mala's great big commissions post

hi y'all, i'm mala (you can also call me taffy), and i'm opening up commissions for editing!

... that's simplifying it, sure, but it's a concise way to summarize what i'm offering 😅 namely:

  • moodboards
  • general graphic editing
  • text editing also! i will proofread and beta for you -- not just fix your grammar, but offering skilled feedback about themes, pacing, etc.

graphics and moodboards are starting at $25 USD

i can also offer coding-based moodboards (first example, second example, third example), but these will start at $30 USD

if you'd be interested in a bigger scale visual reference page like the one here, i offer those, too, starting at $35 USD

(i say "starting at" because if the project is more complex, i may ask for a little more -- but if you're wanting to do a batch, like matching moodboards for both halves of your ship, i'll offer a discount instead of charging the full amount for each graphic)

text editing will be priced based on length (word count). it's harder to pick a starting price for this, because for fandom projects (fanfic, etc.), i want to keep it affordable, but i also know that these things can get big, so even under-pricing $5 USD per 1000 words can add up fast. so unfortunately i think it's best to just play that one by ear, and we'll discuss the particulars!

that said,

if you're looking for editing for your to-be-published works, i do that, too. i'm the creative editor and line editor for bucket the barbarian, and i've also made covers for novels -- example one, example two (i worked with an artist on this one). so if you'd be interested in partnering with me for that, i base my rates on the editorial freelancers associations' calculator, but i'm willing to discuss lower pricing for the first job!

payments will be handled through ko-fi or paypal, and tips are always welcome but not expected <3

please share around -- i'm opening commissions to help bridge the gap with food and other necessaries like gas and allergy medicine so my head doesn't asplode. once i'm in a more comfortable place, i will be very much down with trading art for art instead -- but right now, malas need soup 🥺 thank you!!

you need to make more self-indulgent art btw. hyper-specific self-indulgent niche shit that appeals to You Specifically and maybe nobody else will get it or even like it but that's the point.

“At my old job in public education, my office mate invented the concept of the 8 Weeks of Doom. This was defined as the period between New Year’s and Spring Break where it was dark and gray, there were few holidays, and everyone’s seasonal depression hit an all-time high. To combat the 8 Weeks of Doom, she started a tradition of making me a Doom Calendar, which is an advent calendar but for fighting the Doom. She’d include small fidgets, snacks, stickers, and fun tea, which I’d open whenever the Doom felt very high on a particular day. Eventually this turned into a standing tradition of us making each other Doom Calendars, and the concept spread to our whole department. We would eventually just start our department meetings checking in about how everyone was managing the Doom, and did anyone want to open a Doom Calendar door for a quick pick me up? Even though we’re not longer office mates, I still exchange a Doom Calendar with this friend every year anyway. It really does help with the Doom!”

I adore this for the same reason I like winter celebrations/special days: humans realizing they can act to change their perception of reality. The longest dark, the coldest time of the year, can be dressed up as a party with lights and shiny things, or firecrackers and dancing wearing a lion costume. We can clean and make music and loud noises and give each other nice things and if we all do it very hard, together, maybe we won’t be so cold and sad.
