Obviously there has to be a way for me to make money off of this whole critical tearing apart of books thing. I was thinking about posting an ad up on Craig's list, but I'm not sure what to say. Or even what to charge. Copyeditors get like 3-4 dollars a page. For a 300 page book that's like nine hundred dollars. So, I don't know... I must think about this.

Well, if you ever published your dissertations, or offered to critique hopeful future novels/written work...I'd fork over the money in a heartbeat. If I had money at that point, and if I didn't have to pay through the internet, that is...-_-'

I got money and a paypal account, but I couldn't ever afford $900, even roughly half that would be tough (though I might scrounge it up once I finish You Know What).

Money is ALWAYS a problem. Hence this idea. XD

Sounds like something to consider, definitely.

Yeah. Gonna write up an ad today or tomorrow.

I think it'd be a pretty neat idea. You're always very precise with your sporkings. In fact I'd have liked you to do that to some of my stuff, because I'm not quite as good at catching small stuff like you do.

I wouldn't charge quite as much as an editor would, because you're not exactly editing by the page, but leaving commentary by the chapter; I think what you do is a bit easier. Bah, I don't know. Maybe charge for the amount of pages/words/however long it takes for you to progress.

I don't want to do a flat fee, and when I am actually working with a text that I can write on I do by page. So, it kinda depends.

Probably best to probe each person to see what he can afford ;)
