LJ Beck replied to the thread Help Please! What are the going rates for a proof read?.Yeah, I'm thinking that too. My friend won't do any story dev stuff. Mainly a proof. The odd continuity thing, like "the mc put her ring in a safety deposit box, and in the next chapter she's wearing it." I'll do a little research as well on the... -

I think Tiffany Yates Martin, a top developmental editor, charges about 3k per manuscript. She could probably charge more but would rather pick and chose what she reads. So for what you are doing I would think somewhere in between the proofread... -

OK starting the third. I had to make a tomato pie because the wolfhound wolfed the chicken for dinner. I keep forgetting he has the reach of a velociraptor and the counters are no obstacle for him. -

I don't think we're really built to learn from other's mistakes. We need to experience things first hand. We're too stubborn, or individualistic, or idealistic to think that we're going to repeat someone else's mistake in the same way. And... -

I've changed my goal on the Trackbear leader board to be 40 chapters (all of them) instead of the 10 I'd put originally, because I went back to the beginning. The last 10 chapters need the most work, but I have changed enough in the first 2... -
