Looking for a literary editor / beta reader for a fiction text of about 90,000 characters with spaces.
The text has already gone through several stages of refinement, and now I need help to bring it to a quality final draft.
What is important:
— correcting errors and stylistic roughness;
— feedback on the text: what works, what needs strengthening or reworking;
— suggestions for improving scenes, dialogues, structure, and individual episodes;
— the ability to make the text more cohesive, lively, and easy to read.
I am looking for not just a proofreader, but someone with a fresh perspective on literary prose, who can identify weak points and propose solutions.
If you are interested, please specify right away:
— the cost of work;
— deadlines;
— briefly, how your work with the author is usually structured.
Only write if you are ready to start in the near future.

1068 10 0 Hello, Boris!
I am ready to "polish" your book: correct all types of errors, improve readability, suggest improvements to scenes, etc. I have extensive experience in proofreading and editing, including books. I have completed writing courses and started writing my first works.
I usually work in Word in editing mode, but I can also work in Google Docs. I correct errors in this mode and write about other shortcomings and my suggestions in the comments.
I set the deadline for 2 weeks, but I can do it faster if I push myself.
Examples of texts I have edited:Freelancehunt. I can send more examples, specifically, a fragment of an edited book.
…
Interested? Feel free to ask clarifying questions.

240 Hello. Since I myself am engaged in writing fiction, I would be quite interested in working with another author. As an editor, I would work as follows: first and foremost, reading. Since I have gone through quite a lot of prose of varying quality, finding places that need improvement will not be difficult for me. After identifying them, I make notes for myself, which we will return to together for further refinement.
The deadline for the work, as well as its cost, depends on the number of places that need correction and the time spent on it.

I can work in any format that is convenient for you: recommendations to the author for improving problematic areas, independent text corrections. The cost and deadlines depend on the volume of work. I would like to see a fragment of the text. I can complete a test assignment so you can assess the level. If you are interested, please reach out.

1584 93 0 Good evening, Boris. I am interested in your project. I have experience in writing, editing, and proofreading texts and books before printing (if necessary, I can send examples of my work in private messages). Among my recent works: about 6.5 months ago, I did editorial proofreading for the printing of "Childhood Diary" (psychology) + I am currently performing editorial proofreading and correction for a novel and a book on psychology. I am preparing them for printing. I work in both Word and Google Docs.
By my second education, I am a psychologist. I work as an adult psychologist. I always pay attention to the inner state of the characters. I am a native Ukrainian speaker. I also speak Russian: advanced (high, professional) level.
Therefore, I am ready to help you with this project.
I guarantee seriousness, responsibility, and timely submission.
If you are interested in my candidacy as a performer, I am ready to discuss all the details of our cooperation in private messages.
(The cost is approximate (indicated for the entire volume). For 1000 characters – 50 UAH. However, the final budget and deadlines can be discussed).
I would be happy to cooperate with you.
… Feel free to reach out.
Sincerely, Nikityuk Olga.

1252 16 0 I understand that my profile is focused on programming, but it just so happens that I read a lot, had some experience proofreading the prose of other authors before publication, and I am Serhiy 🙂. It seems I am suitable for this.
I will be able to state the cost and deadlines after I understand the volume of the work.
I conducted the work in the following way:
• I read the entire work and made notes on the points I had comments on. I did not edit anything on my own.
• The notes were passed on to the author either by chapters or as a summary for the entire work.
• In case of global corrections from the author after my notes, the corrected points were proofread again.
I would be happy to get in touch to clarify some questions if I have piqued your interest.
