Hello everyone,
Colorado Medicaid recently stuck it to a whole bunch of people, so I'm no one special in my status of being one of those who got the shaft. They now cover my mostly useless Medicare B premiums, but no medical services. However, I can buy back in if I can show proof of self-employment. I'm on disability, hence the "can't work" thing. However, any tiddly-wink of income will suffice.
I now my services as a proofreader, and you can pay me as little as five bucks. I'm not in this to get rich, I'm in it to buy back into Medicaid.
Please email me at chartley65 at Gmail or carahartley at protonmail to request assistance. I can generally thoroughly proofread a 10,000-word story in 2 or 3 days. I have many years of experience editing what may be the worst writing in existence (mine). Surely, I can help you with yours!
I'm not a dev editor, but I will point out areas where the plot is unclear to me. You know, the sort of thing where the writer knows exactly what's going on but doesn't quite explain it to the reader, who is in the dark. Of course, I never do things like that. My writing is always perfectly clear and never includes too much backstory or anything of that nature because I am literary perfection personified!
My dumb sense of humor is an additional service I offer free of charge.
Seriously, if you'd like me to give your manuscript the once-over, you can pay me as little as five bucks. There's pretty much no limit on length, but if you're submitting a five-hundred-page manuscript, maybe you could give me ten bucks. Pay what you can; you'll have another set of eyes on your manuscript, and you'll be helping me a lot.
Regarding book reviews, I still do those free of charge, but if you like the review, tips are appreciated. It is rare for me to give less than three stars. You can do a search for reviews at https://bit.ly/ReadersRoost to see samples of my style. I prefer to receive ARCs as a PDF, but if you only have an epub, I can convert it to a PDF.
For promotion, I strongly suggest that you compare the book tour services featured at the bottom of the blog and choose one of them to work with. Their rates are very reasonable, and they will get your book in front of a lot more eyes than I can as a solo blogger. Feel free to leave a comment on any recent post telling me the name of the book and who you're working with and I will sign up to help if I have availability.
I am also willing to swap a post for a post. In other words, I feature your book on my blog and you feature one of my books on your blog.
If you would like to do a guest post, I will need a Blogger-friendly HTML file, or a. doc or .docx file, or a PDF plus a picture of your book cover, blurb, purchase links, and an excerpt from the book. You can also include an author bio if you wish.

Sorry to hear about your Medicaid problem. That's why it's important to vote. If a politician boasts about killing SS, Medicare, or Medicaid, believe them. We have all the money in the world for bombs and war, to give the billionaires another tax cut - and to give to countries that don't need the dough because their people already have free medical care - but we have nothing for our own people who pay the bill through taxes. The only way to stop this is to vote accordingly. For those who call others 'freeloaders' because they may need help, remember - someday you may be one of those 'freeloaders'. I say why not help everyone? It's the decent thing to do.
I hope you get your Medicaid back and that after November you won't have to worry about it any longer because you'll have new representatives.
Hello Cara or Ornery Owl,
I read your post and would very much like to work with you.
I tried the email addresses you mentioned, but somehow
the email program didn't recognize them. That's why I contact
you this way.
Please, send your reply to annraina@yahoo.com.
Thank you.
Have a great day,
Ann Raina
