I have a profile on Contra, the escrow platform for freelancers. I’m offering two services:
- beta reading for indie romances about couples in their mid-thirties or beyond
- last-pass proofreading for indie fiction that’s ready to publish
Writing and publishing a book is a long journey. I’m happy that I’m able to offer help to indie authors at different stages of the process.
As a beta reader, I give feedback about the story itself. Hopefully, the author can then use my comments to help them decide whether to adjust their story. Authors bring in beta readers whenever they feel the need. That may be long before a manuscript has been finalised.
As a last-pass proofreader, I come in at the very end of the journey. You could say I’m the safety net. I look for the small errors that can sometimes remain even after all the rounds of editing, proofreading, and author amendments.
