Editor Wanted

May 11, 2007 13:54

I'm on a tight deadline to finish a very long paper. Every time I try to edit a part of it I spend a lot of time and end up re-writing so progress is very, very, slow. I think having someone else edit would greatly improve my chances of actually graduating next week. If anyone enjoys writing and wants to read through chapters as I get them ( Read more... )

How long is it?

It will be about 100 pages arial 11, double spaced and with an extra .5 inch margin on the left side for binding. The sections/chapters are 10 to 20 pages each.

yarg. That's a lot of reading. I don't think I could pull it off.

my cousin Kristy is a freelance editor. I know you don't have lots of money but she's really good if you want to check her out.

That's lovely. I'll definitely keep this in mind for if/when I have something publisheable. This is just the senior thesis of a broke ass undergrad... :( It needs some copy editing to make sure I don' turn in typos from working 16 hour days but I really won't have the time for multiple drafts and to make it actually good.

i'd love to help. While my english skills suck, I at least pretty good at helping people find their errors. Don't worry about any form of payment.

yay! You'll start getting chapters on your mailbox soon :) I'll make you food, how about that? I owe you a meal anyway since dinner wasn't ready by the time you left Ethan's. Are you going to be in L A for OOS on memorial day weekend? If you haven't made plans yet, think about it.

I was debating it. But I think I might also just bum at home that weekend and do something for BM.
