I'm a reader, writer and specialist editor of speculative fiction and since I joined Goodreads I have reviewed over 100 books on this site, many of them from independent authors. I also regular send lists of typos and continuity errors to the authors of books that I have read.
I have joined this group to advertise my services as a continuity checker and proofreader to other Goodreads authors. Not only do I have a good eye for such errors, but I also use specialist software to help catch consistency errors in the made-up names often used in speculative fiction that can't be caught with simple spellchecking. I also have a background in the sciences and am well read across the speculative fiction genre.
My fees are quite cheap (though on a sliding scale) and are based on word count, not an hourly rate. I also like to provide a free sample for a prospective author as it allows both parties to learn about the style of the other. This also helps me to set a realistic rate per thousand words.
Anyway, if anyone has any questions, or is interested in my services, please don't hesitate to send me a message.
