$250-750 USD

Paid on delivery
I have a short novel, 76k words. It is a mix of crime fiction and erotica. Explicit sex scenes, some of it coerced or non-consensual, but on the soft end of that spectrum. There is also some drug use and prostitution involved. Do not apply if you are squeamish about these themes. What I need: - Someone who is familiar with erotica and would be interested in establishing a ongoing relationship, if the first project works well for both of us. - Polishing of books and checking for typos, grammer etc. - A fairly good turnaround time. Perhaps within a week or two. I usually have a book ready every three months or so. - Native english speaker. - When posting a bid please quote me a per 500 word price along with the total.

Hi there, I'd really enjoy working on your texts. I have been proofreading and translating for 5-15 years, mainly for a Paris-based firm but with multiple ad hoc assignments on the way. In addition to this, I worked in sales for one of the UK's biggest wholesalers of adult consumables so enjoyed selling to retailers and consumers at trade and consumer shows. I have also been working some evenings on a sex chat line here in the UK. So, not squeamish at all, on the contrary, I like everything to do with erotica. British born, I have 2 Bachelor's degrees (English language and literature, Marketing). I work from home full time in the UK and always have my phone and tablet available so can be contacted very easily by email, the website or Skype. I can usually re-prioritize other work to get yours done faster if necessary and am scrupulous about respecting agreed deadlines. The amount I bid is for the 76k word count. For 500 words, I would charge 4.50USD. Look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Julie

Greetings !! As a professional writer, it is my job to communicate your message effectively to your audience. I take pride in always being focused on your needs as a client. If I write beautiful copy, but it is off topic, what good is it to you? I ask questions, encourage revisions, and don't consider the job done until you are completely satisfied. Lastly, and most importantly, I take my projects and clients very seriously. This is not a hobby - this is my job. The only way I can build and grow my reputation is by satisfying clients one at a time. I am not the world's best writer. I am, however, a very good writer who will work hard to create exactly the product you are looking for. Regards PhD Writing

Hello! I am currently employed with the North Dakota Legislative Council as their proofreader, and I have been a proofreader/editor for almost 9 years. I am a native English speaker, and I have an in-depth knowledge of the English language and grammar. I have proofread many different types of documents. On a daily basis, I have to produce high-quality work that is not only error-free but also flows smoothly and makes sense. The majority of the work I do is seen by the public, so I have to ensure that my work is the highest quality so the author of the document maintains a good rapport with the public. For a longer project like this one, I would bid about $1.80/500 words. I would love the opportunity to help you with your project and to show you the quality of work I can do. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you in advance for your time. ~KJensen0711

Hello, I would love to proofread and edit your novel. I have been proofreading for 6 years and provide quality work. I have a very fast turnaround time, and ensure proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and over all flow. I also noticed you wanted a quote for 500 words, usually I charge 2.50 for something like that or one half cent per word but with bigger projects such as a novel, I like to work with my clients to ensure we both come out making money in the long run. I would love to set up a long term relationship with you, proofing your other books. So please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Hello, I would love the chance to work with you on your novel. I am a native English speaker with a Bachelor's degree in English literature. I love to read all kinds of fiction. I am comfortable with erotica. I learned a lot about the genre from literotica.com. I have a flexible schedule and can work quickly to complete your editing. My bid is somewhat flexible because I'm not sure how much editing and proofreading you will need. I would be happy to discuss details with you. Good luck with your book! I hope to hear from you soon.

I have a lot of experience writing and editing academic papers. I'm also an avid fantasy and sci-fi reader, including A Song of Ice and Fire, the series that became Game of Thrones on HBO (lots of explicit sexual content in that, and I don't mind). I would apply the same level of excellence to your project that helped me succeed at Yale University and NYU School of Law. Let me help you, and we'll make your story sexy and thrilling and ready for the front shelves. My bid amounts to about $1.64 per 500 words.

I am a recent graduate from Indiana University. My degree is a Bachelor of Science in Education with a concentration in English. All of that to say that I am a licensed English teacher for secondary schools. I am more than willing to proofread and edit this novel, and any other writings you may want to send me after. I have past experience doing this type of editing. I worked at a self-publishing company during my freshman year of undergrad to help pay the bills. My price for this 76,800 words is $300 for a 10 day turn around. This breaks down to roughly $2 per 500 words. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. I would love to discuss this opportunity with you.
