Need editor, proof reader,

Printer-friendly version

Forums: 

I am about half way through my first story. I was wondering if I might find someone that would be interested in proof reading or better yet editing with advice.

Suggestion

It might help if you gave a little information about the story. Basically, the type of story it is. You'll find there are types of stories people will or won't do. Take me, for instance. I really hate sissy stories so I wouldn't want to work on one, and I doubt the author would want or be happy with me.

If we were doing it for a living it might be different, but being free help allows people to pick and choose. All we get is a credit at the top of the story (sometimes not even that) and the satisfaction of helping a writer along.

Author's List

A person doesn't get on the Authors list until he or she posts his first story. Since this is her first story, she won't be a listed author.

I'll help.

I've done a fair amount of technical writing, but am working on my first real story too.

I have a fairly good eye for spelling, grammar, and homophone misspells. I'll offer gentle suggestions, but it's your story and your choice about how to tell it.

That's what this site is all about.

Amelia R is a long standing writer and a very good one if I may say so.

Amelia, Just one question , are you using UK English or American English, I know there can be some major differences between the two.
If your using UK English I will gladly read anything for you.
