Use the right words in the story and proofread.

Hello Freelancers,

First of all, any new freelancer can bid on this job if they have read all the instructions carefully, and have understood them well.

I have a story of around 50K words, which has been almost copyedited and proofread , so no need to do these tasks. Relief, right? Now all you have to do is to choose the right word or the appropriate words in place of the all the wrongly used words in the story. All it means, you have to mostly deal with the vocabulary in order to make the story appear more creative, well crafted, and slippery in reading. ( I mean, readers will not get stuck at a word or a line for any reasons like: They have not understood its meaning, they couldn't correlate it with the sentence, they find it repetitive or unfit and they got bored reading it often, they find it an odd to use , or the readers had thought, while reading, that a better word can be used for what the writer has used in it)

But there is a little catch, so read the instructions carefully.

1. The entire storyline has a sense, a tone and a taste in itself. Means, it is carrying a similar kind of flow throughout. And you have to beware of not changing it. You have to very innovative in choosing the words according to the maintained tone of the story, which is, simple yet a little creative and easy to understand. ( As it is for indian readers). So you can not choose the words that would put readers to open a dictionary being into their reading, conversely, you can not let any word be in the text which you can change it with the better one. In this task you have to very understanding in choosing the words, this is most important thing, and skillful.

2. Remember, this project is not about re-writing, so your only work would be to choose the right words, or the better one in place of that is already used. So while working, keep this thing in mind that you don't have to rewrite the text.

3. Honestly, the purpose of this project is to remove the clutch words. Clutch words are those which the writers are addictive to use over and over again in the initial drafts of their writing without knowing (unconsciously), and only to make a sense at first. But once they are done with their writing they change them in the last with the help of synonyms finder, thesaurus by replacing them with similar looking but more appropriate words.

4. You can take help of [login to view URL] or other synonyms website to see what fits best in the line and can replace it in the text given to you to make it more senseful, and good looking.

Firstly, I would like you to do a sample of around 600 words to see if you are doing accordingly. Seeing your sample work, if I hire you, price I would pay be $ 1.5 (INR 100) per 1000 words. You will get a 24hrs to do 1000 words, if you get 2500 words lot, you can send it back in 48 hrs.

I may hike the price later on seeing your skills.

Kindly see the attached file as an example of how this work would be like.

Thank you very much for reading this.
