~50k word YA Fantasy Novel Proofreading/Editing/Beta Reader
Budget: $200 – $600 USD
I'm in need of a copyeditor/proofreader/smartish person to point out continuity errors or things that don't make sense, etc for the new book I'm releasing this summer. The book is about 50k words and has already been edited to a great extent so this will be the final round of edits before publication. It's a fantasy/adventure set in The Garden of Eden (think Narnia). If you don't have references or samples but think you'd be a good fit, I'd be happy to do a paid trial on a chapter or two to make sure we mesh working together and the work is within your wheelhouse.
Key tasks will include:
- Correcting spelling, grammar, punctuation, and syntax
- Checking for consistency within the narrative
- General feedback on the story /characters
- Filling out a shortish questionnaire provided by the author.
The ideal freelancer would:
- Have experience with professional editing (though not a dealbreaker if you don't.)
- Be capable of giving constructive feedback in a clear and helpful manner.
- Be cool AF to chat with about the book (again, not a dealbreaker.)
