[OPEN] [PAID] Experienced Professional Proofreading/Copyediting

[lunaterra]

Hello! I'm Natasha, a freelance professional proofreader and copyeditor. I'm an avid fan of visual novels in particular, and for the past several years, I've provided my services to several VN and other game developers. I'd love to help you polish your VN's script to make it the best it can be!

A list of selected visual novel projects I've been involved with can be found at this link. If you'd like to hire me, you can contact me in one of the following ways:

• PM me here
• Email me at lunaterraediting[at]gmail[dot] com
• DM me on Discord at lunaterra#8000

My base rate is US $0.02 per word with a $10 minimum (orders under 500 words will be $10 regardless of actual length). I can accept payments via PayPal or Payoneer. Rush work or projects which require heavy editing may cost more, and I also reserve the right to reject a project for any reason.

I only offer unpaid proofreading services for specific, limited game jams; if your project isn't for a jam, or you haven't seen a message from me offering my services for a specific jam, please do not message me about unpaid work.

Hello! It's been a while since I first posted this thread, hasn't it? I have some updates to share!

• I've added some projects I've worked on and am currently working on to the first post.
• For various reasons, I am not currently accepting offers to write for free. (However, I am still willing to edit or proofread for free games!)
• Unfortunately, due to financial issues in my life, I have to increase my per word writing rate from US$0.02 to US$0.04. However, unlike with my previous rate, I am willing to negotiate downwards for small projects. This price increase will only affect future jobs, not the jobs I am currently working on. My per word rates for editing and proofreading will stay the same.

As I am currently writing for multiple projects, I would prefer offers for editing and proofreading, though I will still consider any offers for paid writing gigs.

I've updated the first post!

• My free editing slots are currently full. I still have both free proofreading slots and all paid slots open.
• I've had a few people ask what the difference between editing and proofreading is, so I've added short explanations of each. I hope it helps people figure out which role is most appropriate for their needs!

[lunaterra]

Due to personal circumstances, I will not be accepting any writing commissions (free or paid) for the foreseeable future.

Paid editing and free & paid proofreading slots are still open.

[lunaterra]

Paid writing slots are now open again.

Would you be willing to write web/page copy?

I'm a bit torn between development and maintaining our outreach pages and someone with your depth of knowledge in VNs, I'd think you'd be a good candidate for it.

[lunaterra]

I don't have any experience with copy writing, but I could certainly give it a shot. PM or email me with the details.

If you were doing a paid writing job, how many words per week would you be able to complete?

[lunaterra]

It depends on a lot of factors, but I'd estimate between 5k and 8k words.

[lunaterra]

For various reasons, I am discontinuing my editing services. I will complete all of my currently active editing jobs, but will not accept any more until further notice.

I am also raising my proofreading rate in order to better reflect the time and effort it takes to go through a script.

My writing services will go on as before.

Hi, everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve updated this thread. I’ve updated the OP to reflect my current rates and add some sample writing.

[lunaterra]

I've done a major overhaul of the OP. I no longer provide writing services, for various reasons. I now focus on editing and proofreading!

[lunaterra]

Hi, all! I've made some changes to the OP over time. I have an email address especially for editing work, and I've added a note that jobs with limited time constraints and/or which require heavy editing may cost more than my base rate.

[lunaterra]

I've updated the OP; mostly to simplify it, since it can be a hassle to update multiple lists on different sites. An up-to-date version of my projects list can be found at this site (also linked in the OP).
