Introduction

Thanks for taking a look at my profile, I regularly check my emails and pms. Normally I try to respond within 48 hours but sometimes it may take longer due to my other commitments.

As an editor, I do have preferences for stories and there are stories I will not edit, see my list. In additional I have experience with both UK & US English.

My preference for stories to edit:

• Cuckold
• Domination / Submission, especially stories that has cuckolding as a part of it.
• Threesomes
• Group sex
• How To
• Essay / Reviews
• Working with New Authors
• Working with UK authors that want help with US English, UK authors wanting a UK editor, US authors wanting help with UK English, or US authors wanting to ask questions about the UK in order to write their story for Literotica.

Finally, if your story is not on my preferred list, its length is less than 10,000 words, and does not contain scenes that are listed on my, "Stories I will not edit," then please contact me since I maybe willing to edit it.


Stories I will not edit

• Incest / Taboo
• Celebrities
• Romance
• Non-sex
• Stories longer than 10,000 words
• Story that will be published in chapters
• Chapter of a story
• Stories I have previously rejected
• Stories that will not be published on Literotica
• Stories to be edited using Open Office

Editing focus, Editing Request, & Submission of story for editing

The focus of my editing is on story structure, story flow, and character development. Nonetheless, I will spend some time focusing on spelling and grammar. This means most of my editing is on story content versus ensuring that the writing complies with all of the rules regarding grammar.

When contacting me about editing please include the following:

• Type of story
• Approximate length
• Type of editing being sought
• If the story has been rejected by the Literotica, the reason for the rejection.
• Format of story, Word, RTF, of if you will copy & paste the story into your email
• If I accept your story I will need your email address

Finally, my preferred editing format is Word since it allows me to show my editing marks and comments. In the past I have tried using Open Office and based on experience with it, I will not edit using Open Office. Other formats such as RTF or copy & paste is acceptable for me. However due to the limitations using formats other than Word, my editing feedback is more of a summary rather than specific.

Hello everyone, I'm available in December, but probably not until the middle as I've some other work to edit. I'll turn my hand to most things, so drop me a line if you'd like some assistance.

By the way, when I say most things, I'd rather not edit anything that involves Santa, elves, reindeer or liberal applications of myrrh to someone's nether regions. Please don't take Christmas from me.

Other than that, we should be good.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Kitty

I'm available this month to look over stories that just need to be proofread.

I expect to be offline for about a week shortly before Christmas, but other than that, I should be able to let you know within a day or 2 whether I can help you with your project.

Available to proofread 12/2011

I will edit just about anything. If you can't afford MS Word, no prob. I also have the free OpenOffice suite. I think Literotica requires stories to be submitted in Word, but most text editing software has a "convert to Word" feature.

The three subjects that I'm uncomfortable working with are

1 Gay
2 Mature
3 BSMD

Will also edit Google docs

Proof Reading

Hi

new to editing so go easy on me please.

i love reading the stories and i hate to be niggly but the 'under where' and other sneaky typos can really confuse the reader and detract from the flow of the story -

authors put in so much effort and if i can help just a tiny bit doing some proof reading ... it would be an honour.

this is what my editor profile says...
Hi there

Native English speaker
Avid reader

Willing to help with those final proof reads while getting into the jist of editing.

If you would like more input then please just say so; and, if I think there are tweaks required for readability then I will make suggestions and hope you will not be offended. (I am based in the UK so if rewrites are required it is sometimes easiest to hash stuff out on the phone - if that suits.)

I have quite a lot of free time at the moment so if you are hoping for a quick turn-around I may be the person you are looking for.

I am happy to receive drafts in MS Word.
I would prefer not to review drafts relating to incest.

If there is anything you would like to know feel free to ask.

Willing to Edit

I am a college student majoring in English in the U.S.
I am willing to edit just about anything except BDSM, Erotic Horror, Fetish, Mind Control, and Transsexuals/Cross-dressers. It's not that I have anything against these categories, I simply don't have much experience with them (reading or otherwise) and would not wish to sell an author short. I especially enjoy editing Gay Male, Non-Human, Romance, and Scifi/Fantasy.
If you have a story you would like me to edit send me a pm with the general idea of the story (main characters, setting, etc.), length, and deadline if there is one. I can do both grammatical and content editing and prefer to do both, though if you only want one I can try and keep my keyboard quiet about the other.
Best,
Anstice

What's left of December...

I am willing to help out with the editing of most stories. My profile stipulates the genres I am willing to tackle and those I am not too eager to touch (due to a lack of experience) .However, I am willing to try edit my 'don't' list if it is just to proof read, and not the actual content editing.
