ISO Editor - original Drama - short novel - L/T - no urgency

[PencilScribbler]

Hi everyone. I'm looking for an editor for my first story, "Sean and Dex". It's a gay fiction story with very little sex (saved towards the end but it probably won't be too graphic). It's a humorous friendship story about two best friends who are modern day Robin Hoods with a bit of supernatural elements.

1. Turn around expectations: I would like the turnaround within one week, but I'm okay with two weeks.

 

2. Worked with an Editor/Beta before: No. This is my first story.

 

3. Service needed: Someone to read my story and tell me where it sounds awkward or confusing.

 

4. Service expected: I'd like someone to proof-read my story for grammar, spelling mistakes, make suggestions on how things could

                                 be worded better if it sounds awkward.

                                 I don't need plot suggestions, story changes or anything creative, just editing.

 

5. How much is done: I have six chapters written (19,400 words). I don't know how long the story is going to be. 

 

6. Software: I use Google Docs - I would provide the link to the doc on my Google shared drive. 

 

7. Comments or inline edits: Inline edits, I'm really not that picky. 

 

8. Snippet of story: 

I was feeling pretty lost. I was sad and angry at the world. It was such an unfair place sometimes. There was gang activity everywhere. Important funding were being cut from homeless shelters, orphanages and schools. Donations to these organizations were decreasing every year. Who was there to help those people?

 

I thought about how Dex and I used to make all these plans to help people in need. What happened to those dreams? When did I forget about helping others? I needed to make a change. I needed my life to have meaning.

 

I looked to my warrior who always guarded me. I saw so much potential in him. Life robbed him of an amazing life. Even more so, life robbed the world of the amazing Dex Ramirez these past years. He was smart enough to be anything he wanted to be. With him by my side, I knew we could make a difference.

 

“I want to activate ‘Operation Black Smoke’,” I said. I knew he’d remember and I wouldn't have to explain. He didn't disappoint.

 

He met my gaze and smiled his first genuine smile of the day, "Maybe without the swords."

 

Thanks,

Lizbon
