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.

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.

I have a BA and an MBA. I am not an English major but I do read and lot and I notice when things either don’t make sense, have grammatical errors or have continuity issues.

Turn Offs:
Trans, gay, trans, hemophrodite, heavy bdsm, pedo, shemale. Not real interested in stroke stories. I prefer engaging characters and compelling stories.

Prefers:
Romance, coming of age, sci-fi, adventure, crime, mystery, military, time travel, western, light bdsm.

Comments:
I have no issue with LGTQ it’s just not in my wheel house. Incest is fine as long as it is isn’t to far out. I mainly read in the areas of romance, cheating, coming of age, sci-fi, time travel, true, historical, drama, action/adventure, fantasy and thriller. Hit me up and we can talk about what you are writing and decide whether we can work together. I don’t write the story, I help to clean it up and make it a more enjoyable read.

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. Your first million published words are just practice. If people hate what you write, you're just practicing. This is advice I read somewhere - I can't recall who wrote it, now. But, it works.
