If someone responds (as I'm doing with this post), you may reply to them, but otherwise you must wait seven days. Lastly, 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.

Looks like Alexa has a submission form here, Deke: http://alexabooks.wixsite.com/authors

Now accepting submissions for January (only 3 books scheduled so far)

I highly recommend Alexa's proofreading services. She is professional, prompt and courteous in addition to being reasonably priced. My experience working with her was wonderful. I plan to work with her on all future projects.

That's a really good story, by the way.

Forgot to reply to this one. It was a pleasure to read your books, and I'm happy I could help Looking forward to book 5!

Now booking for February, but I can squeeze in one more book in Jan, if anyone needs me http://alexabooks.wixsite.com/authors

 

[alexabooks]

I've updated my web page, and I'm now booking for March http://alexabooks.wixsite.com/authors
I have open spots from 3/3 to 3/19

  Alexa saved my life! I was so sick of combing my books for errors, and most proofreaders are too expensive. Her prices are good, and she is quick and thorough, even going beyond duty. She's done two books for me and will do the others, I highly recommend her!

IMPORTANT UPDATE

I know there are many authors who can't afford paid services they need, and I know how much it sucks. Since I have more free time now, I've come up with an idea that will give all authors a chance to get their book proofread for only $50, irrespective of word count.

Once a month, I will post in this thread about a special offer. On this day, you can submit your book via my website, and the first 3 authors will get a 50% discount. One author can only submit one book, and if you'd like me to proofread another one, you can either submit it later at regular price, or wait for another special offer. You can have all your books proofread for only $50 this way, as long as you're among the first three authors to email me during the special offer every month.

There are three conditions:
- the book must be finished (you must be ready to send me the book right away)
- it must be ready for proofreading. I don't accept books that look like a first draft (typos all over the page).
- Horror and Steamy Romance are okay; excessive gore and porn will not be accepted.

What I will help you eliminate:
- grammatical errors
- typographical errors
- spelling errors
- repeating or missed words
- POV, age, name inconsistencies
- plot holes
- confusing text, etc.

If you're interested, please scroll up and use the Notify button.
You will receive an email notification when I post about a special offer. (There won't be too many posts, so don't worry about spam.)

Thanks, Alexa!

I've got two projects on their way down the pipeline. Your rates seem very reasonable so I'll definitely submit later. One is a monthly serial, the first arc of which covers 12 episode (1 year) and I estimate at around 55k, finished in April. The other is a novel that I will finish around June, and I estimate 75k.

Bookmarked your site.

I have a current project (fantasy) that I'm currently doing the heavy lifting editing on now for a more polished Draft 2. Would you be willing to take on a project at or slightly over 200k words?

 

[Berries]

Just a heads up- I checked out your website and there's errors on your "about me" section. You might want to fix this

Hi!
That's great! Even if you don't wait for the special offer, you'll get 25% off the first book. Please make sure to submit in advance, especially, in summer

Hi Steven!
I could make an exception, seeing how awesome your first book looks, but only at regular price. It would be $200, even with the 'new author' discount. Huge books like this take a lot of time, so I'll have to move 3 or 4 authors to find time for it
But if you're still interested, please do submit it via my website as soon as you're ready.
