Hello!
My name is Myroslava Uzun, I am 15 years old. Currently, I am finishing work on my fourth book. All four of my books form a single series, which consists of several large volumes.
I am looking for an editor to work on these books and would like to know the terms of cooperation and the approximate cost of services.
I want to note that I plan to divide the first two novels into two parts, meaning that instead of four novels, there will be six, but the parts will be smaller.
Main data about the texts:
Number of books: 4 (one series).
Here is the number of characters (without spaces / with spaces):
First novel (possible division): 1,225,467 / 1,459,967
Second novel (possible division): 745,331 / 914,313
Third novel: 512,142 / 627,368
Fourth novel: 456,772 / 567,490
Genre: My book does not have clear genre boundaries — each volume reveals new facets of the story. Even within one volume, numerous plot lines can intertwine. Characters may experience deep drama, mourning a deceased son; delve into a detective investigation of his death; participate in criminal gangs; or embark on journeys across the country, creating an atmosphere of adventure and travel. And all of this can happen at once in one volume.
Main genres: travel, crime, detective, drama, and melodrama.
Please let me know:
1. Do you work with large prose texts (novels, multi-volume series)?
2. What specific services can you offer (literary editing, stylistic editing, proofreading, copyediting)?
3. The approximate cost of editing and the calculation principle (per author's sheet, per page, per 1000 characters, etc.).
4. Possible deadlines for completion.
I want to mention that I am currently in a difficult financial situation. At the same time, I have several potential sponsors ready to support my idea, provided that the exact cost is determined. Therefore, it is important for me to know the approximate range of your work's cost — the minimum and maximum amount for this volume of text.
I would be very grateful for your response and am ready to provide a text fragment for your review.
Respectfully,
Myroslava Uzun
P.S. I did not specify anything in the project budget, as I currently do not have large sums of money. The final budget will depend on your requirements, which I can present to my sponsors.
