No character Monday today. I’m actually not sure who to do next so if anyone has a preference feel free to say it : ) I’ve actually taken Monday and Tuesday as annual leave so to work on Awakening. I know some people might think this is crazy but it’ll make me feel sooo much better when the first draft is done and off to the critiquers. Speaking of which… Any takers? I have a couple whom I adore but I’m always looking for others. Obviously you have to be able to deal with the fact I use multiple points of view. Because I’m not changing that. Essentially I want people for a couple of different stages (seen there’s usually a few re-writes). So have a read of the ‘ideal’ people I’m looking for and if you fit the part (and you want to do it) get in touch via my contact button on the right. You of course must have read The Arrival (otherwise it’ll make nooo sense whatsoever ;p) and I am needing a quick turn around time (ideally no longer than 2 weeks). I am very happy to offer my services in exchange but obviously not till Awakening is done and dusted : )
A kick-ass proof-reader – for the final version at which point I find it exceptionally difficult to spot those cursed errors anymore. So I’d love to be able to line someone up for this! You wouldn’t be required for a couple of months (I expect)
Any offers would be GREATLY appreciated *grin* many, many thanks!
I would love to help, but I haven't read the Arrival, even though it sounds really good. As soon as I have book-spending money I will. (poor college student, here) 🙂 I do often jump into the middle of a series though, so if I can help anyway, I'd love to!
Just saw that it's free on amazon. *sigh* I'm such a space case. All right, I'm getting it now! 😀
I have read the arrival ( having just discovered you) and searched for the awakening and then discovered this post… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put me down as a proof reader!!
Proof reading is not my career path but i am a book devourer… I consume but the tree load ( well virtual version these days as i read alot of epubs)
SO PLEASEEEEEEEE put my name down … i would be honoured 🙂

Hi, Nicole. I hope you find the helpers that you need, and much success to you with "The Arrival". I am spending part of the day getting reacquainted with all of my buddies on the blogosphere after having neglected them for too long. I have been doing author events which left little time to do anything else but write my magazine articles and do a few blog posts. Sadly, there was no time for visiting blogs. I'm planning to post once and visit others during the rest of the week. *fingers crossed*
Take care,
-Jimmy
I'd be happy to read or proof. I'd offer to edit but while I very well MIGHT be able enough eventually, I have zero experience and it sounds like you need someone that already knows the process.
Anyway whatever you need, let me know.
Hi Bethany – *lol* yeah you noticed it was free *grin* oh good ;p Of course if you need it in a different format I can send you that. And thank you!
Hi Jo (Anonymous) I'm glad you enjoyed The Arrival 🙂 I will be in touch! I'll probably have you look at the final version when it's there 🙂
Hi James – Long time no chat 🙂 And I totally understand, so much networking to do and not enough hours in the day ;p Good luck with your book sales 🙂
Hi Sally – Zero experience is fine, I will have (ideally) a variety of eyes going over it so I'll make sure to send details of what I'm concerned about as well as anything you spot.
Many thanks everyone 🙂
May be able to help. After all, I've edited textbooks (engineering) and done a ton of other editing/proofing/etcing.
I would definately be up for proof reading and critiquing. I am an avid fantasy reader and I loved arrival (I did spot a few grammatical errors lol) I don't have any formal training however my partner is trained in proof reading as he is a journalist so I can get him to read it too. Just let me know what details you want if you would like me to help
Hi Becoming Mommy & Ricechristy – WOW thanks for your very generous offers! I will be in touch in probably a few weeks 🙂 Many thanks
