I'm an indie author looking for an experienced copy editor/proofreader to work with on an ongoing basis as I continue writing my romance series. My books fall within the romantic suspense/mafia romance genre, so experience editing romance is preferred.
Editing will be completed in Microsoft Word using Track Changes and should follow the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS). Please only apply if you're comfortable working within those guidelines.
I'm looking for someone who communicates well, is dependable, and can occasionally accommodate shorter turnaround times when needed. While I always try to provide plenty of notice, there are times when I'll need a project turned around more quickly.
More than anything, I'm looking for someone I can build a long-term working relationship with as I continue publishing future books.
The rate for this project is $0.003 per word for copy editing and proofreading. My goal is to find an editor who is interested in consistent, ongoing work as my series grows.
If you're interested, I'd love for you to send me:
•A recent one-page editing sample (using Track Changes if possible)
• Your typical turnaround time
• Your editing experience and background
• Your familiarity with CMOS
• The types of books you most enjoy reading and editing
•
To help me filter applications, please begin your proposal with the words "Ready to Edit."
Thank you! I look forward to finding someone who will become a trusted part of my publishing team.
