INTERNET MARKETING

Hi all, as an author I find it tedious and time consuming to endlessly edit my novels. Not to mention, I am never satisfied and tend to over-think it. I've come here hoping to find some stellar proofreading experts and would love for any advice or insight this community might have to offer.

Does anybody know of or could point e towards an editor or proofreader who has experience with fiction novels?

Thanks so much and I am glad to have found this forum. Lots of good info here!

  Welcome to WF!
  
  Just looking around the forum and using the search function are great ways to hone in on all the opportunity within:
  
  ( and there's a lot of opportunity here )
  
  Check out this thread:
  
  http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...e-fiction.html
  
  Couple of very informative and to the point replies there.
  
  Here is a WSO offer that sounds awfully promising:
  
  http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...ee-months.html
  
  These two examples are more towards marketing. As far as a dedicated proofreader/editor:
  
  Maybe this Warrior:
  
  http://www.warriorforum.com/warriors...hallenged.html
  
  Or this one:
  
  http://www.warriorforum.com/warriors...erfection.html
  
  If all else fails, try posting an ad here:
  
  Wanted - Members Looking To Hire You
  
  Seems there are lots of sources, like minded Warriors and valuable info to be had here. Just got to search it out.
  
  Best of luck to you!
  
  Thanks

All "novels" are "fiction", really, as these two experienced "editing/proofreading Warriors" might quickly point out ...

  Hi Donna,
  
  Welcome to WF!
  
  If you really want a top-notch editor/proofreader, As NicheMayhem also mentioned, I would highly recommend Terra26. Here's a link to her ad up here on Warrior Forums - Proofreading and Editing for the Grammatically Challenged.
  
  I use her for all of my editing needs. She is, by far, the best editor I have ever worked with and her prices are very reasonable for the quality and amount of work that she provides.
  
  Wishing you the best of luck,
  Mic
  
  Thanks

Hey Mic,

Just thought I would let you know that this job has been filled already...I have done it.
I know Donna won't come in here much, if at all, so I thought I should respond.

  No worries Laurence,
  
  I wasn't really looking for a response. I was reading the forum while drinking my morning coffee and thought I'd welcome her aboard and saw she was looking for a proofreader. I figured I would just share my recommendation for an awesome editor.
  
  Mic
  
  Thanks
