Starting as of Aug 20th / 03 .. The Made On demand first SUNMAN Novel was uploaded.*
* Thought this is still somewhat a " Beta" 1st edition edited by myself and it'll yet be helpful for outside editing.
Superhero SUNMAN requests an editor!
It could be you !
Based In Halifax, Canada ( or can do editing over the net ) and got some spare time.
Think it'll be fun helping to edit a Superhero SUNMAN based novella that can be uploaded as an on demand book on Superhero Sunman's online CafePress.com provided webstore.
Now August 23th, 03 and I've already uploaded a first edition to a Superhero Sunman online store and have gotten hard copies of it via a copy center. They may be used for more editing. You could have editor's credit on a new edition.
The first Sunman based book, likely a relatively short length novella * rather than novel, is intended to be a world of superhero Sunman based Prequel period tale concerning Sky Kidd Anderson in a time period spanning from before his birth to his early growing up years, with perhaps some fast forwarding looks ahead. Might get as far as into his early teens. ( * Note : Basic rough draft's already written - hence why the short time frame. )
It'll be great if ... you have some experience with California and Los Angeles, and knowledge about this area, and are able to access an awareness of a time period from the early 70's on into as far as the late 80's into perhaps as far as 1992 or so ( needn't be of this age, but can tap into it through info gathering means ). Helps too if you've got a ( internet connected ) computer to work with, and have a sense and attitude of things fun too.
Something like ...... ??
In the movie Alex and Emma, the character Alex has to pen a novel in but a month and so he involves the character Emma to record and provide commentary on his unfolding story, such that Emma has an influence on the course of the story as well as helping Alex get it done, and done correctly. Likewise you could have an impact on the story beyond just helping me get it technically right and properly edited and ready for uploading.
So then you're a gifted editor or literary guru and you think you just may be interested. Then contact me, Carman, at :
Meantime, I'll be manning the editor post myself from July 17th / 2003 onwards, and getting as much done (DONE NOW) of the basic gruntwork ( first off ) as possible. Whilst meanwhile changing stuff or adding new parts or extentions to the story line.
Editing from the Sunrise Edge updates:
Thursday, July 17th : Before Superhero Sunman - Only Sky < Problaby get half through a basic edit overview of original story's 33 ( in 8 1/2 by 11 size ) pages today, and finish other half tommorrow so I can start getting into content and more indepth edit review , and also start beginning new material additions then onwards. I'll be looking at also making a youth orientated ( mo tweaked ) version, and seeing what all new superhero Sunman based stories I can start afresh to make another ( different title, new story ) Sunman, on demand, print copy book.----as of AUG. 20/ 03: completed a first edit, and posted it to an online store, at a set price of $8.99 U.S. . Next task : a 2nd edit, and seeing about reformating everything for a novel size format print edition.
Thursday, July 24th : Well, things have progressed more slowly than expected, don't they always! But by the end of today, I'll likely have got through a first run by of the entire original text, a basic general fixing up, as well as some content editing. I'll go back over the whole text after that and give the content a more thorough going over, and see about adding more material and as well adding on a preface. The print version of this first Sunman Prequel ( Before Sunman - Only Sky ) appears like it'll differ some from the free E-book I've already posted ( which wasn't edited very much ), mostly it that the new on demand print version of BS/OS will likely be better overall composed, and will contain some new fresh updated takes on lines here and there, with lines changed, comma excess removed, lines extended, cut, or new ones added. Also, I'll likely also include additional content and background material. And besides the print version, which will cost something under $10 US to purchase ( before S/H ) conveniently online, will be something physical you can carry about and read where ever you wish, or even give as a gift or present. Besides my own editing of this on demand novella, I'll be seeing about having another editor also have a go at it as well. A first edition BETA version may be posted first, at a retail price at near cost value, which could become a collector's item perhaps. Then I'll post a subsequent more refined regular first edition that'll likely cost a buck or two more.
