*Australian/comedy specialist*
G'day! I was really excited to stumble upon your post as I feel we'd be a perfect writer-editor match for each other. I'm a fellow Aussie, based in Melbourne, and comedy fiction is my forte. If you choose me, you can rest assured I won't confuse a sanga with a sarong, a smoko with just plain old smoke, or fairy bread with something made by actual winged fairies. I speak your language! :)
I'd love to chat more about your project and I would be happy to do a sample edit to prove to you how good I am. A 15-minute phone call also sounds great.
Why pick me?
1. I have ten years experience working as a writer, editor, and creative producer. I have written four sell-out comedy theatre plays (the latest premiered in a palace across the road from where Mozart premiered Don Giovanni in Prague). Yes, a palace! My background in theatre makes me a specialist in crafting plots that entertain with every page, and sharp, witty dialogue.
3. Attention to detail. I don't just skim over manuscripts, I go the extra mile. As well as sending you the edited document, I will also provide a couple of pages of notes on how to improve your writing and your career.
4. To give you an idea of my comedic tastes, I love Douglas Adams, Spike Milligan, The Mighty Boosh, Samuel Beckett, Shaun Micallef, Frank Woodley ...
Could you tell me a little more about the basic premise of the book?
If you'd like to get in contact, please send me a message via the chat.
All the best,
Stu.
