Are their people here who will edit a story in progress?

[Cody Hastings]

I am currently writing a story about gay teen boys in a fantasy setting. It is progressing slowly but I have written 18 chapters to date. In most cases, my stories write themselves so I am always curious to see how they turn out!  Anyway, I could use some opinion about the story line, character development and writing clarity - editing - that might help me make the thing clearer as it moves on. Any help would be appreciated and feel free to ask questions. The sexuality in the story is minimal (so far) although the language can be rather graphic as is common to young adolescent boys.

 

Thank you in advance!

First off, welcome to GA again. 🙂

 

To answer your question, yes, there are a number of members of GA who volunteer their time to do editing for us Authors. Most of them have a greenish EDITOR badge, like our Author badge here on the forums. 

 

The best way to contact one is to use the Private Club for Authors located here:

 

There is an Editor forum there, where you can put in a request for an editor to help you, with your story. I've found that once you've posted a request it can take a couple of days, but you will be contacted by one, usually via private message.
