Hello everyone,
Pure and simple, I need work. A lot of my currently-contracted work has started to slow down and I need something else to support me while I continue to try alternative forms of work. With this said, I will do one of two things: format your book or copyedit your manuscript.
The simple:
Copyediting – I’ll ask for $1 a page. I format it with 0.5 margins all around, Times New Roman size 12 font and single spaced.
Formatting – I’ll do it for $100 flat. All I ask is that your book is properly formatted (tabbed or autotabbed, but autotabs are hell on short story collections, FYI) and that you have the text set so it will appear as-is in the book (meaning italics for thoughts, not underlines, etc.)
I’ve copyedited and slush read for Dred Tales Webzine, the Brave Blue Mice Webzine and have worked for individual clients. I copyedited Rhiannon Frater’s As the World Dies: The First Days, As the World Dies: Fighting to Survive and Pretty When She Dies, the first two of which have won Dead Letter Awards and have since been picked up by TOR Publications. I have formatted the following ten books:
TANDEM OF TERROR by John Grover and Eric S. Brown
UNBOUND AND OTHER TALES by David Dunwoody
MR. MOON’S NIGHTMARES, V1 by Jonathan Moon
LETTERS FROM THE DEAD edited by Mark M. Johnson
THROUGH THE EYES OF THE UNDEAD edited by Robert Essig
FAITH AND THE UNDEAD by Benjamin Rogers
ASHTON MEMORIAL by Robert Best
COMES THE DARK by Patrick D’Orazio
CHAPTERED AND VERSED, POETIC AND CURSED by Zombie Zak
VERMIN by Scott Johnson
for Library of the Living Dead Press and its imprints and currently work for both the Library and Bandersnatch books. I am fast, reliable and incredibly easy to work with so long as you are willing to ask questions and offer input when you’re unsure of something.
If you could, I would really appreciate it if you spread this link around to friends/others looking for copyediting or formatting work. I need the work.
Thank you,
~ Kody
