Rejected Story

steve_dench · Sep 20, 2018

How do I find an editor working through your list? I had story rejected and i understand the reason is to do with how I express conversation. English is my first langage and I do use spell checkers (even though I am a scrabble enthusiast).

I wrote a story for the Loving Wifes sector and would like to find an editor to review it and give me some advice. I have two follow up stories but want help before i submit any more.

Has anyone any recommendations for a volunteer editor?

You’ve included three pieces of information that many don’t so you’re off to a good start. Hopefully therefore much better writers than me will give you advice (but by all means read my stories if they will help) as they did me when I began not long ago and hopefully I’ve benefitted from that advice.

Also try googling “help with punctuation and dialogue.”

As Emirus says, learn the rules for punctuating dialogue. See for example
