Wanted: Female Editor for Romance/First Time Story

[Turtle013]

I'm looking for a younger female editor for a Romance/Erotic Coupling Story. The story does involve the first time for the male and pregnancy for the female in future chapters.

Some additional information.
The story is intended to be told from both the main characters points of view.
Other characters will appear from time to time for various reasons.
The first chapter is approximately 2800 words.

Fair question and I thought about it before you even asked.
Late 20's to early 40s as I would like someone who is most likely to have experienced some of the things my female character is going through and keep my over active imagination in check when needed.

Oh, really? Someone else can categorize and limit for a woman what a woman has the skill and time to do by her age bracket? Oh, Really?

Yes, this 57 y/o published writer and occasional professional editor (and attorney), just wont do.. too old ya know...

I want to the story I'm working on to be as realistic as possible. Certain aspects of the story need a point of view that I don't have experience with. While I'm good at technical writing, this is my first attempt at creative writing since college 30 years ago.

If not for the age requirement, I would have taken this on. As it is - sorry, no can do.

You do realize that you just offended more than half of your potential editors, right?

Umm.. Well you do understand that as we get older we have also not only experienced the things you are talking about but a hell of a lot extra?!

It's not as though previous experiences vanish.

I know that. However some things that on one level would appear to be same are not the same. Also time can and has played tricks on some of my memories, and I would guess just about everyone's memories. Change is the one constant in life.

Damn...

Do you think a person over the age of your character skipped over that age and would have no experience and would make your story "unrealistic" with their GRACIOUS & VOLUNTARY, time and contribution to your 2800+ word story? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Have to agree with the commenter who pointed out you just offended potential editors. Because I'm of the age bracket, and though I'm not offended, I have to ALSO not take on this endeavour as I really can't believe how you so ignorantly spat in a persons face willing to help you, and you simply can not see it and continue to justify yourself.
Hope a valuable lesson was learned for you here.
Best of luck.
