I have written a 37,000 word book on health & nutrition and need help in the editing/structuring of it. Whoever that edits it will be great if you have a science background as well as a knack for seeing what's written that's non-essential. I am great at getting my ideas out but flow is also something that I would need assistance with. The book is broken down into five areas. there is a history section, exercise section, nutrition section, biochemistry section, and change psychology section. It is in a rough draft so some elements of it are missing. The ideal candidate would: -have a science background -have experience in non-fiction writing -have somewhat of a interest in health/fitness -Be able to do multiple revisions until the book is complete -Have knowledge of Scrivener is awesome but not a must

Hi, I'm a professional South African editor/proofreader/author currently based in Guatemala. I've been working in the South African publishing industry since 2001, working mostly on school and college textbooks. I've also written or co-written a couple, including some Geography books. I've edited several books with a scientific slant, mainly Agricultural Sciences but also Life Sciences, for example. I'm also very easy-going and understanding. (I know how intimidating it is to write a book.) Oh, and I work in US as well as UK English. I'd love to work on this project and am looking forward to hearing from you. Regards Linell

Hello, Can I get more details or see a sample? Kindly PM (private message) me so that we can have a better discussion of how I can help you. I guess the first thing to get out of the way is price. I am not the cheapest freelancer you can find. But I can assure good quality that is always delivered on time. The comparative difference is that I am a communications professional with multi-national experience in major corporations. Please feel free to check out my profile. Depending on your deadline, I would send the first 10% as a sample to get both of us on the same page. Then you can expect work to be delivered at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. This way, there are no surprises and you can monitor progress. About myself: -native English speaker -born and educated in Canada (you can refer to my resume) -my specialty is writing, editing or proofreading -hold a Bachelors and MBA -former English teacher turned corporate (please refer to my exam badges) -8+ years as a communications profession (please refer to my resume) Thanks Anson

Hi, I am very interested in working on this project. I have a range of editing experience, having contributed to a number of websites and publications. I have served as an Editorial Assistant for the World Policy Journal and a Senior Editor for the Journal of Diplomacy. In both of these positions I conducted extensive editing and proofreading. I have experience in non-fiction writing, both as an editor and as an author (I can send you an ebook I recently completed if interested). I am very interested in health/fitness, as I enjoy healthy eating, yoga and weight training (and reading works on those subjects). I am happy to do multiple revisions, as I really do enjoy working with writers that care enough about their work to get it perfect, but my price will have to reflect that. My current bid would be for two rounds of edits. More than that, let's say $70 for each additional round, which I think is a very fair price. If you have any questions for me, please send me a message and I will get back to you right away. I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Richard

Hello! I'd love to edit your first book. While I don't have a background in science, I have a lot of experience editing books – particular for first-time writers – and have a feedback-oriented approach where I like to work with writers through the editing process. As an editor, cutting out the non-essential comes with the job, and I do have experience editing non-fiction as well as a number of health articles. I'm definitely open to multiple revisions so you can shift things and see how your very first book reads and feels, and I'd be willing to learn the ins and outs of Scrivener to make things easier for you. Do let me know if you have any questions!

Hi, Since this seems like it might be a big project, I'd like to take my time to thoroughly read your book and bring it up to the level you want it to be at. First of all, I'm happy to see that you understand how important it is for a non-fiction book to only contain the essential information. On the other hand, adding in your own voice is very important to the book as well, as that will differentiate you from every other writer. Writing a book isn't easy to begin with, so the fact that you're getting your ideas out without too many problems is already something to be grateful for. And I'd be more than happy to help improve the flow of the book. I have a lot of interest in health and fitness because I understood pretty early on in my life that if you don't take care of your body now, then you will definitely regret it later. I'm fine with doing multiple revisions, as long as it's to a reasonable extent.

I can be available to work with you and re-edit as needed to see the project to completion.
