I've been around on Storiesonline and before it on ASSTR and the newsgroups for longer than I'd care to admit, and in that time I've worked with and edited for a number of well known writers of erotica. Some of the better known writers I've worked with over the years include: aroslav and EzzyB (currently), the_scribbler, Strickland83, Gina Marie Wylie, Warlord, El Sol, and Don Lockwood, among many others.

Comments:
I generally prefer doing developmental or story/"big picture" editing more than I do doing basic copyediting/proofreading for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Of course I'll correct those things where I find them, but my preference is to focus my editing energy on your overall story, looking at its plot, flow, continuity, character development, pacing, readability, and other such issues. If necessary I can also do the proofreading, but I also know of a number of excellent proofreaders and copyeditors that I've often worked with who may be willing to take on another author. As a rule, another set of eyes during editing/proofreading passes is always good! I'm comfortable editing both British and Australian English and general usage, however may not be fluent in slang or expressions. I also have extensive knowledge of sailing and nautical subjects, including off-shore and long-distance sailing. I have a knowledge of flying private planes / light aircraft, and an extensive knowledge of ambulances/EMS/emergency rooms/paramedicine in the US.

Turn Offs:
No pre-teen or age-inappropriate sex, or any central sexual violence. Moderate, consensual BDSM is okay. No bestiality, furry, or anything non-consensual. It's really more about the flavor of the story than any hard category filters, so feel free to ask.

Prefers:
I particularly like MC, Magic, SciFi, and historical fiction, but I'm willing to deal with almost any genre.

Hmmm. Professional "Technical Writer"? Author here and on A.S.S.? I used to help cmsix with his history? I used to tutor novices on A.S.S.D? Do any of those count as "credentials" here? Oh, yeah, I've been proofreading for the "Swarm Cycle" author's group for years; more than a hundred stories on that list should have proofreading/editing credited to me. And quite a few non-Swarm stories by the same authors. Should I give special mention to Allan Joyal's "Jord" series of novels? He's selling them on Amazon now, with me listed as proofreader.

Turn Offs:
3rd grade English - I can help you write, check spelling, grammar, etc. I cannot teach you how to speak English. I don't have any subject turn-offs. Well, _I_ do, but that won't stop me from helping you make your incredibly gross story into an incredibly interesting gross story.

Prefers:
Stories with plots and interesting characters - I help you make your story better.

Comments:
Look, there's a difference between an 'editor' who manages the story and a 'proofreader' who finds all the errors for you to fix. I can do either or both but here on SOL the author is in charge. My mother was an English teacher. Because I'm a slow learner, I married one, too. I'll be a grammar and spelling Nazi if that's what you want, but I WON'T change the way you want to write. I'm here to help you, not change your story.

My standard advice for writing: Keep notes for longer stories to avoid inconsistencies. Write a thousand words or more per day, even if it's crap and you delete it the following day.
