$250-750 USD

Paid on delivery

We need 15 editors who can do creative edits on plays. Editors who will work a fixed price and not only be bold as to remove stuff, but also fill in gaps of fact and fiction in order to improve a piece. Almost like paid-collaboration, except you're just basically just copy-editing, or creatively editing work. If this sounds like you, please send me a proposal. Please provide the name of the American author who wrote "The Hamlet," and "As I Lay Dying" before you even say "Hi." Please do not embed your answer in a sentence. Failure to do these two things will lead to automatic disqualification because there are just so many applicants normally to read through that the overall project would never get done otherwise. Afterwards, you can supply 2-3 sentences more about yourself and anything you think we should know. If you're interested, please tell me your rate for this job. Thank you so much for your interest in this classified and looking forward to learning more about you!

William Faulkner. Please provide more details about the job so I can give you an accurate bid. Are the plays properly formatted? What are they about? I would bid a flat rate based on word count for each individual play. I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience—writing, editing, proofreading, publishing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. I would use track changes and offer comments (unless it messes with the formatting) on a thorough one-time edit. Please see my reviews and portfolio. I can send you a list of edited projects and/or direct you to some of my work online if you like. Thank you.

@JimPowerWriter

Faulkner: The Hamlet (1940); As I Lay Dying (1930). This sounds like a fun project I could truly embrace. In prose I charge $125 per 10,000 words of original content. Obviously this project is a whole different animal so we'll have to discuss a rate, but I am highly reasonable, as I write seven days a week and do it in equal measure for enjoyment and recompense. Message me. My university background is Honors English and Russian Literature. I have been published by over 60 magazines and newspapers, including by the Smithsonian Institution. I have published dozens of stories in New York magazines and nine novels with American publishers. I have been a journalist and editor with many hundreds of published articles. I have published well over a million words. I work quickly and efficiently.

William Faulkner Hi! I'm an avid reader and a passionate writer. I am just starting as a freelancer writer and thus am very eager to prove myself while still following direction. I have a degree in Physics from Manchester UK, and that might make me an unexpected suitable candidate for the job to "fill in gaps of fact and fiction" as I am used to spot logic fallacies in texts. I'd be very excited to hear from you.

@MSIbraheem

Hamlet - Shakespeare As I lay dying - William Faulkner I offer my services at the most reasonable of rates. It is pertinent to mention, I believe, that I am a literature aficionado who's hobbies start from Homer, clamber over Rumi and Ghazali and rest at the feet of Dostoevsky and Dickens. Any play or literature related work is something I work in for the joy, not for the merely the monetary reward. I am also GCSE and TOEFEL qualified and though I am new to this site, I am not new to article, content or playwriting as I have earned my fill for several years working in a national daily and you can view my articles and work online as well as on paper if you please. I guarantee one thing and one thing only, the quality of work, concluded to your satisfaction in the least possible time

William Faulkner Hi, While I mostly write in other fields, I had my first writing experiences in creative writing and in editing of plays. When reviewing pieces I strive to improve the overall quality of the language used, as well as the timing of events within dialogue. My aim is to ensure that the audience will be able to engage deeply with the characters and narrative of the piece at hand. I would look forward to assisting in this project.

Hello! At this time I don't think putting the authors are still relevant since everyone had put it already and it's easy to search it up in google. As a bidder I want to be honest, I only know the author of Hamlet and I don't even have any idea who's the author of the second book. However, I am really into reading fictional stories specially those mind boggling ones. Thus, it made me interested into writing. I'm not a professional writer but I can say that reading and writing my ideas are my interests. Though most of my piece are kept in my notebooks. I am from the Philippines but I'm currently in UAE. You can give me a try if you want to see what I can contribute in your works.

The American Author who wrote "The Hamlet" and "As I Lay Dying" was William Faulkner. I am a young playwright myself and would love the opportunity to be in a kind of playwright think tank like this, even if it is just editing work. I love reading dramatic literature and as a goal, one day hope to be published myself. This would be a great way for me to begin that journey, provide quick and thoughtful edits to your work, as well as be an integral part of your artist collective. If you want to read some of my work before hiring me, I would gladly send you some samples.

Hamlet by William Shakespeare As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner I’m a big fan of books, I’ve always loved them. Maybe that’s where I developed a keen eye for detecting grammatical errors. Relevant Skills and Experience I could pick out a grammatical or typographical error a mile away. I also do basic proofreading for friends and colleagues.
