I need an editor ! !

[AsylumSeeker]

There is no need for apologies. Volunteer editors see stories in all levels of proficiency. Some writers do not use a spell check, even though it is the simplest level of editing. Even a spell check can't help with there, their and they're.

Writing is a craft, and like any craft, from weaving to welding, there are technical skills to be learned and practiced. Anyone can tell a story. Skills make the job easier and certainly make the product better.

A master weaver will instruct the novice in the proper knots which prevent the work from unraveling. The editor's function is much the same.

After all of this "foreplay", for want of a better word, are you still looking for an editor? If so, PM me, this has gone on long enough. Depending on length and qualty I can return in a day or two.

I'm pretty thick-skinned AsylumSeeker, so don't worry about me. I just have a natural tendency to take the side of the underdog. I forgot about this thread the moment I started editing my first story. Thank you for your honesty, however.

My apologies to anyone I may have offended...

To be honest, I have the same tendencies.

I'm not a bad person, although I might try to make you to believe otherwise.

AsylumSeeker,

Please, don't give it a second thought. I do not think you are a bad person. However, if you have any advice to offer a new editor, feel free to do so.

Thank you,
Lexie
