Looking for a genuine lesbian editor

[sapphicphile]

Hi,
I have written my first erotic story and would like it to be edited by a genuine lesbian. I'm a straight guy, who -I think- appreciates the subtleties of lesbian sex and so would like a (lesbian) woman's perspective. As well, of course, grammar etc.
I've had a look through the editor profiles, but without sifting through all of them there are no obvious candidates.
The story is 3,500 words (Lesbian, Ff, ff, first time, soft, seduction) and is designed to tease rather than satisfy, and leaves a lot of unresolved passion. If it gets reasonably positive reviews I hope to continue it. It's hardly Tipping the Velvet, but it is a start for me!
Any (genuine) lesbian volunteers out there?
Thanks,
Sapphicphile

There are many, many writers who can write wonderful lesbian stories who aren't lesbians. After all, that's what you're trying to do, isn't it?

So, why is it so important that your editor be a lesbian? Wouldn't any lesbian be just as justified in refusing to edit a story not written by a "genuine lesbian"?

If you want, PM and I'll take a look at your story.

To offer technical expertise gained from experience, rather than reading?

No - that would be foolish prejudice.

well then... wouldn't a bi-girl be ok, too?

No - that would be foolish prejudice.

So is your assertion that only a "genuine lesbian" is qualified to edit a lesbian story.

I'm as het as they come, yet I've written a well-received lesbian story, and edit for Colleen Thomas (and if you don't know who she is, you have some reading to do) frequently.

Foolish, indeed.

If you want a half edited story..... I suppose. :grin:

 

[sapphicphile]

Ummm.... OK, perhaps I just need a woman...
.... who is preferably bi-sexual....
.... and even better lesbian

I just want to make sure my story is not male-hetro-centric. I think it needs a woman's touch
