I am looking for someone to edit and proofread my book which is erotic urban gay fiction. What I need is support to polish the book, correct spelling/grammar errors, provide any feedback and finally returned in a format that would be ebook conversion ready. Please note this project has some graphic sexual and gay content. It would be helpful to have someone who is comfortable with this. Rest assured that while most of my stories are "taboo" in nature, they are not crass but rather a reflection of "real" urban gay life. To summarize what I need is: - Someone who is familiar with erotica. - Must be comfortable with erotic urban gay fiction (with graphic sexual and gay content). - Content has racially provocative components - Content also deals with pedophilia - Looking to have a 63,000 word story edited and proof read. Polishing of book and checking for typos, grammar etc. - One week turnaround time(or reasonably close) - Native language should be English - Formatted Word doc for EBook Conversion - When posting a bid please quote me a per 500 word price along with the total.

Professional LGBT editor at your service! I have a Masters Degree and PhD Studies in English and have provided "eagle eye" proofreading and editing work for over a decade. My work is thorough, professional and accurate and you can expect friendly and timely communication throughout the entire project. My editing work always includes a second "re-read" to address any questions that you might have. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Alex P.S. To answer your question, I usually provide a minimum editing charge of $50 / 500 words, but we can discuss bulk rates if you are interested in having only a section edited. Thanks.

Hello! I've read over the project description, and would love to assist you polish your book's technical details and provide overall character, plot, and story flow suggestions. In the past, I have edited self-help e-books, branding e-books, news articles, and more. I understand that the content may be explicit in some areas, but am perfectly comfortable with sexually graphic content and can appreciate gay content. I estimate the edit will take two to three days of solid work, with an additional day for touch ups. I look forward to discussing the project with you further! Angela Higbee

Not only am I a current writer for CrowdSource, creating prodding and editing copy, I am also an ally to the LGBTQ community. As a black woman I understand, to some extent, the difficulties the community faces and how it can be heightened with the addition of race. I feel like my location, living in Bushwick, a Brooklyn neighborhood, has given me more access to urban gay men in my everyday life.

Hi there, I would love to put in a bid for your proof-reading project, as I love to read and I love to check for errors. I have a degree in English Literature and I have over 3 years experience with professional proof-checking. I am an Australian with English as my first and only language, but I am fully able to proof your work using US English. I used to work for a school photo company where my job was to check for any errors in the text supporting the photographs. More recently I have proof-read a 73,000 word novel for a friend, and I regularly proof the local monthly magazine with a quick turn-around time required. I have given your project a turn-around time of seven days, but in the best case scenario I should be able to return it to you at some time before that seven day period has expired. I am comfortable with gay erotica, and I am also ok with racially provocative writing and dealing with pedophilia. I will check your work for any basic errors of spelling, punctuation and layout, and I will also suggest any other changes which I believe will improve your story. I have previously had experience with writing ebooks, so I can assure you that I am able to provide you with a .doc document which will be ebook conversion ready. My price per 500 word section will be $5, but my total bid is $400. I also promise that I will be available for regular communication during the job so that you will know how I am going every step of the way. Regards, Sandy.
