Looking for Editors [Paid But Low]

[vblairehawthorne]

So you're begging for a proofreader?

[drcharlotterodricks]

But wouldn't you want to prioritize, the first few chapters instead?
That's what I would have done, for the simple reason that if I was writing a novel, I would want my readers to start from page 1.Since I have a comic consisting of many stories, it really doesn't matter to me, since my readers can start from anywhere but with a novel it, the same thing wont apply, unless it's a bunch of one shots?

That was the original title of the thread. and not even a proof reader they don't have to tell em what doesn't make sense or a anything, just to right click on the red writing and chose the correct word based on the sentence

[vblairehawthorne]

OHOHOHOHO! I see, my bad! Just editing that one sentence should cost $1 LOL

[vblairehawthorne]

Do it yourself then. Just dump your work on Grammarly and click away, honey!

[JackSherwin]

I agree, the editor is very recent, right now most of my readers are on the latest cahpters not first, so getting him to focus on that. If possible i will need ot hire an ACTUAL editor for the first few chapters

[JackSherwin]

Thats litreally what i am paying peole 1 doller to do and then 50 extra at the end of the month. it just saves me time and i can work on the enxt chapter right away so if you did that for all the chapters it would be around $200

[vblairehawthorne]

That still costs $5, though.

Don't forget to pay for their grammarly subscription too! Oh and remember that you're expecting them to be around CONSTANTLY during your timezone's active hours for your whims so that's extra too.

[JackSherwin]

its for ten minutes work. 160 times 5 is 800 dollers. i woudl then rather do it myself.

[drcharlotterodricks]

Please do it ASAP.
For some people like me terrible grammar and incorrect use of tense makes me give up.

[vblairehawthorne]

That's what we're trying to say, Jack.

[JackSherwin]

Again you misread my post which you keep doing, I said i don't expect them to do this unless I was paying them full price. And i do pay for a Grammarly subscription for all my editors. i have a business account that they all share.

[JackSherwin]

I am making an offer im not forcing you thats what im trying to say.

[KRWright]

i woudl then rather do it myself.

That's what every single other professional writer does before they even dare put it to an editor. It's common courtesy to spell check your work minimum.

[JackSherwin]

im not looking for an editor, who changed the name of this post i never siad i was lookign for an editor

I'm also wondering about chapter costs. I noticed that My Vampire System costs 8 coins per chapter to unlock and on Tapas the lowest I've seen was around 40 ink for a very short chapter while many are 100+ per chapter. Not sure how they translate into real money. How are the costs decided?

[JackSherwin]

Its 0.02 cents per coin 8 coins would be 1600 words

Can't say as I don't know the coin conversion. I believe 1350 ink is about $1 on Tapas though give or take, which then is divided 50-50 if it's through desktop, or if it's through the app then the app store takes it's cut and the rest is divided 50-50. Novels here are really cheap actually, but it's the sheer numbers that rack up the dough.

[vblairehawthorne]

50 coins = 1 dollar
1 coin = 1 Philippine peso
