Oh man, I've been laughing for about ten minutes straight now. I stumbled across a list of proofreaders for erotica. It has what they prefer to read, what they won't read, amount of time available, credentials and formats they can read.
You have to check this out.. some of it is sooo funny.
The Link -- excerpts below
Credentials: Professionally, none. Thrown out of high school speed reading class due to outperforming instruction and with better comprehension. Aced college lit and comp classes, was informed by the Prof. the I write at a "publishable" level. Also know what "erudite" means.
Erudite? That can't be a credential, I'm sorry!
Credentials: 6 mo. exp. proofreading for metaphysical publishing house. 6 mo. real-time editing/proofreading for scholastic publisher. Massive experience as personal reader. One full length novel co-written, 1/2 novel written. Fan of erotic and occasional writer.
Proofreading for metaphysical publishing house. Was the house metaphysical or was the general content of the published work related to the metaphysical? =)
Credentials: Professional writer in corporate world (mostly legal and Securities and Exchange filings) - "as close to fiction as you can get in a legal document"
