Are you still interested or have you found an editor? Am available. Would enjoy reading another writer's work after finishing a long piece. This isolation is difficult; made easier with reading/writing.

I proof/edit for several writers whose native languages aren't English.
This is how we do it:
If both use MSWord, I attach a comment* to make a note.
If they're on Google docs, I highlight a passage, or word then include page number in a note in an email.
Most of my edits that I make directly are, upon prior agreement, punctuation. Periods, commas, caps, etc. Content edits are in comment boxes* and either format, I include any comments like "clarify - who's doing that?" or something like, "Needs prior explanation,." Mostly just content that will help keep readers on track understanding to keep the story moving forward.
I just email back and forth with writers. In return, they review my work for me, making suggestions and pointing out where I've assumed too much.
If this interests you, please let me know at MCVT2017@gmail.com
Thanks,

I'm close to being in a position to post a story in 1000 word jumps (I have 60k written so far) I'd like to swap roles with you. -
Thank you. I like to think that the story will tell you what you want/need to hear, rather than me explain. The power of words is that each word, sentence, story feels different to each person who reads it.

Why thank you.

“What about me?” He looked directly at the man before him. “What about what I want?” His fists clenched, nails digging into his palm. He felt them dig, felt the points of pressure. Tried to relax, but it didn’t work. Silence. Silence filled the room and that was enough of an answer. He turned away. Felt a hand on his shoulder. “Don’t.” He shrugged the hand off. “Just don’t.” He turned back. And stepped backwards, closer to the wall, trapping himself. Like he wasn’t already trapped. “Don’t.” He breathed out, trying to exhale the anger, the frustrations. “Not unless you care for me.” The

Enjoying this story immensely, with its twists and turns. part of me can't wait for the finish, but part knows that I'll miss it when it does.

Thank you - I was reading another story and came across the 'cutting-in' line and the scene flashed into my brain.
