Offers for Proofreading, Editing and Sub-Editing Thread

I can probably offer myself to be a sub-editor for anyone who needed the help. I need something to keep up my writing anyways, so editing might help. I'm not as good at making changes in plot or fixing structure in that way, but I can aid in fixing spelling, grammar, and sentence structure.

Hm would you maybe look over some future stories I'm writing? I really need just grammar and spelling help because well, I'm not an native English speaker ^^; . Would be very nice from you and I owe you something

I like this thread and I shall offer my services. I visit this site 5-6 times a day EVERY day so feel free to pm your work to me. (Yes I have no life.) I'll send it back looking like it had been written by Shakespeare himself. Ok maybe not... but nearly!

Sure, I could give it a shot! When you need to get it done, just send me a PM so we don't need to clutter this thread or anything. And don't feel obligated to pay me back in any way, I'm also fine with just helping out of good will.

I could use help when it comes to spelling and getting my point across when I write. My weird thought patterns make it hard for some people to understand what I mean.

Well I've been open to proofreading in the past so I suppose I can put my services up for anyone who reads this thread. Just remember that I will be happy to tell you how and where you had trouble in case you want constructive criticism. I don't want to help someone that doesn't want to get better!

If the stories I've written are any proof you have no need to worry about me becoming confused or disoriented by anything. I can make sense of the most crazy stuff imaginable so don't think that you are beyond help no matter how bad you think you are! Writing is a method of expression, its just sometimes hard to learn how to use the tool.

Call me beep me if you want to reach me, or even PM me with the sitch. You'll probably get a faster response by PMing my DA account but sending a PM here is just as likely to be received.

Hello there um can I please get the help of a... dang it not sure of how the heck the order is supposed to go... does it go:

editor -> sub editor -> proof reader

Or does it go the other way around...

So can some one please help me with a story I am writing I got first portion of it completed. I just need some help fine tuning it... before I want to officially call it "complete". So thank you for any help.

Hey guys, I've been working on a story for a week or two now, the prologue is done and the first chapter's draft is nearly complete as well. (Though I may divide it into two chapters, it's starting to run long)
I'd like someone to proofread it for me in the near future, possibly do some sub-editing.
I ran it through a program but everyone knows how reliable those are
I'm reasonably sure it's OK, I'm pretty good at double checking myself but it is my first story ever so... just in case.
Be forewarned though, it's going on 8000 words and I'm not done yet, so it's by no means a short one.
Send me a PM if you're interested and have the time!
If not I'll just post it here in pieces, see what everyone thinks and then put up the final version on DA
Thanks!

(P.s. Does anyone have a trick to make absolutely sure none of my character's names have been used before, I just search the forum, Google, dA and my memory but still; I'm just paranoid like that)

Can I use some help with grammar checking? I need Sub-Editor to check my story (5 "word's" pages, lots of text), I'd be more than grateful for it.

("Noisy steppe wind", need some constructive criticism as well)

I need some help too. I just finished a rather large section of Mara's Adventures, and Sean_Okotami is willing to look it over, but I'm wondering if there was anyone else with more free time?

I just finished Felaryan Odyssey 2. It's sort of an introductory chapter for my neko, felicity. I've posted it up on google docs, and i'd appreciate it if someone would proofread it (warning: it's 7000 words long).

I'd love to be of assistance, if anybody needs to have a story proofread, feel free to shoot me a PM over at DA. My username's Shadeofheave there as well.

Now studying Business in a government facility. I need proofreading practice. Requests?

I didn't know this thread existed but now I do and would like to submit my candidacy as a proofreader/editor. I am not a writing major and don't have "professional experience", but I can say with no exaggeration that I'm very highly gifted with the English language and am very adept at finding spelling and grammar errors. If any of you want something proofread, and some advice for improving things like paragraph structure, clarity, etc. I would be glad of the opportunity.

Hello I need some help to proof reading and edit a story. I have done all I can to try and clean up most of the glaringly wrong grammar errors and typo's however prolonged exposure to the same thing tends to cloud ones eyes to certain things easily missed. If anyone would like to help me I am easily reached here on forum by PM (or notes on DA) and by MSN but I would prefer PM's here than DA.

I would love it if someone read my concept and commented on it. I cant post links yet though so it's on my deviantart page labeled The 4th guards of Felarya New Bio.

Thanks a bunch

Walkingbyself, if you haven't found someone yet I'm willing to help! I can funcion as editor, "sub-editor", and proofreader so you needn't worry about the order! PM me the details if you accept.

Hey i hope it's alright for me to ask for some help.
the reason is, i need some proofreading, mostly due to me not being the, best with writting skill, Comma's such.
so far i have done my very best writting two bios and six chapters, and spendt hours trying to edit and re-edit again and again.
So i was hoping if possible, that one you nice folks on this forum, would help me with that?

Thank you. for your time.
and have nice day

Hi everyone. I would like to seek for a proofreader (with a little of editing if the person has time) for a story and a bio of mine. I would like to get my stuffs readed once before posting ^^

Dibs!
I can do it! I admit I have a few thingies going on in my life atm, but if you can wait maybe two weeks I should have no trouble. If not, feel free to grab someone else.

2 weeks is a bit too long to me. I have a story that has been undergone proofreading for 2 weeks by a friend, and then that friend of mine has some trouble in his real life, so I have to cancel that plan >.<

Any more waiting will make me pour cooking oil on myself then do a flame dance on the bridge of the Forgotten Temple. So I guess I should be on my own from now :/

Thank for the offer anyway. Hope you will read it on my DA ^^

So para, still up for your offer to help with proof reading? Chapter 4 of 'She Who Dares Wins' is pretty much done (hurray!) It's roughtly 5,800 words

Sure, I'm up for it.

Okay I will PM to you then,

I'm looking for an editor who can suggest changes or improvements to the story/plot.
