Hello, Amber.
I’m Al Sabado, an experienced and professionally trained editor, working as a full-time freelance since 2008. As a freelance editor, I help clients edit, proofread, style read, format, or fact check written documents such as books, e-books, doctoral dissertations, and web content, among others. I’d be happy to copyedit your revolutionary parenting book in 10 weekdays, for $1,500 USD (initial milestone on current bid). Will that be feasible for you? Let me know.
I'll be able to attach my sample edit when you respond to this e-mail. Meanwhile, following are my answers to your questions (Q1 to Q4):
Q1: Parenting is by far the hardest job I can ever think of. But having been raised by two wonderful people (except Mom passed away in 1996; Dad never remarried), I witnessed what it means to raise children lovingly, the best way possible--disciplinary training included--despite tough life situations.
Q2: Is this the first time you're hiring a freelance editor? What are you expectations?
Q3: Getting feedback from professional colleagues, friends, and members of your family, who'd read the book, is highly recommended prior to publishing.
Q4: Copyediting. It's the kind of work I do and enjoy doing.
If you would have questions or concerns regarding my proposal, just send me an e-mail and I’ll get back to you shortly. Thank you in advance for considering my editorial service. I hope to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Al
