To Whom It May Concern:
I am a professional line editor, copy editor, and proofreader with over seven years of experience working with non-fiction and fiction alike. Reviews, as well as portfolio pieces, can be found in my profile, but I understand that only goes so far.
I’m willing to sample edit up to 1,000 words of your manuscript to give you a better idea of my skills. If you need a nondisclosure agreement signed beforehand, then I’m willing to do so. I prefer Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or PDF formats, but if you have another, please let me know. I’ve worked with many over the years.
I edit using the Chicago Manual of Style, Seventeenth Edition, which is the one currently being used by major publishers and review publications at the moment, but if you need another style, I’m proficient in APA, MLA, and AP.
I charge $0.005 per word for editing and proofreading, so I’ve estimated your document to be close to ten thousand words, but I’ll need to know the word count to update my bid accordingly.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
Sincerely,
Nadene Seiters
