Editor needed

[Frank Noir]

Please don't reply to this one anymore. I did get an editor, who did a fine job.

Well, I just went ahead and posted what I imagined to be a finished story. But now I've gotten feedback about minor mistakes spoiling the reader's enjoyment. And I certainly don't want that.

So - anyone up for editing a 7K word group sex story with some mild (non-violent) non-consensual stuff - and lots of graphic sex? I can mail it to you in Word format.

I assume it's mostly grammatical errors - but it would be nice if you're able to spot obvious mistakes like a character changing hair colour or name halfway through.

Feel free to PM me - your help will be greatly appreciated.

I've got a full plate now or I'd offer. But I wanted to make a couple of comments.

I read your last story, and agree with the folks who commented on the problems. But you've got a good grasp of grammar and punctuation, and I'd bet a paycheck that you just looked at your own story too many times. An editor with a fresh eye would have spotted what you missed, and it's too good a story, IMO, to be left as is.

(After skimming the story, the four things that jumped out at me were a) not knowing whether they were the Black Knights or Black Nights; b) how a woman, lying on her stomach in bed reading a book, can get both her hands down to her crotch; c) why a bank would give the combination to the vault to the tellers; and d) one point where "he" felt somebody's manhood pressed close.)

You know, I think you're absolutely right.

Thanks a lot! I'll deal with those in the manuscript right away - at least that'll save an editor some time.

I'll Bite

Send it to me in a PM with an email address to return it to you at. There's a 3-day weekend coming up for me and a storm heading this way.

Since it's been accepted but just has annoying errors I'll do a strict edit job and fix, unless you specify otherwise (I'm easy).

If I get it soon enough I can probably have it done this evening.
