I have almost the first two chapters finished. It's going to be a long epic one.

Whats wrong is I've been trying to find an editor who will edit it, help make it more concise and give me help with the flow issue I'm having. Now after a month of asking for help on the Volunteer editor page I'm still without a reliable editor. I've submitted it three times. I think the writing is alright, maybe its the subject matter.

The premise of my story is Gerald and his mother Angela have a lot of drama between them and there is an undercurrent of anger and frustration. She hasn't been the mother he needed her to be, and he looks and acts like the husband that left her 22 years ago. This comes to a head when he comes home early from class, and he finds out that she is rather kinky sexually. This triggers the idea of making her a slave to his rather dark lust and this becomes such a overwhelming compulsion that everything in his life is effected.

My story is epic in scale. I want to give it a little more polish and a lot better flow because I think my writing is getting stale and it's my first effort. I don't want this to be just another male fantasy/stroke story. I want it to be grounded in reality, and have emotion in spite of the taboo topic.

I need to be challenged, and not just have the story edited for grammar. If you think you can help me, email me back and I will respond with the almost finished first two chapters and the stories general outline.

Anyone feel like helping a fresh new writer find his way?
 
I have no qualms about lending you a hand on this. From first impressions the subject category seems fine to me.

The usual advice is:-
You might get a better response if you switch on your Private Messages. Go to User CP (top left of this page) then click on Edit Options (in the left hand column) and then tick Enable Private Messaging in the second box down. Make sure that the next box down (Receive Private Messages only from Buddies and Moderators) is NOT ticked. Finally click Save Changes at the bottom of that page.

That's the lead sentence of your initial post. A huge turn-off for most editors, proofreaders, second readers, whatever. Scares the socks off my feet. I imagine a gargantuan epic 300k or more behemoth that will require months of my time, which is increasingly limited, to fulfill.

And for free. Sorry, don't think so.

But then I have edited "long stories" where the actual word count was 3k. An easy edit.

My point being, what is "epic" to one might be a quick edit to another. Please, please, please include word length.

And I no longer edit. I have been informed by SR that I'm not a qualified editor. Just saying you should be more forthcoming if you intend to find one.

And ironically, SR doesn't edit here either. He just demeans those of us that are willing to devote our free time to help others. Not sure of his agenda. Must be a democrap.
 
Editor

BDSM and incest are both interests of mine so I think I would be able to able to help you out. If you get in touch with me we can discuss further.

I'm interested in your plan but I am not sure the ending would particularly match my values.. I would have to know what your plan for an ending was before I could offer. My PM box is open if you decide to enquire :)
