Looking for Someone to Write Shakespeare Summaries

[Admin]

I would like to add a summary of each Shakespeare play, scene by scene and act by act. To this site. I am looking for someone to do this. There is pay, but don't expect it to make you rich. If you are interested please PM me with your qualifications and an estimate of how long it'd take you to do all his plays.

[Admin]

Still looking

[quasimodo1]

To Admin: This sounds interesting although I must say plot summaries have been done many times. Interpretation, analysis of soliloquies, of characters, and twenty other factors make it more difficult. Perhaps you could clarify what you are after. Sincerely, RJS

[Admin]

A an original plot summary, just summary, not analysis, for the site.

[papayahed]

Can I copy from Sparksnotes?

[Admin]

No. That would be copyright infringement.

[Ygraine]

I understand if you'd want to look elsewhere, as this is only my second post on the site, but I'd be very happy to do this for you. Over the last two years I have studied a third of the plays, so they shouldn't take very long at all. In fact, it would probably be good revision for me. The remaining two thirds may take slightly longer, but as I only have 7 hours a week of set things to do I'm sure I can manage to squeeze them in. Feel free to send me a message and let me know

still looking

[dramasnot6]

I think I know someone who would be interested. Is it ok if it's a non-member?

[optimisticnad]

this sounds great! im going to be rich! :-) (by the way im joking. all you need is love....damn beatles.)

Can you give an example? That way we can see what your after in terms of length, quality etc. etc. if thats ok.

[dramasnot6]

they have some great summaries on this site shakespeare-online.com, I think that is the kind of thing they are looking for. I don't know.

[Lindenmoss]

I think I'll be interested. I'm in the process of working through an English degree, and though I haven't been there long enough to specialise in anything, I do adore Shakespeare. I think I'll have it completed within a year.

[Lindenmoss]

I'm interested. I'm currently working through an English degree (BA) and I think I'll complete the project within a year at the most.

[Admin]

No, they don't have to be a member.

What I want is something like this:

or

http://www.online-literature.com/aldous_huxley/brave_new_world/

except for each scene.

[Admin]

Payment would be $10 per summary.

Maybe if enough are interested multiple people could divide the players up amongst themselves.

For instance does anyone wish to write the Histories?

[Niamh]

Do you want a brief outline of each act before summerising each scene? I.e Act I...... the scene 1....etc. Do you want quotes included so readers will understand which part of the scene you are refaring too?
I dont mind doing a few for you Admin. I've studied Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and Othello as well as reading many others. I could do summeries of these if you want? The only thing is it could be a while before you recieve them due to the nature of my job.
Do you want a draft sent first?

Ah just reread the beginning...Qualification...never finished college....never mind, just thought i'd offer a hand out to get you started.

[Admin]

Finishing college isn't a requirement.

Sharing would be a good idea, we could do all of them much faster that way.
So let's collect who's interested.

Lindenmoss ?
Niamh ?
Drama's friend ?
Nightshade
and me :).

Maybe anyone has a preference for some of the plays and we could divide them up according to our liking, just because it might be a bit dull for one person to do all the Histories ;).
So here's the list of Willy's plays:


The Tempest - Schokokeks
The Two Gentlemen of Verona
The Merry Wives of Windsor
Measure for Measure
The Comedy of Errors
*Much Ado About Nothing - Schokokeks
Love's Labour's Lost
A Midsummer Night's Dream
The Merchant of Venice
As You Like It
The Taming of the Shrew
All's Well That Ends Well
Twelfth Night or What You Will
The Winter's Tale
Pericles, Prince of Tyre
The Two Noble Kinsmen

King John
Richard II
Henry IV, part 1
Henry IV, part 2
Henry V
Henry VI, part 1
Henry VI, part 2
Henry VI, part 3
Richard III
Henry VIII

Troilus and Cressida
Coriolanus
Titus Andronicus
Romeo and Juliet
Timon of Athens
Julius Caesar
Macbeth
Hamlet
King Lear
Othello
Antony and Cleopatra
Cymbeline


* completed

Have your pick and I'll edit the list.
I'd like to start doing Much Ado about Nothing, in case Admin is satisfied with my sample writing.

If you disagree with any of this, Admin, speak forth :).

[Niamh]

like i said i'd do a couple, R&J and Hamlet but i still have to get in a sample to Admin. Am Only offering to do a few because i'm a bit time constraint with work and with summer coming up the hours are going to be LONG!

[Miss Madison]

I would love to help out! I've studied both Hamlet and The Merchant's Venice intently with a personal tutor who is a retired professor from Warwick University, he taught English there, he's so passionate about Shakespeare! I think HE should be the one to do them haha, but he's pretty much computer illiterate I'm afraid.

[Schokokeks]

Please keep us updated here to see who's working on which play :nod:.
Happy summarising ! :D

[Niamh]

i dont think i'll be able to do it now. Lot going on at home so i wont get the chance.:(

[Nightshade]

hummmmm put me down on the list too, but bare in mind no qualifications to do this what so ever except interest in the plays.
