Hello,
I am Australian and as such have the British English style of spelling and grammar for the most part, though we accept both styles here.
I have been nervous about seeking out an editor as I want my work to be just that my work, but I also realise as I edit myself that I often read what I believe is there rather than what the actual words on the page are and my punctuation is definitely below par.
I find my stories are well received and that my writing has improved over time as anyone who wishes to compare my early attempts with more recent will see.
I guess my stories are fairly predictable and people can see where they are headed as I guide them in certain directions pretty heavily.
I would really like someone who uses British English as opposed to American English to help with my grammar and punctuation without interfering with my storyline too much.
I have no aspirations to be a professional writer, I have a full time job that I love, but I enjoy writing here and would like to improve.
thanks ~ellie
