Seeking Long-Term Copy Editor for Series of Plays of Various Themes/Genres

Job ID: 31704693

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I am a playwright seeking the support of an editor/proofreader for plays of various lengths, genres, and themes. Plays are in various states of completion and some plays need to be fleshed out and developed more thematically. The type of support I am looking for is the following:

- Check and revise punctuation/spelling/grammar
- Apply creative interventions/implementations where requested (e.g. naming characters, providing names of locations, changing dialogue around)
- Cutting extraneous dialogue
- Formatting

There are over one hundred plays, so the price will vary although emphasis will be placed on the shorter work since this is the work that can be finished fastest and submitted to various theater companies for consideration.

Desirable traits:
- Interest in being involved in live theater
- Some involvement in theater already
- Fluent English speaking
- Attention to details

I am looking for a regular contributor to my work.

Aside from payment, which will be for a set-fee, you will also receive the following benefits:

1. Five star rating and review on Freelancer
2. A new contact in your network who will vouch for you and refer you to other clients (If we get on successfully through regular projects)
3. Acknowledgment of your support in the plays' acknowledgment sections (and other subsequent media-related activities that need to be done to keep theater alive)

If this is you, please apply. Before you even greet me in your application, however, please write the full name of the author of The Hamlet. Failure to do this will lead to automatic disqualification.

Thank you so much, and looking forward to your greeting!
