Editor (Published March 19)
Seeking an Editor / Copy Editor to review, read, correct, amend, insert, add and structure a non fiction novel of approximately 85,000 words +/-, with 100% True Happenings. The novel has been written, except the last chapter, which will include the present status of the parties detailed in the book. In the section of insert and add, that is the part that I ask for the Editor to insert. The writer is an International Financier, and lacks the capability to write the loving relationship between a Major Caribbean Resort Owner and a N.Y. Guest of the Resort. Without disclosure to the Resort Owner, the N.Y. Guest was married and the wife of a Capo (Captain / Lieutenant) or a Major N.Y. Mafia Crime Family. Of course, all happenings thereafter went downhill.
There are other complications to complete the novel:
1) The Toronto Bank Executives are probably still with the Bank.
2) The N.Y. Mafia Crime Family remains in operation.
3) The Resort Owner’s Family may strongly oppose the release of this novel.
4) The Caribbean Island Government may also oppose the release of this novel.
5) The Caribbean Lawyers involved are still at their Law Offices.
The Novel is called “Papiamento Assignment”
The writer would like to place a 6 month window for completion. Please provide pricing on a monthly or quarterly basis.
