Aroslav (A Thousand Words, Art Project, Yelloweye), EzzyB (all of the Chaos stories), the_scribbler, Strickland83, Warlord I'm a published non-fiction author who has for many years been an acquisitions editor for a small niche-market publishing house, in addition to continuing my work as a freelance developmental editor and occasional book doctor. 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. Oh, and I support the Oxford comma. ;)

Prefers:
Romance, Coming of Age, School/College, Incest, Slow, Genre-type stories (ie: Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Time Travel, Historical, etc.)

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.

Voracious reader. Curious mind. Studied English and philosophy pretty seriously. Open minded.

Turn Offs:
A little non-consensual is one thing; too much of it is ... too much. Not interested in gay male stuff, not because I’m against it, just not excited by it. I also prefer for fiction to have some basis in reality/possibility. That’s just me.

Prefers:
Anything I’d like to read, and I won’t hesitate to let you know if I find something boring or too ridiculous to get involved in. I particularly like erotica that has sex in it and not so much sex that is just two (or more) people with bodies.

Comments:
I am disabled and an insomniac. I love to read, and get frustrated with repeated words, misspelled or misplaced words. Would like to proof read for someone if needed.. I have two special needs children so sometimes get distracted. But I olso do proofreading for myself when I feel the story is worth it. I read my favorite stories over and over, and hate when I stumble across word jumbles. I have been known to spend months fixing my favorite stories just so I can read smoothly the next time.

I don't have any official credentials but for the longest time people come to me to proofread stuff. Although English is not my native language, it's mostly for English. Even though it isn't my native language, I'm an avid SOL reader and see a lot of (remaining?) mistakes in what I read here. So I figured instead of grumbling about it, do something about it.

Credentials:
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.
