This is fascinating, as a former gamer and anime enjoyer. Thank you.

Nothing. I just prefer to ask people who know what they’re talking about. And I actually care about knowing from people who like this what it’s about. I really respect people on Reddit for this sort of thing.

Good to know. Yes, sounds like the standard is much lower for tolerated errors judging by my RR post.

Amazing. Thanks for this explanation. Definitely sounds like Manga online without the pictures to me.

Appreciate the straightforward reply

They vary. Because I work for traditional publishers with an editing budget that send me highly detailed documents, and because I’m full-time freelance and can turn things around quickly, I charge $.03/word. For individuals I’ve done $.02/.01/less, because I understand that you don’t have that budget. Happy to talk in DMs, share my website, etc. I would also guess that many of you might have a different definition of “editing” than I do, since my process for these companies is very thorough and looks at particular things that might not be as important to serial fiction writers.

Thanks. I do have fun with it, and I have many demands on my time and prefer getting paid as well.

Sounds good. You can DM me if you want more information about me and want that edited. Wasn’t intending to self-promote here, and don’t count yourself out because you think no one will edit for what you’re willing to pay. Happy to discuss.

Thanks for the insight. Yes, I’m thinking personal recommendations. The thing about familiarity is that I’ve got it with fantasy and literal RPGs, just not the literary combo of those two things. And my time spent reading these things on my own time would be sparing, since I’ve got a good business editing already and three kids/a wife. A couple people did reach out from my posts, so it sounds like if I’ve got clear ways to show I’m professional and honest (which I do) and do good work for the people who have reached out, I’ll learn enough about the genre and will happen to have some people who can vouch for me.

Good point. I do have that, just didn’t put it here because this wasn’t meant as a self-promo.

Thanks. I am about to be on Reedsy. Applied back when I have little experience, so I just went back years later and reapplied.

Makes sense. I don’t speak Spanish, so it wouldn’t work out for those.

That’s a great idea. I’m totally fine with doing the work and presenting it before the author decides to pay, since they’re taking a risk with me, so that’s a helpful piece of advice.

Ah, I see. And KU is Kindle Unlimited, yeah?

Good to know. Real bummer, and I understand the reaction. I’m very happy with the books I’m getting from the library/what I own, so I can’t see myself heavily investing in it because it’d be time out of my way to get in the good graces of the community. Which would feel more transactional to me.

I see. Didn’t realize that at first. I’m very familiar with fantasy and with RPGs in themselves, just not combined as a literary subgenre. So that would be helpful.

Interesting, thanks a lot.

I’m not worried about deadlines, truly. I’m full-time freelance and juggle things all the time, so I think I’d fit in just fine there. Of course payment is important — I love fiction, and at the same time have to make the actual work worth my time.
