Greetings, Binocular Edits! You're welcome to promote your business and website here in the Writers' Cafe.

Now that you have an official thread, you'll want to add your listing to our Yellow Pages, found here: http://www.kboards.com/yp/. The listing is free to KB members and is completely self-service; you can add and edit your listing from the page. More information on our Yellow Pages listing can be found here.

In your thread here, we ask that the same basic rules be followed as we have for authors in the Book Bazaar: you may have this one thread about your service and must post to it rather than start a new thread each time. New threads about the service will be removed. Please bookmark this thread so that you can find it again when you want to post.

You may not make back-to-back posts to the thread within seven days. If someone responds (as I'm doing with this post), you may reply to them, but otherwise you must wait seven days. Any pattern of posting designed to artificially bump your thread to the top of the forum is prohibited. Please note that very short or (one- or two-word) posts with no meaningful information are discouraged and may be deleted at the moderators' discretion.

Lastly, your posts and images will need to meet our "forum decorum" guidelines, which is the case for every member.

You may find that members ask searching questions -- about how your service works, for example, or what they will get for their money, or whether your service adheres to Amazon's terms of service. Such "vetting" is a common here and can be rigorous.

Note that members are allowed to provide civil and honest feedback about your service in this thread. That includes sharing both positive and negative experiences/interactions they've had with you or your service. You may respond to criticism in a civil manner, but name-calling, badgering, accusations of lying, and other breaches of forum decorum can lead to loss of vendor posting privileges.

Any and all disputes between you and your clients should be handled off-site.

Thanks,
Becca

Note that this welcome does not constitute an endorsement or vetting of a service by KBoards. Members should do due diligence when considering using a service.

Vendor threads are permitted in the Writers' Cafe not only as a form of advertising that benefits vendors but also to provide one location where reviews of vendors can be concentrated and more easily brought to the attention of the whole community. For this reason, we make a reasonable attempt to maintain threads even for vendors with whom multiple customers report negative experiences.

Thank you!

If anyone is looking for proofreading or developmental editing, let me know! I’d be happy to work with you.

 

[Binocular Edits]

I hope everyone had a good weekend full of writing and/or relaxing! I’ve got a few spots available for proofreading and/or developmental editing.

 

[Binocular Edits]

Working hard on your book? Ready for the next step? I’m here to help!

 

[Binocular Edits]

How many spooky-themed books are being written in October? Or, are you getting ready for the holiday spirit?

 

[Binocular Edits]

I just finished up a developmental edit and have a few spots open for any type of editing you may need!

 

[Binocular Edits]

Just checking in and hoping everyone is getting more treats than tricks!

 

[Binocular Edits]

I'm booking for November and beyond!

 

[Binocular Edits]

I’ve still got some spots in November open. Let me know if you’re looking for an edit or if you have any questions.

 

[UnwrittenDreams]

Do you have any testimonials or people here that have used your services? 

Also is there a genre or theme your mostly familiar with or prefer?

 

[Binocular Edits]

Hi! If people would like to chime in, they are always more than welcome. I take the privacy of my clients seriously, so I can’t release any names. But what I can do is offer a sample edit of 1,500 words so you can see if we will work well together. I’ve worked on cozy mysteries, urban fantasies, romance, and science fiction. I’m willing to work with any genre. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

 

[Binocular Edits]

Looking to book for the new year and beyond. Let me know of your availability, and I’ll do my best to work with you to reach your deadline!

 

[Binocular Edits]

2021 has arrived! If you’ve got something ready to be worked on, send it my way!
