Looking for an editor · 5:18am Feb 20th, 2012
Hello, psychicscubadiver here. Unfortunately Silentcarto's busy at the moment so I'm short one editor. Is there anyone crazy enough out there to brave my unvarnished words? More seriously, it would be a big help if y'all got the word out since I'm not too sure how to go about looking for one myself.
I could help if you need it. I have loads of free time what with not having a job at the moment. I can read at an average speed between 500 words per minute and 800 words per minute with a max of 1300 words per minute. Any mistakes usually make me stop in my tracks so I should be able to spot any with relative ease. I also know how to "track changes" and Microsoft Word in the event you yourself would like to specifically see what edits I've made (should you chose me).
I've done it once or twice for some people, though I consider myself still a novice at it. If you're not afraid by that statement, I would be more than glad to lend a hand. Otherwise I can try, and see if I know anyone.
Best place to look for an editor is on Ponychan's Fic thread. You can brose to see which ones are free and do the best work.
Personally I consider myself a decent proofreader and practiced reviewer but when it comes to proper editing for polishing and refinement of prose I do not have the experience... yet.
