Active Editors - August 2008

[snoopercharmbrights]

Last month was the first attempt at this list, and not too many people signed up. I hope it helped some author(s).

Editors who are active and with time to spare are invited to say so here.

Well I'll be the first

Hey everyone and anyone reading this post. I am an active editor in the month of August!

Check out my profile here on literotica. I'm a graduate student with a degree in Journalism/Editing and I'll edit pretty much any work that literotica accepts because I love to read!

I'm pretty open and get work done fairly fast unless it's a long story, then bear with me it may take me a little longer!

Thanks!

Snooper is much like me (hopefully not as rotund and more healthy) but we are both trying to make Lit thr best it can be (apologies, Snooper, if I have overstated my involvement).

But I can edit well enough to get your story posted on Lit. Not a world-class editor, so don't think otherwise.

Thanks for the thread, Snoops! Always thinking of the well-being of others!

... hopefully not as rotund and more healthy ...

In the interests of technical accuracy: 5 feet 6 inches tall, nearly 20 stones (over 270 pounds), and using a wheelchair.

Please do not feel sorry for me, however, as my problems are self-inflicted - too many pounds round too many rugby pitches for too many seasons ruined my knee joints, and too much good food and wine ruined my waistline, but I don't regret a minute of any of those activities.

I had no idea! You have such a zest for life and a quick wit that I envisioned you otherwise. Guess we must all pay the price for our vices eventually. Been very busy as of late editing, hate to see a writer ignored. Have been there once, only to resolve to edit my own, which I have done with limited success. Good enough to get posted at Lit. And that's all I can promise my writers, having had no formal eductaion in writing.

Ailments and poor health don't always show in a person's attitude.
Accepting that we can't change certain issues lets us get on with living.

Hi all,

Finished all my current edits, so PM or e-mail me if you're still looking.
I usually give a lot of comments, so make sure to tell me if that's not what you're looking for!

Also, I think I'd prefer weirder or kinkier stories, since editing can get pretty tedious XD

Really want to encourage people to try an editor, especially if you've never had one before.

Cheers

Yes, they can be quite hard and tasty, especially after editing a HOT story! But always with a soft, gushy center.

I just got a PM from someone needing some help, but I'm sure I'll have time for more in August.

I seem to be aboard the same ship. My 9-to-5 editing has mutated into 9-to-whenever-I-collapse. I'm trying to help my "regulars" as much as possible but I probably can't take on any new writers for a few weeks.

I'm kind of freelancing at the moment, just flitting in and out as I can. I love to help, but I'm hesitant to make it formal because I've never been an editor before (and have no idea if I would actually make a good one--ask WhiteDragon, he might know). But, yeah. Hi.

offer to edit and ask another more experienced editor to go behind you for a couple of jobs, they can check your work and give you tips. it might make you feel more comfortable.

I'm open - just finishing up my last one.

I'm open this month for editing.....nothing over 6,000 words and no series please...open for any category.

I'm new to the volunteer editing program. I haven't even seen my name on the list yet. However, I am eager to begin!

Welcome

I'm new to the volunteer editing program. I haven't even seen my name on the list yet. However, I am eager to begin!

Could use the assist! More about you?

 

[cloudy]

It's with regret that I have to ask that I be removed from the active editors list. I will no longer be posting on the boards, and I have requested that my stories be deleted.

Y'all take care of each other.

I would like to do some editing. I wouldn't be the best at grammar (I'm solid on that but not editor solid) but I could offer some good advice from the perspective of a fellow author. Flow, character development, voice, stuff like that.

I would even enjoy doing a trade if you would like.
