Are you looking for a voracious reader who can tell you the good, bad and ugly of your next novel's plot, storyline, characters and voice? Are you desperately seeking a dedicated grammar Nazi who will cut, clean and refine your work into near-perfect publishing shape?
Well, your search is over.
I'm here to offer my services as a beta reader/proofreader/editor (or all three, depending on your requirements). As for my qualifications, I'm a second-year college student, I've written two YA novels on Wattpad (http://www.wattpad.com/user/SwatiHegde) and I have a personal blog (http://geekie-chic.blogspot.com). I also have experience in free beta reading for fellow authors in the past, and I've been on the Editorial team of my school and college magazines.
The services I'm offering are:
- Beta reading I will get back to you within three weeks with a full beta read report regarding any plot holes, inconsistencies, character development, plot structure, and my personal opinion.
- Proofreading I will get back to you within two weeks with a corrected & highlighted Word copy of your novel along with some general remarks about the grammar and structure of the novel.
- Editing I will get back to you within four weeks with a highlighted, edited and polished Word copy of your novel along with some specific remarks about the grammar, structure and voice of the novel.
- Beta reading, proofreading & editing I will get back to you within two months with regular updates every week.
The genres I will work with include: - Young Adult - New Adult - Romance - Humor & Comedy - Chick lit - Mystery - Dystopia - Other Contemporary Fiction
Erotica is off the table for me.
If you're interested, please email me at geekiechicblog@gmail.com with the subject "Beta Reading/Proofreading/Editing Services" (depending on which one you need) with the name of your book, plot blurb and any specific requirements from me in the body of the email. I will get back to you with my rates.
You're willing to work for two months for $50? Well, good luck to you. I've been in this business for 30-plus years and I like to eat three times a day.
Rock-bottom rates serve only to devalue our profession.
Hey, Kathe! I'm a student doing this part-time. With the current exchange rate, it's actually a decent amount of cash for me. It was definitely not my intention to offend the profession. I'm only just starting out, you see. Have a nice day! :)
