Edit your fiction!
20
I can provide some light copy edits, general grammar advice, and structural advice on your fiction writing. I will provide encouragement as well as actionable questions to improve your work over-all.
I don't believe in 'harsh' criticism, so if you're looking for a drill sergeant to 'shame you' into being a better writer, that's not my bag. Everyone has a story in them, and suffocating voices because the lack education, experience, or 'mainstream' thinking. I'll be honest with you, but I don't have any interest in tearing you or your writing down. Bad writing is subjective.
This is for one pass on a draft that's a thousand words or less. I can answer some questions after my initial review but I can't do a whole lot of back and forth.
Any genre is okay. I reserve the right so pass if your story is too much for me personally. (Does the dog die? Yeah no thank you.) I support your right to write what you like, but I also support my right to not read what I don't like. :D I'll probably say no to erotica just in general, because I'm not sure I can help with that kind of writing.
Training & Qualifications
I am a professional freelance writer, fiction writer, and teach English. I've been writing professionally for ten years, and have learned a lot about communicating ideas in the process. Because I teach ESL, I'm open to and happy to help second language English writers. Please don't hesitate!
Availability & Preferences
I can only really communicate by email, and I'm on Tokyo time. So there may be a slight delay getting back to you.
