Lemma Soft Forums

Writing: Any sort, barring heavy gore / heavy horror (because neither sit well with my disposition)
Editing/Idea bouncing: Can copyedit anything you so wish, with constructive feedback included!
Proofreader: I have proofread entire novel scripts before so you can't go wrong here!

Please inquire for writing & translation samples, as this would assist me in choosing the best possible sample(s) for you. I am also open to doing free ad-hoc writing samples up to a maximum of 500 words. Any more than that will incur a small flat fee of 10 USD, up to 1.5k words.

These are my rates for

Writing: $0.3 per word
Proofreading: $45 an hour (about 5-6k words an hour if just pure proofreading)
Editing (two types):

-Comprehensive edit: $60 an hour (grammar, spellcheck, detailed commentary, reworking finer points, and tidying up plot holes)
-Regular edit: $45 an hour (grammar, spellcheck, summarised commentary, and rewording/rephrasing if needed)

I work on a per chapter basis for projects with more than 50k words, and on a project basis for those with less than 50k words. For the former, I prefer half upfront per chapter, and half after completion of a chapter. For the latter, I require a 30% upfront payment of the total fee, and remaining 70% upon completion.

You may ask for as many corrections as you like during the drafting phase (restructuring/partial rewriting up to 50% of the draft) for free, but after you have approved the drafts, you may only ask up to three (3) minor changes (minor characterization corrections/slight restructuring up to 500 words). Any additional changes will be billed a 25USD per change fee in the draft stage (eg. more 50% of the script has to be rewritten due to external errors), and 10USD per minor change past the three free changes. These will have to be paid upfront.

Ideabouncing

Price: $45 per hour (plot & characters)

Additional ideas: +25USD for up to 3 ideas in a single session, no more than 3

I will charge an upfront fee of 22.5 USD (30 mins of consultation time), and the rest will be calculated and billed after the session unless agreed upon first. If the planned session exceeds 3 hours, I will require the first 1.5 hours upfront (67.5 USD). Each session can last a maximum of 6 hours, though you are free to book multiple sessions. I will update you on my availability.

NEW + IMPORTANT: Please let me know if you have a deadline, because I'm a person who doesn't like to rush my work if possible. If you really need it done within a certain timeframe, please let me know upfront. Certain tight deadlines may require rush fees (will inform you of any in our discussion). I will of course keep you updated every few days (min 3 days), but if you prefer a longer check-in time, please let me know. I cannot do daily check-ins, as I have other work that I need to attend to and it will take away my time from doing it.

For payments, I prefer payment via TransferWise but other methods can be discussed.


Trades

Not enough cash? I am willing to trade for the following services:

-Art (preferably backgrounds / CG art)

Important Note (27th April 2021): I am no longer doing free projects as my time and health can only handle so much.
I may reach to individuals whose project(s) interest me (and I have time to spare), but this is of my own accord.
I hope you will understand, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Please do not be offended if I don't select your project. There are certain things I am not comfortable with doing, or other circumstances that render me incapable. It is nothing personal, I assure you.

That being said, I hope to be working with you!

I can be reached at heartofhiraeth[@]protonmail[.]com.

Thank you for reading!

Please consider commissioning Hira if you're looking for an editor. She's amazing to work with and gives insightful points for the script. It was a true pleasure working with her
