I could use an editor · 1:26am Jan 15th, 2015

For two reasons:

A: As good as I am at grammar and spelling - and catching my errors - it's getting to the point where I don't have the time to comb through each story and find them.

B: I tried to submit Saints and Sparkles to Equestria Daily, but they said no, showed me their omnibus thing, and had me spend the following hour looking for what I did wrong.


I didn't want to do this, as I'd rather not be waiting for an editor's "green light" before posting , but I think it'd be best.

I'd prefer that those interested have writing experience of their own and maybe even know what the EQD pre-readers are looking for to help me figure out where I went wrong.

I know that this kind of defeats the purpose, but you could always submit your work, have the editor go through everything, then replace the work that you submitted. You don't need to wait for your editor this way.

I think you can do this at least...

2723272 True, and I might just do that.

I looked on EqD a few days ago. Was going to try to submit my stories, but their rules say no human/anthro. That kinda rules out my two biggest pieces, and probably Saints & Sparkles too.

2723625 Just went and checked, and it's "no humanized/anthro". As in, no ponies turned into humans, and no anthro ponies. If they were actually forbidding humans in their featured fics, they'd have to go back through their archive and remove a decent portion of what's been posted.
