I am a qualified proofreader (PTC with Merit) and in final stages of training as a copy editor with the Society for Editors & Proofreaders. I have proof-edited several books for publishers and authors and recently completed the editing of a novel for an author from India. Feedback on all of my work has been excellent, particularly mentioning that I go over and above to do a good job, provide added value, am very thorough and have an eye for detail.
I particularly pride myself on doing an excellent job, my reliability and meeting tight deadlines. I can provide an editing and proofreading service in Word with tracked changes or in PDF using comment boxes. I am comfortable working in either UK or US English and am used to working with authors whose first language is not English. If you need it, I can develop a style guide, line edit, suggest improvements on consistency, style, formatting, layout, design etc.
As there is no indication within your project description of how many pages or words you novel contains, I have based my bid on 50 hours' work. As my services are often in demand, I have given myself 20 days to complete the project and could commence work by 29 April.
I would be interested to know more about your novel and am happy to edit a sample of it to show the service I can provide.
