Hi, my name is Lara and I am copy/line editor, proofreader, and writer. I just joined Freelancer today so despite having no work history on my profile yet, please don't let that deter you from hiring me. I believe I am the best candidate for this position for three main reasons:
Firstly, I edit books for a living, including ebooks, and in a range of genres. Often as an editor, an author or publisher requires me to go through their book with scrupulous detail and make improvements so that it is ready for the publishing stage. The online publishing world is a very competitive arena. Ebooks need to meet certain criteria so that the book (and its 20% sample) catch the consumer's attention and persuade them to hit that buy button! Due to my experience, I know I can take your current books and make them shine so that they have a much better chance of selling.
Secondly, I have both relevant industry experience and qualifications. I have worked for Australian and international publishers, and have a BA in Creative Writing and advanced certificates in Editing and Fiction Writing.
Thirdly, I am in Australia too! The publishers and clients I currently edit manuscripts for are located all over the world (and I really enjoy that diversity in my profession), but it would also be nice to work for someone closer to home. :-)
Please check out my profile and contact me if you have any questions. I hope to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Lara
