Paid on delivery
Hi! I'm looking to hire an editor to proofread/copy edit a book of short stories intended for submission to literary agents. 30,000 words in total over 8 stories, “Tides” is a collection of prose that focuses on the stories of different female characters living in Ireland during the 1990s. From a younger girl who falls in love with a sexually repressed farmer, to a detached lawyer in working in Belfast during the Celtic boom, all 8 stories represent their own individual ideologies in a decade of change. Almost all have been published over the last 6 months with various literary magazines, so now's the time to get it out there to agents and I just want to make sure they're completely polished before submitting, though I am on a tight budget! Thanks in advance

Can edit/proofread with quality maintained. We write quality contents. Sample from "Prototype 2" game guide: The story continues, with Alex Mercer and James Heller fighting their way through the rubble and bricks, of what used to be down town New York City. Infected with the virus that destroyed New York, you set out to discover the game. This is when you will realize that this game offers you an amazing range of powers and tricks. You can run on the side of the ruins, jump large distances and one of the best features is this you can glide through the air using your very cool shape shifter set of wings!
