Manuscript Proofreading, Technical Editing.

Many fiction authors are not technical, mechanically inclined types, and so there are frequently errors in their published books. This includes quite a few NYT best sellers. The same is true of the general public; they just aren't interested in technical details, and so, apparently, this applies to their editors and the proofreaders they employ. 
If you are a novelist and want your manuscript free from technical and procedural errors, then consider hiring me. If they are there, I will find and correct them. Very little gets past me.

If you have a character in one place and who then apears somewhere else, or does something to contradict themself, I will catch it.

A few examples:
A detective home from work, needs to wash some clothes so he 'tosses them in the washer'. Later in the book, the detective has to go to a laundromat (where he finds another murder victim) because he doesn't have a washing machine in his apartment.

Peter Chancellor, in The Chancellor Manuscript by the late great and sadly missed Robert Ludlum, is sitting in a jeep with a doctor how gives him a gun; a revolver. Later the same gun becomes an automatic.

The bad guy in a novel by one of the best selling authors of the decade, wants to disable the good guys car, a Mercedes, so he cuts one of the fan belts. Next morning the good guy tries to start it but gets only a 'click'.
It doesn't work that way; the car would have started anyway, and to double check, I asked the service manager at a local Mercedes dealer.

Light aircraft do not immeiately go into a power dive when the "pilot's fingers slip from the controls" and bullets do not have the physical power to throw a 200 pound man six feet in the air. That would take about 1200 foot pounds of energy and handguns have way less than half that.

Nitpicking? Perhaps, but with people becoming more aware of technical things, they are more likely to see these little mistakes.

Proofreading and corrections are typically one dollar per page of the complete manuscript, (galleys preferred) or fifty cents for double spaced pages. I can also work with Email attachments in Word.

I can also write scenes so that they are as they would be in real life. An example is a novel coming out soon. Title will be listed here.
