This is a fictional autobiography of a young boy who is going through life (from the age of 15 - 30 years old) trying to find himself. The novel is 90% finished, but it is still very much in draft phase and needs a complete read through, character alignment/development, some content added to bring the plot together and then a final clean-up/proof-read for completion. At the end of the project, I'd expect the novel has it's plot aligned, characters well structured, fully proof-read and clean, and at a stage of completion. The tasks/milestones will be: 1. Read the novel and develop a summary (1 or 2 pages) of what you intend to do with your edits, and what you want to add/remove, define the plot and characters development you want to make etc. I will give any guidance/direction on that so you can do the edits. 2. Make all your edits to the novel and give me a chance to review. 3. I will give a final review and feedback 4. Finalise any edits, and return a final version back to me. The novel is currently 110,000 words. I am flexible on the word count. I don't expect you will need to go much higher or lower. I have attached a sample part of a chapter to let you know what the flow of the novel currently feels like.

Glazing the project itself, I noticed typos, so I stopped by. I proofread mostly, and I do enjoy reading, and write on occasion myself. The uploaded chapter itself has a lot of pitfalls but in terms of choice of word, punctuation distribution and placement, along with lack of clarity on some lines , but I write and proofread, so I am highly aware that proofreading one's own work is almost impossible, one just always reads what is in their own head. The first most prominent one, "stuck in work and " (stuck at work). Good Luck with your novel. From just this chapter it isn't really clear if the boy's a child of divorce, or born out of wedlock, so I can't decide on how to steer my emotions with just this excerpt. Hope it gets published and that I get to read it, so won't ask for any spoilers XD
