roomfor1more September's availability

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. If your story is not on my preferred list, its length is less than 7,500 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.

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
  • Provided the story is not on my, "Stories I will not edit," list I will work with UK authors who want help with US English or US authors wanting help with UK words.

Stories I will not edit

  • Incest / Taboo
  • Celebrities
  • Romance
  • Non-sex
  • Stories longer than 7,500 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  • Stories that will not be published on Literotica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.

Available...

I am also available for editing. I am a college student so please bear with me since it may take me longer to finish these things. I am willing to edit the following genres:

First Time
Interracial Love
Non-Consent/Reluctance
NonHuman
Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Romance
Novels/Novellas
Erotic Couplings

I am helpful when correcting spelling errors, plot holes, characterization, grammar, etc. Feel free to go to my page and contact me if you would like me to edit your work.
 
I am available to do copy or literary editing.

I check email every day and try to reply as soon as I receive a query. I require at least a day for a short story that just needs copy-editing, but may need up to a week depending upon workload, size of the story and how much feedback you require.

I have edited a few stories for literotica members and am a professional copy-editor in a media organisaton.

I prefer to edit:

* BDSM
* mind control
* fantasy/SF
* fantasy non-human
* non-consent/reluctance that does not involve outright rape
* group

I will not edit:

* incest
* bestiality
* straight rape/abuse

I prefer not to edit:

* gay male
* celebrities

I find it most useful to use Track Changes and Notes in OpenOffice/LibreOffice/Microsoft Word, but I don't personally use Microsoft products so I am very flexible around file formats and how you would like feedback.

Please email with a brief synopsis of your story before sending me any file, and I will let you know if I am able to assist you and what my timeframe is.
 
Currently have five stories to edit, one a novella by an author who wishes me to edit several of her stories. Currently not accepting new offers until I finish what I have. I would remove my post, but I don't know how.

Bio - I am an avid reader of Literotica stories, as well as books in general. I am a stickler for spelling and grammar errors, as well. I love to read in general, and read quite fast. I am new to the editing scene, tho I have edited a few of my friend's stories back in high school.
I am open to all types of stories, and all types of writing styles. If you choose me to edit your stories, it would be an honor to work with you. :)

Editor Needed

Would love for you to take a look at my story. Message me if you are interested. Thanks
 
Available for Editing

I've been editing on Lit since December 2010, and am available this month for some editing work. I am a voracious reader who doesn't want to see the movie instead of reading the book. I am also anal to the occasional fault. I read with an eye for punctuation, grammar, syntax, and style. I am not a creative writer in a professional sense, rather a systems analyst. My work tasks require exacting precision with written language.

My tastes are fairly broad but usually exacting - I am definitely a music purist of a sort, so I may not be your best choice if the story to edit involves a lot of current popular culture.

I have had a few pieces of poetry published, a long time ago.

Category Exclusions - I will not edit:
• Celebrities
• Erotic Horror
• Gay Male
• How To
• Incest/Taboo
• Letters and Transcripts
• Mind Control
• Non-English
• NonConsent/Reluctance stories that include a rape within the narrative
• NonHuman
• Reviews and Essays
• Text with Audio
• Toys and Masturbation
• Transsexuals and Cross Dressers
• Poetry with Audio
• Adult Comics
• Erotic Art

I require 7 to 10 days to fully conduct a thorough review and edit the story/submission.

I read the story a minimum of four times, with different levels of granularity and focus

The story must be sent in an attached file, not as text embedded within an e-mail message.

I prefer to use Microsoft Word, in order to take advantage of the Track Changes feature, as well as the ability to insert Comments.

Files in OpenOffice format must be saved such that MS Word can open the files.

Multiple passes through a version, chapter, or draft is preferable. I will perform a one-off review, but I am certain that the multiple-pass approach yields a better final version.

I am the editor, not the writer; the writer retains all rights to disregard my editorial suggestions and findings. I note that willingness to negotiate by both parties makes the editorial process quite a bit easier.

If real-time events restrict my ability to meet a delivery deadline, I will notify the writer as quickly as possible.

I prefer the use of Lit user/site names; I prefer, but do not require, anonymity.
 
Willing To Help!

I've been editing since Nov 2010 on LIT and also on Storiesonilne.net, So I have some experience...

If you'd like to shoot me your story, PM ME PLEASE and we can talk!

The only stories I prefer NOT to edit are:
NonHuman
Sci-Fi/Fantasy

Almost everything else, I'm game for!

Check out my stories or there are a few authors in the LIT family that can attest to my help to them!

Feel free to contact me!
