I have been an editor or erotic fiction both here and elsewhere for several years, including writers from UK, US, Canada, Australia and Denmark. I have also written the occasional story but in RL I write professionally on travel and theatre.
At the moment I have some free time and could take on some editing. My strengths are: grammar, plot, style, openings and beginnings, continuity.
There has been a suggestion of having an 'alternate' list of editors, sort of assistant editors. I would not be prepared to go along with this type of arrangement. As an editor I need some involvement with a writer. Some may be able to edit mechanically but I need to get to know my writer and establish, over time, a rapport with them.
As this is in my spare time and gratis, I like to edit what I like to read and I am not keen on certain subjects including: scat, snuff, female humiliation (unless it is integral to the story line). I am not keen on a lot of SF either. My preferred stories are ones which can be from real life, even stetch my credulity, take me to fantasy perhaps, but not that take me into a world I can't believe. And one other thing I much prefer working with women writers.
If any lady writer feels I could be of help -- but I do expect a writer at least to have run their story through a spell-checker!
