So I'm wondering if one of you authors could proof read a story I've Written and need honest feedback its too long to post directly here so if someone could please inbox me and ill be happy to send it.
 
Wow. Wrong category. Shitty grammar in your request, and you ask for an editor. You do realize that your request is one long run-on sentence. Not a chance in hell.....
 
Apologies. Was evil for other reasons and the op got the brunt of it. I apologize and hope that the op finds a solution. If editing is needed, I offer my hat to the ring to make up for it. Between chapters.... and I am an asshole. But I’m an honest asshole:
 
Wow maybe ill delete the story and forget about it then...... I asked for honest feedback for to be set on fire for grammar etc.

If you would like to read it please inbox me im not going to post something on a forum if im just going to be attacked for having a go, I asked in the authors hangout thinking it would be the best place to post.

Thanks for trying those that have but think ill keep it to myself.

Severely disappointed aspiring writer
 
Don't react to one person having a go at you. Sir M is having a bad day, I think :).

When the thread gets moved to the Editors Forum, someone will come along and offer help, and you can tidy up your story. Don't give up so soon.
 
Ask yourself.... are you an author? Or just want to be... you posted as a wanna be in the wrong forum.
If you’re so afraid now, then stop here. Otherwise...... shut up and try.
 
I seriously suck at grammar myself or I would offer to help while I am doing my winter hibernation thing for two weeks. I have a couple of great proofreaders, that are evidence that someone will come and help. Trust me once you start posting more stories they will come out of the woodwork to tell you they are there to help you with lousy grammar. At least that's how it happened for me. ^_^

Don't give up until they make you :)

Haven't given up just was a little bit taken back but i've posted on the other forum requesting someone to proof read it for me I think im fairly close.
 
What the crazy Aussie lady just said.

Many a famous author owes much of that fame to an unheralded editor. The only way to get published is to try.

Oh, and welcome to our mad, mad world.

Thanks for the words of encouragement i have reedited the story just want someone to read the story to put the final touches on it.

Mad props for owning your shit. You're a standout in this day and age

Something to think about these days is a lot of people post from their phone and there's some weird auto correct stuff happening that when you hit send has you looking at what you sent...and its not close to what you thought you sent.

Or the guy just really needs some help, but at least recognizes it.
 
Erotic coupling i believe its going to a foreign country and meeting a girl and the fun starts kind of story and its 6 pages long Ive proof read it a few times and submitted it wait for some feedback i guess

Erotic couplings sounds like a good bet, but you mention foreign country depending on the 'population' of said foreign country is interracial an option?

I wouldn't get to hung up on Interracial unless it's black-white or the racial aspect is central to the story. Really doesn't seem to make much difference so I'd say go with a category that's relevant unless that Interracial aspect is key.

Not knowing the content of the story I just put it out there as an option, Only the OP knows if it would fit.

Your comment proves a sad point though. That if its not black/white, more specifically black man, white women, why bother these days?

You mean my story about the lost Mongolian explorer and the beautiful Jivaro woman who saves him from the anaconda isn't going to be popular?:eek::(
