UPS FUCKED MY SHIT UP SO NOW I EDIT

Hi. UPS fucked up my PC and I have to buy a new one, but I have just moved to a new city to escape anti-trans legislation and my job does not start paying me for another month. SO:

Have a WIP you need beta-read? A class paper that you’ve looked at for so long that it no longer makes sense? A first draft novel in need of a review before being sent out?

Hi! I’m Lee/mysterioussinkhole and I can help. I’m an honors English/Creative Writing graduate and an experienced editor who can help unfuck your shit. For just $0.01 per word, I can copy edit, leave detailed editorial comments, and provide suggestions for changes.

DM for further info

My freelance editing website is up!! I'm still tweaking it, but it should be navigable and coherent by now, at least.

Author friends, check it out! I'm offering copy editing, line editing, proofreading, sensitivity reading, and beta reading services. I want to prioritize accessibility & affordability, so I'm experimenting with sliding scales and payment plans.

Get in touch if you have any questions (or feedback on the website) or want to request a free sample edit. I hope I can work with some of you soon!! 🖤

What proofreading / copy editing / line editing looks like (when I do it)

Disclaimer: you may have different idea of what each of the three entails. But in my editing services, this is what you can expect from each tier.

Below is a snippet of my own writing (with errors introduced for the sake of this experiment), subjected to proofreading, copy editing, and line editing, respectively. This way, you can decide what level of involvement your manuscript needs.

Original:

Proofreading:

As you can see, I fixed punctuation, grammar and formatting errors, pointed out an erroneous word choice, and flagged a possible continuity error. Beyond that, the text remains untouched. If you don't want any (and I mean ANY) interference with your writing style, this one's for you.

Copy editing:

This time around, in addition to the proofreading pass, I tightened a few sentences, suggested a more evocative word choice, and pointed out where the scene's flow could be made clearer. If you're looking for a light-touch edit, that's the one.

Line editing:

This is the most involved level of editing I offer. In addition to everything in the previous tiers, I flagged a detail that didn't 100% make sense to me and could benefit from a brief explanation; made suggestions on tightening the prose further; and included several style suggestions to give a high-stakes moment more emotional punch. If you want me to really sink my teeth into your manuscript, and shine every diamond that's still in the rough, then the line edit option is for you.

Good evening, folks. I'm Elsa. I'm a freelance editor with an English degree and eight years of experience in the industry.

And you know what?

We're a week into November. We're a week into NaNoWriMo. I know just from scrolling my dash that a lot of you are well on your way to reaching your goal. Once the month ends, a lot of you are going to be contemplating the process of getting that first draft edited. And you know what? Editing your own writing is hard! You know what it's supposed to say--you wrote it! Your brain's going to just skip over typos or missed words. And not everyone wants to shelve a project long enough to be their own set of fresh eyes.

That's where I come in.

My credentials:

I have a Bachelor’s degree in English and I’ve been freelancing as an editor since 2014.

I primarily use the Chicago Manual of Style.

I’ve handled fiction and nonfiction.

Nonfiction topics I’ve dealt with include law, business, finance, marketing, tech, travel, wellness, and medical.

I’ll handle any genre of fiction. That includes gore, horror, and smut. I have no triggers.

The shortest piece I’ve edited was 95 words. The longest piece I’ve edited was 115,000 words.

Things I’ll do:

Beta reading: During this stage, I don’t do any correcting of typos or grammar or anything like that, but instead offer my input on anything that stands out or seems weird or noteworthy. Like if I get to the end of the book and still have no idea what a prominent character looks like, if it feels like a plot thread didn’t get tied up, or if I just think parts of it are a bit dull. Or if I think something works really well! If you have a list of questions you want me to keep in mind, I will do so, but otherwise I’ll just make observations as they come to me. $1.00 per page.

Line editing: This is when I go through the story line by line to spice up the prose, while also adjusting sections that are awkwardly or confusingly worded. (Don't worry, it will still have your voice at the end.) There won’t be much of a focus on basic proofreading since the contents aren’t quite finalized yet, though I’ll probably fix any errors that jump out at me. $1.50 per 100 words.

Copy editing: Making sure the writing is as clear and consistent as it can be. I’ll fix spelling and grammar issues. If a number is spelled out on one page but typed as a digit on another page, I’ll make sure those sorts of things are consistent. If a page switches from present tense to past tense halfway through, I’ll fix it. Misplaced modifiers? I’ll iron them out. Subject changing halfway through a sentence? That will also be addressed here. Would a section make more sense with a different order? I'll rearrange it. $1.00 per 100 words.

Proofreading: Checking spelling and punctuation and so on. English is a pinata of spelling and grammar rules, and even people who have been speaking the language since birth can’t always write it. There’s no shame in needing some spring cleaning. $0.85 per 100 words.

Rush Orders:

In the event that you need something done very quickly, a rush order fee will be applied. Regardless of the length, if you need it within less than three full days, a rush order fee will be applied. Beyond that, take the final word count and then divide by 4,000, and that is the number of days in which the rush order fee applies.

Ex.: If you have a 52,000-word novel, then if you divide that by 4,000, you get 13. If you need me to finish the document in under 13 days, a rush order fee will apply.

For the rush order fee, take a quarter of the price for work and add that on.

Ex.: If we say that 52,000-word novel is 104 pages and you want the full works–beta reading, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading–then that would be $1,846. The rush order fee would be $461.50, bringing the full total up to $2,307.50.

I take payment through Paypal or Venmo. If I have multiple takers lined up, then I’ll work through projects in the order they’re presented to me, though rush orders will be allowed to jump the queue. We’ll address scheduling discrepancies in advance, obviously. If you need something done within two weeks and there are three people ahead of you, I will say as much.

If you can’t or don’t want to pay all at once, then I’m happy to work out a weekly, biweekly, or monthly payment plan.

My ask box and my DMs are open. If you don’t want to get in touch with me through tumblr, you can also email me ([email protected]) or use Discord (shaicarus#8286).

Opening requests for copy editing and proofreading

Hey folks,

I was recently let go of by my job because of my disability (while technically protected by the ADA, workplaces in the US can still deny accommodations if they "interfere with essential job functions," and discipline or fire employees for not being able to preform the job without those accommodations. God Bless America).

To make money while I review legal options/work for a new job, I am going back to freelance proofreading and copy editing, and if anyone has stuff they're working on that they need help with, you would really help me out by hiring me! For tumblr jobs I'll be working on a sliding scale and am very open to discussing cost on a job-by-job basis. Send me an ask if you have a job for me, or send me a direct message.

If you're not familiar with what these jobs are, I check and edit people's writing to make sure it's error free and ready for publication/whatever it's for. Proofreading is about correcting spelling, grammatical, and other errors, whereas copy editing is more about content. So I can just help you make sure everything looks professional and correct if you want, or I can give you feedback on clarity, tone, etc, or both! I'm very happy to proof and edit fanfiction and other creative writing, as well as essays, websites, resumes and cover letters, writing for work, and anything else you want edited!

How can I find free beta readers online?

Free beta readers do exist, you could always ask other writers who you may know to give you feedback on your work. The only problem with this is your work may be stolen or ripped off because it’s not done in a professional manner 🤷🏾‍♀️ if you’re looking to one day get published I would suggest investing in an editor or beta readers but it’s not a must. There are also tons of editing softwares that give suggestions on how to enhance your sentence structure and you could watch some videos on what to look for in your own project. But it’s always great to have your work looked at by multiple people, 2 primarily and you can always trust a professional.

What do you guys think? If you’d like your work beta read dm me
