I'm well aware that editing takes time. But if anyone is able to help others, please add your name here.

* Specify if you are unwilling to edit certain topics/categories, or if you have a word limit.


Turn on Conversations ~~

* Conversations are found under the little envelope at the top right of the page. To check that they are enabled, click on your username next to the envelope and then go to Privacy. Under "Allow User To" you will see various options for conversations.

* No e-mail addresses allowed in posts ~ personal info prohibited per forum guidelines.
 
I won't touch copy with the following: rape, drugs, non-con, heavy BDSM, scat or piss, not keen on gay male, transgender, and non-human, but otherwise most else goes.

MS word is my preferred format but will use Open Office/Libre Office. Have also used Google Docs, but edit offline, not live.

PM (now conversations) me your requirements with detail of the category and word count and I will see what I can do.

I usually reply to PM's (Conversations) within 24 hours (allowing for time zone differences)

I want to give editing a try. Please be cautioned, my experience with editing is limited to my own writing.

Category Preferences Include: Gay Male, Noncon, Incest*
Won't Review: Scat, Mind Control

Please keep the work to ~10k words or less.

*Caveat: Not a fan of incest with a younger woman, so not really a fan of Father/Daughter or Little Sister, but I've been surprised before, so run your premise by me, and I might be into it.

I prefer to review your story in Google Sheets so I can leave comments, if that's acceptable to you.
 
Frequent reader of erotica. I am happy to be your soundboard if you need someone to bounce ideas off of during the writing process.

I'm open to editing just about anything, with a special interest in Lesbian Sex, Anal (no scat, please, but no problems with mentions of enemas and such), R/NC, and Incest.

Word Limit: 15k maximum
 
Happy to help when I can. Anything except Gay Male, Loving Wives and heavily Non-Consensual... oh, and there may be a line where Fetish goes a little too far, but I am open-minded. I will have to set a limit around 10k words due to time on my side, I don't want to leave you hanging around too long. I am a Brit so lean towards British English, but have edited American English before also. If you're interested I've only been writing around 8 years but already have quite a few Hot H stories to my name. Take a look at one or two of the later ones and you'll see my style.

Would you care to beta read some taboo/incest lesbian stuff? Prepping the next part of a multi-part story.

Hello,

Can I message you? I’m working on a lesbian mom and daughter story. It’s from the TV show Mom but you do not need to see it to be able to help/edit.

Thank you!

Absolutely! I've seen a few episodes of that show too and really enjoyed it, so I do have some background.

Are you still available to edit? I have a short femdom story that involves a drug kingpin. But no actual drugs are involved.

I have just picked up a long story to edit that I estimate will take me at least 2 weeks, maybe longer. (I only edit for around one hour each evening) if you can wait that long then contact me again in around 2 weeks.

No hard word limit cap, but I'd be reluctant to help with anything that doesn't have a fixed length (episodic works without a planned arc). I'm not much use when it comes to scat, hard BDSM, non-human, gay male and transgender. That said, give me the premise and I might be flexible.
 
I'm looking for more of a writing buddy than I am for a typical you-send-me-stuff-and-I'll-tell-you-what-to-fix kind of relationship. Someone who has similar story content preferences and writing style to my own, with whom I can share excitement over story ideas, clever turns of phrase, or plot devices we've each come up with, bounce ideas off of, and then finally, when we have something ready, read and suggest improvements for each other's finished drafts. Someone at a similar level of writing skill to me, alongside whom I can grow and develop. Someone who's also looking for the same.

My preferences for story content can be found on my main profile, but as a quick overview, I enjoy:
*deep, believable stories with realistic feelings and buildup
*a large variety of different moods and emotional premises for sexual context
*incest (generally brother-sister, and if not that either another combination where there's no power dynamic, or one where the pursuing party is the one with less power over the other and where the characters eventually develop a healthy, equal power balance)
*experimentation with objects and body parts
*light, consensual pain play (almost always requested by the recipient)
*loving (rather than dominating and humiliating) pee play and period play, including oral and ingestion (again, always recipient-initiated)
*light bondage
*anal/pegging

I do NOT enjoy extreme violence, torture, abuse, harm, scat, vomiting, or things of that nature. Drug use/smoking instantly turn me off, but are not dealbreakers in terms of stories I would be okay reviewing.

