Marilia | 1 comments Hi! I'm starting to self-publish after years of writing by myself and I wanted an editor to check especially the grammar of my book. It's a Snow-White retelling with around 65k words.

I'm searching for a student or beginner editor who is willing to edit my novel for free (or for a low price). That might be a good opportunity for those who want to expand their portfolio.

Unfortunately, I can't pay much right now, but we can talk about it in private if you want to know more.

A few last betas are still finishing it, but I can put you on the Google Doc to read along. Also, It's a relatively short book, so I was hoping to have it done around June/July.
Thank you.

I am an avid reader with a high level of attention to detail. I've been thinking of getting into proofreading and editing. I would like to work with you if you are still looking for an editor.
Waiting to hear from you.
Thank you.

I have a bachelor's degree in English with creative writing and have self-published three novels myself, so I'm very familiar with the process. I'm absolutely willing to work with you in exchange for a testimonial.
