Looking for replacement editor & Beta for established story


Recommended Posts

Hey Editors,

 

You may have seen me and/or my stories around the site, very nice to meet you.

 

I'm currently looking for a replacement editor for my story - For Everything You Are. It is currently around 106k words and I would be looking for an editor for future chapters.

 

I currently have 2 stories in progress at the moment, but in terms FEYA I am completing around 1 chapter a week. my software is MSWord, and I have been sending the chapters as attachments over e-mail.

 

If anyone could offer their assistance with a project like this I would love to hear from you.

 

Happy to answer any questions, and in the meantime here's some transcript.....

 

The weekend was approaching and it was unusually warm for the time of year. Jake had just gotten home from school and found the house empty. He walked to his room, pushed back the curtains, and opened the window, a warm afternoon breeze drifting in, filling the room, bringing a fresh smell.

 

He leaned out, the swing chair catching his eye in the back yard. Cody was sitting in it, alone, a half filled glass of orange juice in his hand.

 

“Hey, Code,” he called from the window, smiling. “Where is everyone?”

 

“Your mum and dad went to the school to sort out a placement for me. I think I'm starting Monday,” he replied, looking up.

 

“About time, slacker. Hey, want some company?”

 

“Sure, c’mon down.”

 

“OK, just let me get changed,” Jake stated, disappearing from the open window. He took off his jeans and sweater, and replaced them with a blue vest and sweatpants. Pulling back on his trainers, he went downstairs and into the back yard, dropping himself next to Cody.

 

“Hey, watch it,” Cody winced, having to steady his drink.

 

“So, tomorrow night,” remarked Jake.

 

“What about tomorrow night?” Jake said, uninterested.

 

“You are coming, right?”

 

“Might do,” he huffed.

 

“Hey, why the attitude?”

 

“Because I'm not looking forward to going to this thing on my Jonas.”

 

“You won’t be on your own; you’re going with me, oh, and Ethen, of course.”

 

“Yeah, the happy couple and the hanger on.”

 

Jake just growled at the comment. “Look, you’ll meet people, and I guarantee by the end of the night, you will either be in Luke’s pants, or at least have made a friend or two.”

 

“You keep going on about this Luke. I might not even like him, you know, Mr Match Maker.”

Jake turned to Cody and smiled.

 

“Oh, trust me, you’ll like him. He’s out there, a little like you, not to mention, drop dead gorgeous.”

 

“Yeah, well, what you find DDG, I might not!” Cody went silent for a second before adding, “But describe him to me anyway.” Jake cracked up laughing.

I don't see much happening here and am wanting to get my teeth into something. You still needing an editor or proof-reader? Not that your sample shows that you need it at all! I do follow Commonwealth/British conventions rather than American. Happy to help if I can.
