special requirements regarding Style Guides, etc. Can you help?
Yes. Just let me know your preferred style preferences before you book.
Do you have a queue of orders waiting?
It will depend day-to-day, so I suggest that you contact me BEFORE booking in order to confirm that there will be no delays. I can also answer any questions that you may have, at the same time.
