Sarah ☾ (thenarrativeatelier) | 85 comments Hey Elena!

Are you looking for a proofreader? From your post, I don’t think you need feedback on the plot and such or do you need them in addition to a proofread?

I would be happy to take a look at it, especially since Epic fantasy is something I have edited and read for years. I’ll leave my service page in case you're interested, and if you're looking for both services, I am happy to provide a discounted price. https://www.narrativenook.blog/servic...

I had my education done in British English, so don’t worry about that. I would love to know how fast you would need it, so if you’re interested you can send an email to Sarah.narrativenook@gmail.com to discuss further.

Hello Elena,

Please, who are you referring to? You didn't quite get the tag right. I have three packages I offer, so it depend on whichever you pick. They're highlighted on my website: https://bibliobeastreads.wordpress.com/

Thank you 💌

My rates are 0.001 per word,
Feel free to drop me a mail on maryxsolomon@gmail.com to talk more"


Hi, sorry, I don't use this website often.
I have checked everyone's page, and I am currently checking with those who didn't share pricing details.
Unfortunately, that is too expensive for me. I have lost my job and I can't afford to spend too much.
I only need a quick proofreading.
Thank you for reaching out, tho!

Hi, Elena. I'm an editor, and I own Beta Reader Bookings LLC. I'm based in NY, but I am proficient in British English. I personally vet my readers. They aren't editors. However, I do have a former teacher on the team. Readers can point out glaring errors from readers' perspectives, but they might not catch everything an editor would. If you're interested in a beta reading service, feel free to send an email to admin@bookabetareader.com.
If you're interested in an editorial service, please send an email to editorial@bookabetareader.com. Please note that editorial services cost significantly more than beta reading services.

If you send an email, please be specific about what you're looking for.

Racheal Joy | 49 comments Hi Elena,

As past clients have said, I "kindly but directly point out inconsistencies" and have a keen "attention to detail" - skills I've honed to help authors like you refine their manuscripts.

I'd love to discuss how I can help you strengthen your narrative and improve your writing.

You can contact me via jegedetemitope78@gmail.com. I can't wait to hear from you!

Melinda  Taylor (mtaylor67) | 92 comments I have beta reading, proofreading, and editing experience and have written many book reviews for books on different platforms. I can beta read a book of any length and can work with any book genre. I am hardworking, reliable, responsible, organized, detail oriented and meet deadlines. I am an effective cross functional communicator, rapid and adaptive learner, committed high receiver, skilled collaborator, dynamic solution-oriented professional. I love beta reading, proofreading, editing and writing reviews and look forward to writing yours.
I am interested in your book. It sounds like an amazing story. I am trying to get back into beta reading, proofreading, and editing after a hiatus and this would be a wonderful start. I have experience with a variety of genres and would love to find out if we are a good fit. I have worked with authors on Goodreads, Amazon, and Upwork. I am excited to get started since I love to read and review books. I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the best in your book's success whether you choose me to work with or not.
Here are my Upwork reviews:
"Melinda delivered excellent work on this project and we enjoyed working with her. Her communication was top-notch, she met all deadlines, and her skills were strong. She adapted and learned whatever had to be learned. At one point we asked for an additional milestone, and she was very forthcoming and happy to meet our new, changing requirements. She was hands-on through the entire process. Her greatest strength has to do with seeing the tiny details, some of which we did not see ourselves. On a personal note, I enjoyed working with her and undoubtedly have additional jobs for her in the future. Don’t hesitate. Hire her!"

"I would work with Melinda again. Her prompt communication, adherence to deadlines, and cooperation was much appreciated, and mark her as a true professional. She's very skilled at what she does, and I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!"

"Great work! Will definitely rehire for future projects requiring reviews."

"Amazing job! Would definitely recommend her!"

"Excellent job"

Elle W. (ellewsilver) | 18 comments Hello Elena,
My name is Elle, and I am a professional editor with the necessary skills to help you through this. From your post, what you need is a proofread, and that process is often more involved, which is why many editors will ask you to pay per word. But I understand that not everyone can afford the high cost of editing.
I would be willing to do the proofread for you for a flat rate of $200 regardless of the manuscript length.
If you are interested in my offer, check out my website for my references (I can provide you with more references from authors I have worked with before, and you can contact them if needed): https://ellewsilver.wixsite.com/book-...
Email me directly at ellewsilver@gmail.com to discuss more.
