wolfwriter Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I am looking for someone who can do a turn around of a couple of days per chapter. I have worked with betas before and I am looking for someone who help with someone who can help me make sure that the plot makes sense to the readers; as I am very bad at editing my own work. It would be nice to have some help with grammar but also some general advice. So far I have 9 chapters written 24,094 words. I use Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or Open Office. Primarily Word. I have no preference to whether inline or comments are used. Here is a snippet of the first chapter: I stood there and watched as they folded the flag that had been laid across my brother’s coffin. I couldn’t believe that he was actually gone. He was my best friend and the only one in my family that knew I was gay. Even though he was in the Marines, he was ok with having a gay brother and loved me, regardless of who I loved. My parents stood next to me and you couldn’t tell that they were burying their first born son. Dad believed that real men didn’t show emotion. I could feel his eyes on me and knew that he would be disgusted with me because I was crying for the loss of Sam, my brother. I looked around and saw that there were several Marines from his unit here. There was one in particular that caught my eye. He stood about six foot six with about two hundred and forty pounds of solid muscle. He looked like a typical guy’s guy Marine. I could tell that he was all business, but there was something about him that kept drawing my eyes over to him. My eyes were drawn back to the casket as an officer handed my mom the flag. Thank you for the help in advance. 3
