Added 2024-05-07 00:01:42 +0000 UTCI am working on two chapters and an edit right now. So expect a few things in the next few hours. I am heading back to the states tomorrow night. Some Seraphim members suggested I look for editors among the readers. I have not had Grammarly during the trip. I just listened to the last two chapters and the auto correct spelled and verb tense is off in a number of spots. Key Limes instead of ley lines is an example. So if you are interested editing I will set up a special discord in what that entails and compensation, etc… you should have some background in editing to apply. I will give whoever is interested the same chapter to edit and you can show me your editing skills. One of the probleMs I had with the editors I paid on Fivver is they were not vested in the story. I will be back in the afternoon of the 8th but need a day to recover and organize. So PM my by 6:00pm on the 9th if you have interest. Resumes not needed but feel free to send 😎

2024-07-04 15:50:32 +0000 UTCI havent compiled book three or four yet so just let me know which chapters you want to work on and I will send them to you on discord. you need to have word and use track changes. it takes about 2 minutes to figure out with a youtube video. i will add your name to the editor credits when the book is published

2024-07-04 15:41:43 +0000 UTCSure, I am by no means a professional. I simply enjoy the story. I have been leaving corrections as I read through the chapters. As that is what I have access to.

2024-05-09 20:44:48 +0000 UTCHey, after sleeping on it a bit, I think I am actually going to pass. Sorry! I realized how many new commitments the summer brings and I’m unsure I could fit in another big task. Sorry again. 😔

2024-05-08 20:53:51 +0000 UTCI was an editor for 'Oh great I was reincarnated as a farmer' books 1 and 2 on KU for Benjamin Kerei, but I'm active duty enlisted; so I don't have a ton of free time. Lol

2024-05-07 04:10:13 +0000 UTCi will create a special discord when I get home to see interest level and what people actually want to put into it

2024-05-07 01:23:40 +0000 UTCthere are three levels of editing. first is grammar and punctuation. The second is called line editing, which focuses on tone consistency. The third level is plot/rewrite and is similar to making sure the mechanics are sound - Baron Starkiller is still Baron Starkiller fourteen chapters later and not suddenly Baron Sunkiller. The editors that do all three get like $500 per 10k words edited. Way out of my price range. Grammar editors are between$25 and $50 per 10k words. A lot of freelancers just use grammar software and never actually read the text which is causing me to pay them and then have to do an edit read myself. I have slight dyslexia if you didn't notice and read through a lot of errors. Right now, I need to get book 2 ready for publishing. The editors may get a few advanced chapters on book 4 to look at as we go but I still struggling with finishing this forced vacation.

2024-05-07 01:21:43 +0000 UTCI could do some editing on your stuff, I already do it for a friend who is an author, but I wouldn’t be comfortable taking cash as I make enough as is. Mostly what I could add would be suggestions on different word/dialogue choices “Wouldn’t this word/phrase fit better here?”, maybe some pacing/plot suggestions and some grammar corrections.

2024-05-07 00:30:19 +0000 UTCAre you looking for someone who will give feedback on plot arcs and pacing, etc, or who will only comb over a chapter for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and at most some advice on phrasing or self-consistency? I could do the latter but wouldn’t feel comfortable with the former. I didn’t take English classes in college but I do have a law degree, which is focused on clear and concise written communication. Right now I’m a stay at home dad, so I have a lot of flexible time. I love your stories but I realize I may not be who you need. It’s an option if you’re interested.

2024-05-07 00:27:18 +0000 UTCIf you took a few English classes in college it might be enough. One of the editors I paid was a scam. She just ran it through a grammer editor and missed a shitload of mistakes anyway.

2024-05-07 00:16:05 +0000 UTCAw. I’d offer but I’m not a professional, just a grammar Nazi who has read thousands of books.