Feel free to read the few stories I've posted so far or even message me to ask to see some of my works in progress to get a sense of my general style and whether you think it will mesh with your vibe.

Hello. I have a dub-con (with an instance of non-con) WIP that's over 80K. The best fit is non-consent/Reluctance, but it's also a romance. Really, I'm just looking for help with big picture ideas in the story. There's a twist and ending that I want a second opinion on. If the word count is overwhelming, I can send you an outline of the chapters and some isolated excerpts to make things easier. If you have any more questions or are interested, let me know if I can DM you.
 
I'm looking for a woman beta reader for the latest chapter of my story of my new series Nymph 2 Fish out of Water: Chapter 4 Beware of Greeks bearing Gifts. It's loosely based on the Greek Goddess Erato risking everything for love. It has comedy, romance, mind control, magic, slice of life, sex and what it means to be human. It has a word count of 2456. Reading previous chapters is optional. But may give you a deeper understanding of the characters.
 
Volunteer Editor Update

I will be happy to edit stories in the categories I read. These include
Non-erotic, Novels and novellas, Sci-fi, Mature, Loving Wives, and Romance.

I view editing as part of a collaboration. Once an editor points out recurring problems, the author has a responsibility to address these. An editor is not an unpaid janitor who cleans the same mess unlimited times. I try to help writers succeed.

I have a long story with 255,000 characters in Russian. Will you edit it?
 
Hi, I've become a volunteer editor.

Happy to edit any gender combo, I am a bisexual man and especially enjoy anything queer.

Please don't send me any stories that eroticise violence, race/racism, disability/ableism, intergenerational incest or misogyny. Otherwise, I am generally open to kinky and vanilla writing.

No specific preferred format, anything where I can leave comments. I'll turn on PMs but probably better to contact me via email as I'll see it faster.

Scrappy,

I have a story I have been trying to find an editor for and would like you to take a look if you could.

Anyway, the story is being told about the MC's past. It is ~5800 words.

It is about a woman that follows a local band for a while, then at a house party with the band, she is brought "backstage" and displayed for the band to be played with.

In addition to editing, I also and struggling for a title. So, if you have any ideas for that, I would be more than willing to hear them.

Also, that tags and Categorization. Right now the Category is "Exhibitionist & Voyeur", but I am not sure that is the best for it. The Tags I have it with are "Fingering", "Group", & "Teasing". I am not sure if it needs more or different ones.

Let me know if you have time to read it and give me your feedback. I have it saved to a google drive and will gladly supply the link.
 
Hi everyone,

I only just started volunteering as a Literotica editor this year, but I've already worked with several authors. Great fun! I'm also listed on the Volunteer Editor's Program Page. Below is my blurb from there, but I won't include the long, long list of category preferences that follows. I'm pretty open to most stories. If I had one requirement, it would be this: finish the story.

Your friendly, neighborhood demon,
SFP

Hello there, erotic scribbler,

I'm an amateur writer with an intuitive sense of language. Do you want stronger sentences, better timing and flow, deeper penetration into characters? Or perhaps you're the sort who's seeking ruthless excision of your unnecessary words, merciless shredding of your precious ideas, or just someone who can help fix your stupid spelling, punctuation, and grammar mistakes that autocorrect exacerbated? I can do that. Try me, and all your wildest dreams are still statistically unlikely to come true, but you're a writer, and should already be used to disappointment in the real world.

I have a preference for (but am not limited to) non-vanilla, themes such as: queer, kink, fetish, etc. I'm not into themes of violence, incest, abuse, exploitation, or anything nonconsensual or worse unless it's not glorified and is an important part of the story.

Happy to read any prose, including plays and screenplays (does anyone post those here??).

PDF is great, but I can deal with other formats. If we work together, we can even move it to Google Docs.

Please don't ask for my help with your AI-written works.

Cheers,
SFP

Good Morning,

First post and wanting to throw my hat in as an editor. I've been reading LE for many years but never found myself signing up so just lurking.

I've been writing and role-playing for probably over two decades now (It's mad just writing that!) I can offer many suggestions and ideas to various story types.

Not into N/C, though dubcon, no incest, disability or raceplay.

Other then that I'm fairly open, show me what you've got!
