On-Site Typist for Romance Novel - 01/11/2025 14:36 EDT
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m currently drafting a fiction romance book and want every page typed accurately while I read it aloud. You’ll be working in my home, listening to my dictation sentence by sentence, and capturing the text straight into a Word document.
Because I’ll be reading the manuscript aloud for you to transcribe, strong listening skills and fast, error-free typing are essential. Comfort with romantic themes and discretion about unpublished material are equally important.
Please bring a laptop loaded with Microsoft Word (or Google Docs if you prefer) and be prepared to format chapters as we go. I’ll provide breaks and a quiet space; you provide focus and a reliable ear.
Deliverables:
• Clean, proof-read digital manuscript in .docx (basic chapter headings, paragraph breaks, and page numbers).
• A backup copy exported as PDF when the typing session ends.
Let me know your approximate words-per-minute speed, availability for in-person sessions, and the city you’d be traveling from so we can coordinate scheduling.
