Hey hey,
Well, I'm really not a big fan of the hourly thing personally, more like, you tell me what the word count is now and what you want it to end as and we can negotiate a fair price that way. Like 10 bucks per 1000 words is my usual rate. I've written a lot of novels myself and love to do this kind of work. It's fun, whereas data entry is physically painful...due to the extreme boredom that goes with it. Drop me a line in the chat and we can discuss the project, I'm happy to start working on it today. Thanks
