English > English (US): Humorous Novel Revision/Proofreading, 43,500 words
I am looking for native English speakers, preferably from America (living in Portugal is my absolute preference because of money transferring taxes, but I may accept people living in other countries in Europe), to do some light revision on a manuscript for a humorous novel. It's 133 pages and around 43,500 words.
It is a very light and easy read, commercial fiction, very accessible language. I am very proficient in English, but because it's not my native tongue, I need the manuscript revised to make it squeaky clean before sending it to literary agencies.
The work will consist mainly of:
- clearing my doubts in little things like lay/lie
- letting me know if I have used a word that doesn't mean exactly what I think it meant
- calling my attention to any weird phrasing
The reason I am specifically asking for Americans is because this book is not only aimed at the American literary market, it is also filled with American expressions and pop-culture references. You have to be familiarized with both.
I will value people who have previous experience with literature.
Thank you.
