Looking for a Substantive, Sylistic, Copy Editing, and Proofreading for a Book.
$30-250 USD
Paid on delivery
I'm looking for a full fledged edit for my book. It is approximately 97,000 words.
The book is loosely based on a woman who lived in Afghanistan who fought for equal rights for Women. I have continued her legacy by writing a book that promotes egalitarianism, and fights against subservient mindset that currently exists in many Middle Eastern countries. My main character leads in this mission by forming an all Woman's Afghan Army. The book is called Shedding the Burka. If this story line is one that doesn't sound appealing to you, or might offend you, please don't apply.
I'm looking for someone who is great at assessing strengths and weaknesses of story lines, and someone who will be able to identify areas of the book that need to be revised, improved moved around, reworded, moved around etc. All grammatical edits are necessary as well.
The qualities that I am seeking are:
-Identifying and solving problems of overall clarity or accuracy
-Reorganizing paragraphs, sections, or chapters to improve the order in which the text is presented
-Writing or rewriting segments of text to improve readability and flow of information
-Revising any or all aspects of the text to improve its presentation
-Correcting spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, and word usage while preserving the meaning and voice of the original text
-Checking for or imposing a consistent style and format
-Reading for overall clarity and sense on behalf of the prospective audience
-Checking proof against typesetting specifications
Querying or correcting errors or inconsistencies
Reading for typographical errors or for sense
In addition, I would really like your opinion of the book. I would like suggestions on how I can make it better. If anything is unclear or you have questions, I want them asked. In addition to editing and proofreading, I want a thorough Critique. I want to make this book the best it can possibly be. What parts are really exciting and keep your attention, and are there any parts that bore you or need more work?
Thanks in advance. I'm on a budget, so the amount of your bid is definitely a factor!
I will have you sign my own Non Disclosure and IP Agreement before proceeding with the project.
Thank you
