Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Num. of words: 34000
Industry: Entertainment
Topic: Dystopian Fiction
Tone: Colloquial
Extensive research needed: yes
Extra notes: NO AGENCY OR INEXPERIENCED PROPOSALS - but a freelancer editor with experience of Dystopian fiction based in England. My book is in it's 4th draft and has been worked on for the past 2 years. It used to be 78K words, but is now 34K. I'm happy with it's length and content. I need someone experienced who can assist me with this by helping with any awkward sentencing, grammar and punctuation and has a grasp of everything related to writing a novel. Ideally I want someone to be able to start right away.
I make use of Google Drive when working with someone.
LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO
1) Provide suggestions
2) Add Comments regarding anything that could be troublesome (this description isn't very clear, how about ...)
3) Mark comments as resolved once replied to by myself.
4) Help with grammar and punctuation or any spelling errors.
5) Look for any awkward sentence constructions and rewrite so it flows better.
6) Suggest some details that can improve the reader's vision of the Dystopian world.
7) Help me through to the end.
I am happy to provide any details on the story and it's setting whenever needed :)
NOT LOOKING FOR
1) Someone who is going to brush through it and say 'yeah all good'.
2) Someone from a background other than English literature. E.g. business, marketing, law ...
3) Someone who is not passionate about fiction.
4) Someone at the end of it to say - yeah need more money - or to leave me stranded.
Here is the blurb:
New Vale City: A dystopian world far detached from our own and yet so similar. Where corporations dictate governmental decisions and bankers drain the economy. Where Elite agents police the state and each day, the ever-widening gap between the rich and poor continues to claim more and more victims. It is a world of Proles versus Merits and the system of ‘work hard, play hard’ persistently favours the latter.
Citizens continue to be exploited and maltreated, yet amidst this maelstrom of corruption and decadence, two estranged brothers struggle to learn the truth about their own family. One an introverted Elite agent, the other a deceitful journalist for the mainstream media. Though so contrasting in character, the pair are stuck on a collision course that will affect much more than their own lives.
This book is based on a Point and Click adventure game I'm working on, examples of the game play can be seen attached.
Final deliverable: A formatted document ready to be placed on Kindle store and for print.
My budget is fair but also flexible dependent on experience.
