I've edited my book The Fall what seems a dozen times. I put it up on Kindle and then nobody bought it for ages. When it did start barely selling most of the reviews seem to say the same thing; I need an editor. I can't afford to pay anyone if they want to proofread this book (young adult dystopia) but I'd be willing to give them free copies of my other books and future books. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

If you want to I can have a look at it. I'm studying editing at university and desperately need something to practice on. Would be happy to see if I could help!
Martina, thank you so much. If you send me your email I'll send you a copy. What format would you like it in?
Great, its aelfinss@hotmail.com, if you could send it in Microsoft Word (.doc) that should be fine! I'll do my best, and hopefully some of the comments might help you. Do bare in mind that it is completely up to you if you decide to follow my opinions and corrections, it is your novel.Regards

I, like David, can't afford to pay a professional editor but I would really appreciate your help if you're intrested. And any other editors out there looking to gain some experience, feel free to message me. Thanks!

Hi Martina, hope that you are doing well, a few weeks ago I sent you an a-mail, but not sure if got it:)
Hello there,My name is Caitlin. I am member of the Editors' Association of Canada, and I have completed its workshops on editing, proofreading, grammar, and punctuation. I specialize in using clear, crisp language so that your ideas can speak for themselves.
Some of my recent projects include copy editing a 100,000 word history of the Canadian Psychological Association, editing new content for an e-book that is about to go into its second printing, and editing a novel that the author plans to self-publish.
I have an Undergraduate degree in Humanities and a Professional degree in Law. Don't let my dry education fool you! I am a reader at heart and I love working with words.
If you are looking for an affordable, professional editor who is equally comfortable in fiction and non-fiction, please email me at rennesonediting@gmail.com
Thank you,
Caitlin
