Erotica Proofreader/Beta Reader on a budget

[Loren]

Hi all, and happy 2020!

edit: I didn't expect such huge feedback. For now applications are closed, while I take some time to check the samples. THANK YOU VERY MUCH to everyone who has applied. If I didn't answer yet, you may be in queue if I can't find the right one in the first round ;)


In 2019 I started to write erotica shorts (7500-10000 words, check my author page) which, to my utter surprise, received good-enough reviews. Sometimes, though, readers complained about lack of proof-reading.

I'm not a native English writer and even if I try to stick to UK English as much as I can, I do silly mistakes I miss to fix during my own editing phase, like lack of prepositions and typos (fill-feel, up-us, past-last,...)

I'm aware of the issues this causes in a reader and I'd love to find a way to improve my writing, fixing these errors.

I'm looking for someone to help me, maybe on a regular basis. My production is around 20-25000 words for month, usually, but I have 25 stories out there I'd love to slowly check and fix.

I'm NOT looking for a line/copy editor but more for a proofreader/beta reader to fix just those errors I mentioned above.
I don't want to change my style or the structure of my tales for now, even if I know they aren't the best (I don't have the budget for a full editing-cycle yet).


Anyone willing to help, for free or on a tight budget (between $0.0020 and $0.0030 per word )?

I can send a sample.

Thanks,
Loren

Hi, thank you for your answer.
I've checked your editing website, and you are probably out of my current budget (which I've added above). Thank you, in any case!
