I Am Offering FREE Editing

#1
Heyoh Beans,

I'm offering free editing services for up to five thousand words for the first person who replies. I may offer this again if this collaboration works out.

Just to make things clear, here is a list of things I do NOT offer:

  • I will not act as your structural editor to discuss continuity questions, plot development, or character development.

  • I will not give you my opinions of your overall story and how to improve it

  • I will not hold your hand and tell you you're the next big thing

Here is what I DO offer:

  • basic grammar fixes including punctuation and spelling

  • reduction of adverbs

  • changes of passive voice to active voice. minimizing passive voice.

  • simplifying sentences in favor of economical reading

My services don't offer everything you would ever want in an editor, let alone a copy editor. This will not be a good fit for everyone, but may be what a few of you are looking for.  I will give you a copy of my work in highlighted text so you can consider my suggestions at your whim.

The purpose of this free editing is to use as an example for when I finally charge for my work. First come, first serve.

Except of course if your offer only applies to those who already have their story on RRL?

It's free. Send me a link of whatever you want me to edit, up to 5k. I'll send my suggestions back via evernote link. Do with it what you will.
