Description
Experience Level: Expert
My publishing company, Eaglion Press is publishing my first novel called Jabez Payne: Eikon. The book will be published as a hard copy and an e-book. The MS has been extensively edited by a freelance editor who used to work for Orion Publishing and has undergone another major rewrite since then. This has been edited and I am ready to submit the manuscript for typesetting.
The book is about black teenager, Jabez who goes in search of his estranged prisoner father as their planet Galantha nears its present incarnation. His journey takes him from the bustling streets of Enth to the bleak rehabilitation unit in Krom, and finally to the city of Godzoan where his quest takes a strange twist.
Jabez Payne is a Christian allegory dealing with spiritual forces, clones and hybrids, Nietzsche and the end of the world. It is written in standard English but some of the voices reflect a Black English vernacular style, Bristolian and Godzolian dialect!
I am looking for a proofreader with (and/or)
a)preferably a degree majoring in English
b)experience of working as freelancer or working for a publishing house
c)experience of proofreading fiction to a professional standard
d)someone who enjoys language and science-fiction themed urban fantasy
NB: I am not looking for critical comments or suggestions for rewrites as this has already been done at the editing stage.
The MS will be a hardcopy PDF formatted by a typesetter or an electronic file, if you prefer.
Estimated fee £300.
Looking for someone to start work in the next 3 weeks.
