Welcome, FG. :)

First off, I'd suggest checking out the links in this post/thread from the Author's Hangout, as they lead to resources and instructions on submitting, writing, etc.

Could you give a brief synopsis of your story? What categories are covered/will it fit into? (Some editors have preferences and/or won't deal with certain subjects like Nonconsent or Incest)

How much editing have you done already?

What kind of help are you looking for from an editor -- technical, plot, certain parts, overall feedback/suggestions, etc.?

Are you hoping to have the editing done by a certain date, or do you have a prospective timeline?

Many editors, myself included, want to know the answers to those questions prior to agreeing to take on a piece. It's important for authors to find a good match for them and their work so they can get the most out of the editing process as well. I'm sure one of us will be a good fit, and you can also always look through the Volunteer Editor profiles through this page too. :)

hi there. I am a new editor on this site, although I have done lots of editing other places. I would be happy to talk to you more about what you're looking for if you want to email me.

Psssss it looks really bad for you to offer your assistance when you don't even write editor properly. :(

yeah, yeah - I don't know why I never see my own mistakes - only those others have made! (probably has something to do with the fact that I never edit other people's stuff with a baby screaming on my lap.)

Hey it wasn't a complaint...maybe a friendly jab, that's all. I just thought it better for me to tell you than to have some obnoxious writer tell you and rub your face in it. :rose:

If you're revoking my obnoxious license, can I at least be arrogant?

Nope. I haven't had a baby screaming on my lap for thirty years (at least not one who is under 18) and I can never see my own orrers.
