Hi there, I asked a bit back about how I could improve my writing and the tip which I thought was the best was to just get an editor to look over the final draft for things which might break the immersion or just silly small mistakes that ruin the mood in the rest of the text. I've just finished and proofread my next story and would really like to try out getting a second opinion on it, but I don't really like just being given things, so I'd like to give a little feedback and such in a mutual manner for anyone else who feel like they're in the same position.
As an editor, I'm on the grammar-nazi level where I'll react strongly to sentences that start with conjunctions, run-on sentences and the use of the word "and" directly after punctuation of any kind, with the exception of the grammar rules which allow for it. However, I'm not so crazy that I'll flag prepositions at the end of sentences.
Either way, if a mutual late draft edit sounds swell to you, please do reach out and I'll send you the story! Suggestions for a new title and what tags to use would be appreciated in addition to the suggested edits.
