Hello,
Is your book written for the general public or a specialist audience? Will it be used as a textbook?
As your editor, my goal would be to presernt your writing as clearly as possible, using a style and vocabulary suitable for your audience. I would check and correct the formatting to ensure it is consistent throughout your book, correct the grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, sentence structure and paragraphing, fix repeated and overused words, reduce unnecessary redundancy, fix sentences that are too long, hard to understand, or awkward, write transitions as needed, and ensure that your text flows well. I will not change the meaning of your text in any way. If I have any questions, I'll contact you for clarification.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Webb, and I’m a professional editor with 36 years' experience, which includes working on thesis papers at the PhD level, peer-reviewed journal articles, non-fiction books, and textbooks. My Bachelor's degree is in English. I use Microsoft Word with the Track Changes feature turned on.
Here at Freelancer.com, my work has earned a 4.9 out of 5 rating from my 162 clients, as shown at https://www.freelancer.com/u/jw010699.html. Clients have commented, "This is my third time working with Julie. I definitely recommend her," “Julie does excellent and professional work,” and "This was really excellent work. I will hire her again."
I would enjoy editing your manuscript and hope to hear from you soon.
