oi
i'm just trying to keep this post active
since no one wants their book edited right now
how it works: ASK to DM me, don't just send a message request coz then i won't see it, send me to doc file so i can download it, then pay me after i finish a chapter
payment method: paypal (everything else hates me)
(gotta keep this post up to date)

hey guys, does anyone still need their book edited right now? it's still $6 a chapter and you can pay me through paypal (dragonbonequeen@gmail.com)
Lol
if you're just gonna mock me then don't message here. this is the second time you've come to this post just to say "lol" and it's insulting
i'm trying my best here, okay?
lol?
yes it feels like you're laughing at my efforts
hey! i'm not nearly close to being finished with my novel, and im super on and off with my writing habits BUT if you wanna be my editor (I'm about 3.7k words in rn with three chapters) i'd love to have you along.
if you dont mind all that, dm me or ping me and ill dm you
sure!

mom said i need more clients if i wanna do editing as a full time job
have yiu tried fiverr or upwork
yes
both of them. no matter how much i put myself out there i never get any takers
hmmm have you tried rebranding
i'm a freelancer i don't HAVE a brand
i meant like online
like maybe u can make graphics and stuff and look more professional
@upbeat terrace Hey Lilith said you were a good editor and I need an editor who does chapter editing, so are you available?
nope, definitely not
cool
can I dm you about it?
reminder to all: message me here in this channel if you wanna work with me, do NOT dm me out of the blue
i've had enough scammers and hackers do that to me over the past 3 years

What are your qualifications? Like what do you edit/review other then grammar?
Also my above questions goes with this too, have you stated the quality you offer and peoples reviews of it?
Because if not people would think they're paying an amateur and would think its no different from asking a friend. No offense ofc
i've been an accredited editor since i was 13
i do spell checks, punctuation, grammar, indentation where it's missing, sometimes i reorganize sentences so they make more sense
my mom's dyslexic and she has several books out that i edited myself
i worked on her first series and even came up with the series title
it's only recently i started charging for my services. before i simply asked for food whenever i worked on stuff, but that's not really sustainable in the long run
plus i tend to edit as i read, so i work very fast
like i can do 11 chapters in like 3 hours if i wanted
the only things i really won't do are nsfw and textbooks. the former coz it's uncomfortable and the latter because textbooks are the absolute worst to edit
trust me, i've done one of those and it took me weeks
all because the author tried to format everything himself and managed to mess up all the fonts, spacing, indentation, everything
i still don't know how he did it
word of advice, unless you know what you're doing DO NOT TRY TO FORMAT YOUR OWN BOOKS
it's just gonna cause a bigger headache for the actual editors down the line
honestly because i pride myself on my ETA it's another reason why my rate is so low
i mean, it's not like i'm editing every single word and i don't take very long, so $6 per chapter seems pretty reasonable to me
but my bar is very low: no nsfw and no textbooks. anything else is fine to edit. i mean, recently i worked on someone's book where the main character was a cannibal in a psychiatric facility
sure, gore will take me aback for a minute but i'll still work on it
also *than not then
HEAVY ON THIS‼️‼️‼️ IT WAS SUCH A PAIN IN THE BUTT TO FIX
another person but STILL
and it wasn't just the textbook...
at least 3 more of my mom's authors (she's a publisher now) made this same mistake with their normal books and i nearly tore my hair out trying to fix it
please please PLEASE don't do anything to your formatting unless you actually know how to format PLEASE

I do pretty simple formatting for my novel; heading 3 style for chapter title and new line for dialogue, with simple blank line for paragraph breaks 😛

make sure if you want to hire me to ask here so the post stays active

Hello 🐾 I don't have a footprint in the library. I was scrolling down ya feed here. I thought I would ask do you edit children stories? Their nothing special. But it would be good to have someone look at them, could you possibly help there?
i'll work on anything that isn't nsfw
