Hi there, and thanks for taking the time to read this.

I've been writing for nearly fifteen years now, but due to a series of recent computer disasters, I've lost all my work, so I've begun re-writing, and I've decided to publish for the first time.

I'm looking for contributions from an editor for a tale based in a world where the Human race has been nearly wiped out by a virus, where the survivors are struggling to cope with the complete breakdown of society, and the tale begins about six weeks on.
The story itself is told about a 29 year old scotsman, and how he has to fulfill a promise to help build a new world, and to drag something from the chaos and anarchy that is his present.
From a sexual perspective, it will be mostly heterosexual stuff, with a little lesbian, and eventually perhaps an incest scene, however thats about 12 chapters away. I also intend to explore a few taboo's along the way too.
There will also be several conflicts, a few action scenes, and a fair number of quirky characters to deal with too.
I'm interested in exploring this from a psychological perspective on how the changes in their reality affects their own choices and desires, and would be interested in talking or working with an editor who could help me with that, as well as all the usual little bits and bobs that I've no doubt erred on.

Once again, thanks for taking the time to read this.
I have a 2500 word 1st chapter ready to go, and if you're interested, please drop me a line.
I'd be delighted to know that someone finds this a worthwhile project.
Kind regards,

Jammy
 
A little more info...

I wanted to add that I'm looking for an editor to assist me with the first chapter, and I'm not asking for a commitment to edit a whole series, just a little assistance to get me started.
Perhaps that'll help me avoid the pitfalls of ," or ", etc...

Thanks to all of you who've read thus far...

Yes, I should have stopped when I felt that trip-wire grasping my ankle but mistook it for a blade of grass... dammit!

But he's an easy edit so I'm not minding so much. His style is refreshing for me, different from mine and others I've edited for.

Well thanks again for your help, sir.
Thats it posted, and I've submitted part 2 now too.

The only thing I changed after we'd spoken was the title, but thanks for your assistance - its good to know there's people out there who're prepared to take a chance on the noobs.
