A former devotee of Techsan, I am searching for an editor

[Frinkles]

Almost two years ago, I started my virgin voyage into this genre with an unfinished interracial/romance submission entitled "The Homecoming." Over the past 12 months a series of family emergencies derailed my writing efforts and left no time in my personal life to continue this piece. The sudden passing of my editor, Techsan, finally squashed with little remnants of a muse I had left. I am on the road to recovery and have undertaken to complete the first piece after first finding my muse with a shorter piece that I was able to finish relatively quickly.

I am interested in finding an editor to review both this new piece and help me finish my longer "period piece."

Due to my attachment to Techsan, I have been reluctant to reach out and seek another editor of his caliber, patience and enthusiasm to help me back on my feet. However, with all of the family drama somewhat behind me, I am dedicated to at least finishing my original submission even if I don't submit any other pieces beyond these two.

Any takers who are willing to help me out?

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 will be very difficult.

You ... page.

Hey Ms.Lynn, that wording is my ©! Oh well, I suppose imitation is the sincerest ...

you might want to think about reframing this request.
as it is you are setting yourself and your new editor up to fail.

who would want to have to compete with an icon.

Oh man, did I leave that part out? For real? I am so sorry, I thought I added it.

Credit to you, as intended.

I don't see it that way at all. It's a challenge, really, to do as good of a job as what the OP feels Tech did. Can someone new take a story of his and edit it as before? I love challenges myself.

As for the competing part, I worried about that the first few times I edited for authors that relied on Tech. It didn't take long before I stopped that nonsense. I know what I can offer an author.
