I have written a novel and would like to perfect the first few chapters before submitting to literary agents. I'm looking for 3 or 4 people to read the text, comment on how interesting, compelling and readable it is, and make suggestions for improvements and tweak the wording where they feel necessary. I will be sending an MS Word file and would like changes shown using the Track Changes and Comments functions ideally (or at least clearly highlighted). I know what a reasonable price for this kind of work would be, so don't be fooled by the project budget ("It's a trap!"). Please include the word "Tenzin" somewhere in your bid so that I know you've read this description. The text is about 30 pages double-spaced (about 16,600 words) long. I will also ask readers to sign a simple non-disclosure agreement I've drafted, to protect my work. I'll be much more likely to select you as one of my proof readers if: - You demonstrate a good command of English in your bid - You're from a English-majority-speaking country - You're also a writer and wouldn't mind sending me an example of your work - You're a Tibetan or from Himalayan India - You're a world traveler and can convince me you've been to Dharamsala (India) or Tibet. Thanks so much for taking an interest, and I'm looking forward to seeing your bids! David B [login to view URL]

As a fiction writer myself, I very much enjoy working with authors on their manuscripts. I can bring extensive experience to a manuscript review and edit, informed by the current fiction market. (Tenzin!) Relevant Skills and Experience I have been editing for 11 years (and avidly reading fiction for 25). I am a native English-speaker with impeccable language skills, hailing from Ireland. My writing has been recognized by multiple awards, samples of which I can provide by email. Short excerpts are currently available on my profile. I have traveled to Asia, and lived and worked in Cambodia for 18 months, but must confess I have never visited India or Tibet. Proposed Milestones $200 USD - Detailed review of 30-page sample (full tracked line edit; suggestions on readability, angle, flow) $550 USD - The system is insisting the minimum bid be set at $750; but my bid here is only the $200 above. I provide all follow-up consultations by email and Skype for free. Additional Services Offered $100 USD - Query Letter and Synopsis Consultation before submission (I also have contacts in seven London-based literary agencies) May I ask, what is the genre of the manuscript?

Hello, Tenzin. I would love to edit the work for you. I am a writer and can send you previous samples of my work. I'm an Indian with origins in Himachal Pradesh. I have been there multiple times ( though not to dharamshala exactly). I also have a team of writers, some of whom are award winning literary writers and journalists. Since you need 3-4 people to edit your work, we can do it for you. Do give me more details. It will be a pleasure to work on it. Thank you.

@aocasio915

Hi David, I am very interested in proofreading your novel for you! I see that you're looking for people with a good command of the English language and those who are from an English-speaking country. I'm confident you can see that I am, in fact, a native speaker, and in addition to that, I am from the United States. As for your remaining criteria, I'm afraid I'm neither a writer, Tibetan or Himalayan, and the worst part yet is that I have yet to visit Tibet or India, although I bet they're absolutely worth the visit! Finally, because I don't know where else I could seamlessly fit this in my proposal: Here's the obligatory "Tenzin" you requested to be included as proof that I read the description of your bid. If you have any questions for me or need any additional information from me, please let me know. Best, Tony
