Proofreader Anyone? · 2:47pm Jul 8th, 2013
Well, according to the stats of my latest story that I'm currently working on, and the ratio of likes to dislikes, I think that it wouldn't be too bad to get myself a proofreader. Anyone who is more than happy to do so just send me a private message, or just comment below please.
There is, however one thing I want to make sure you know: I'm from America, so if anything looks like it's spelt wrong, point it out and I will send you a message on whether or not I feel it's spelt right; but it shouldn't be a real problem, I tend to spell most of the words I write correctly.
And one last thing: If you would like to be my proofreader, you must qualify for two things. Number one being: I'd like for you to submit a 500 word essay on why you'd like to be my proofreader, with a good opening statement, two supporting details, and a closing statement.
Number two: You must have at least one story published, with at least Five chapters complete.
Do you feel up to the challenge? If so, then start filling out forms!
That is assuming that anyone actually wants to jump through hoops to proofread your story right?
If I might give some advice. When you are asking someone to proofread something for you, you are in effect asking for a favor. The proofreader sets the terms, and gets to decide who or what they want to proofread. Put simply, unless you are Hemingway, Stephen king or some other notable literary figure, fixing your story is not a privilege that I am willing to write a 500 word essay to obtain
.
There are a good amount of groups dedicated to proofreading other peoples stories, I am a part of a few myself(there are two listed on my account page). If you really want this story fixed, I suggest you start there.
best of luck to ya

I clearly see your point here, but you're a few months late... I deleted this story a long time ago. Heh heh. Soooo.... Goodbye.
