I also write fiction, non-fiction, short stories, essays and the like for 1$ every 100 words.
If youāre interested, message me on here! You can also email me at [email protected]
If you canāt afford these, or arenāt interested, please spread the message to anybody you think would be interested!
Hey! Iām really broke and kind of struggling right now, so I'm opening up proofreading and copy-editing commissions. There are three slots open for now. Pay me in spare change.Ā
Looking for an Editor?
Currently Iām a freelance editor looking for work. I have history copy-editing for a newspaper, proofreading books and short stories before publishing, SEO copy-writing/editing for a company website, and peer editing for University.
Please share this! It's not a very traditional way of finding work, but Tumblr widens my reach for prospective employers and hopefully someone looking for an editor or proofreader will see this. Booklr, Iām looking at you.
If youāre interested in hiring me, please send me a private message with details. Thank you!
(dis)Continuity in fiction...
Iām working on my revision of āThe Dragon Lordā for Venture Press.
Mostly itās the usual tightening of dialogue from prepared speeches to realistic conversation, the removal of ellipses and en-dashes which younger Morwood used by the unnecessary bushel - and in this book, some heavy rewriting to remove Tuckerisations of character and quote that not merely break the Fourth Wall but shatter it.
Iād included Anne McCaffrey as a fairly identifiable character (she had just introduced me to @dduane, with all that followed after. There were quotes, all used with permission, I still have the letters, from āDragonflightā, āStormbringerā, āBridge of Birdsā and āConan the Conquerorā. All of this seemed like a good idea at the time ā they make sense in context, and certainly nobody objected either then or since ā but older Morwood thinks they have no place in a much more rounded secondary world, so out they go.
(This is a bit like using German and Italian HEMA terminology in fantasy: the moves may be authentic, but if there isnāt a Germany or Italy in that fantasy world itās best to think up other names for the moves.)
Iām also correcting continuity errors that have been in print for 30+ years (yes, really ā unnoticed by me, my agent, and at last count two English-language editors and four foreign-language onesā¦)
Mostly itās objects and people in two places at the same time, or at least within a few paragraphs of each other and no linking action to indicate how they got there, but today Iāve reached the bit in āDragon Lordā where Gemmel the wizard Summons an icedrake near the end of a chapter, uses it to defeat his enemies and makes his escape.
End of chapter. Next chapter is at a later time in a completely different location.
There were a couple of paragraphs describing how Gemmel did the Summoning of the icedrake, but there isnāt a single line describing how he Dismissed it. Iāve just done a Search through the entire book and Gemmel never Dismissed it.
That icedrake, like a supernatural stove, tap or faucet, has been āleft runningā in six languages since 1986ā¦
So if any test readers take you to task for significantly opening a door and forgetting to shut it, look on the bright side: thatās an error which has been caught. And rest assured that professionals have done something similar. They still doā¦

Tracking Changes
The first question I ask any client is the same: āWould you like me to use Track Changes, or just make the changes without tracking?ā So far, one client has asked me not to use it. Most people want to see all the work Iāve done, and to be honest, I want to see it, too. Itās a lot easier for me to keep track.
Track Changes is a Word function. If used, backspacing, the letters you backspace will still appear, but turn red and have a line scored across them. if you add anything, it will also be red and underlined. You can also use an āAccept all changesā function, which will automatically make all the corrections, deleting the words and punctuation crossed out and leaving the corrections to look like the rest of the text. Track Changes allows me to see what Iāve corrected, and it proves the work Iāve put into the document for my client. All of it says to the client āHereās all the changes I madeā.
Of course, Track Changes isnāt a magic fix to see every mistake. The work is still there. But it really makes me feel like my clients can look at my work and see that I have put in the work for them.
