The fourth chapter of "Grandpa wake up" is done in draft, but my usual proof reader is otherwise occupied.

Any fans who care to get a preview in return for cleaning up any typos?

It is about 20,000 words long.
 
sure, but all I really need is a proofreader.

If you don't want any edits, why not just use Grammarly or one of the online proofreading websites? They won't pick up mistakes such as "he" instead of "she" (which occur in your other parts of this story), but they would be someplace for you to start.

I would still take it to the Editors Forum. If all you need is a proofreader, and the occasional correction to a typo, that would be the ideal place to look.

For the next chapter of the Grandpa story I was really hoping to find someone familiar with the series, or at least my writing, as it is quite long.
 
Possted in the Editor's Forum. As I feared, no responses so far.

The 7000 word LW story found a reader from a Story Ideas connection. I tried plugging the Incest story at that forum as well, but still no takers.

not familiar with those.
 
proofreader/editor

not familiar with those.

I am a retired university professor who, in my consulting practice, was nicknamed, much to my initial chagrin, "akai sensei." Contact me to discuss your needs.

i do not mean to disparage any of your stories and in truth have lost much sleep being unable to leave your stories midway. That said, I do wish authors would have works carefully checked for correct spelling and misuse of wording.

Grammarly is cumbersome and can be as offensive as Apple's auto-correct in guessing a writer's intentions.

I do have all my stories read by editors before posting, knowing that I am a bad typist and worse proofreader. but a few "oops" sneak through.

Thus my distress that neither of my recent readers are available now.

Not sure how to contact you since you have PMs off.
