Looking for reviewer(s), editor(s)

[bothways123]

I'm a new author (well, to actually publishing stories) and looking for someone or multiple people to review and act as editor for me. I'm five stories into my first series, with multiple stand alone stories and series planned. I know there are typos, plot holes, grammatical errors and inconsistencies that slip past my self-editing. Is there a specific place on Literotica, other than forums, to find people to help?

I use Google Docs for my drafts, willing to share with those willing to help.

You think about also posting in the Editor's Forum, unless you insist that any editor for your work needs to also be an author.

There's also an Editors tab in your Author Control Panel.

Thank you, Annie. I wasn't aware of the editor tab in the control panel. I'll go check that out.

Your first stop should be the Read Aloud function in Word, or whatever equivalent feature your word processing software uses. That will help you eliminate 99% of typos, repetitions, awkward constructions and inconsistencies.

You have to do it properly, though. Sit down and watch the highlight skip from word to word. Pay attention, so you're both seeing and hearing the text. It's boring, and it's hard work, but the good news is you can usually adjust the speed. Mostly I can do about 5-6000 words an hour.

I don't think Google Docs, which the OP said they were using, has that feature. I suppose there's probably some premium version or an extension available, but as far as I know it's not in the basic capabilities.

It looks like you're after pre-submission help, but if you want a post-published critique, check out the Story Feedback forum.
