Hello, I just finished writing a book with a working title: "Technology Stories" - "Filling the Gaps for the Average Developer". This is an e-book destined for the Amazon Kindle, which discusses 150 key lessons in total from the course of my 10 jobs as a Computer Programmer in Toronto, since 2005. It's 100 pages long (including some blank pages, table of contents, popular quotes, etc) and contains: 1. Stories of what happened to me. 2. The universal lessons I learned. 3. Mistakes I made. 4. My general advice on how to succeed as a Software Developer. 5. Inside information of the industry and what happens inside companies and businesses. Each of the 15 chapters also contains a summarized list of just the key points at the end. So readers will be able to also skip straight to the summarized points, if their time is short. Each chapter is divided in titled sections. Each section has a "Key Lesson" that it illustrates. So the book is very "to-the-point" and focuses on efficiency, rather than eloquent storytelling. I need an experienced business writer, who has previously written and edited several business books. I need them to help me with constructive, material improvements to the book. I am not interested as much about writing style, grammar, spelling, and word choices. I am more interested in larger themes, such as: How can I intrigue the reader to make them keep reading? How can I keep the attention of the reader? How can I strengthen my points in my stories? What could I add, and what could I remove? (Maybe too much information in some places, and not enough in others...) How can I make paragraphs and ideas feel more connected? I also prefer that you use the "Track Changes" option in the Google Doc that I'm using, so that I could see exactly what has been changed and suggested (using the Comment feature). I have attached a short, 2 page sample from the book, to give you an idea of how a chapter is structured. If you feel you can help me with serious professional editing, please apply and share your portfolio with me.

Hi, What you are asking for is a combination of developmental editing and standard editing. Developmental editing will address questions such as what content should be added/reduced/deleted, the overall shape and scope of the book, and connecting different parts of the book together. Standard editing will help with making transitions between paragraphs and ideas so they feel more connected. It would help to have a phone call so we can discuss some options for your book (there is a limit on how much we can write in this application form). What is your market is? Do you want to try and maximize sales or target a specific audience? What overall theme(s) do you want to emphasize? To make my comments most relevant it would help if I could quickly look through the book before we talk. Let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Webb, and I’m a professional editorwith 36 years of experience, which includes editing various business books, including Salesmen Never Cry, Why Purpose Matters and How it Can Transform Your Organisation, fiction books, and textbooks. English is my native language and my Bachelor's degree is in English. I can work in Google Docs in the Suggesting Mode. Here at Freelancer.com, my work has earned a 4.9 out of 5 rating from my 156 clients. My clients' comments include, “Julie does excellent and professional work.” "This was really excellent work. I will hire her again." I would enjoy editing your book and look forward to hearing from you. Julie

Editing, rewriting and proofreading are a huge part of my daily work. Each writing assignment I perform must be grammatically correct and gone through for any mistakes; I never accept subpar work. During my years as a freelance writer I have taken on hundreds of rewriting, editing, and proofreading assignments, always meeting my deadlines with complete client satisfaction and repeat requests.
