I apologize if this isn’t allowed, but thought I’d give it a try here.
I’m looking to fill a small editor/proofreading gig.
Ideal candidates will be detail-oriented and possess excellent command of the English language and grammar usage as well as punctuation.
BEFORE applying, PLEASE read the entire post!
These are some of the main topics I’m really looking for help with
1. “She” vs. “You” vs. “Her”, etc. When I first started writing these stories, they weren’t meant to be one giant collection. (Which I have several in total, making up “The Voyeur Collection” now). I don’t know what the best way to approach it is for the widest audience appeal. I have heard “you” makes it too personal. I also don’t know about tense, I think most of what I’ve written is in first person present.
2. Consistency throughout the stories, like I said they weren’t meant to be a “collection” and they still don’t need to be. But I would like the main character to carry similarly throughout the stories. If that makes sense?
3. Repetition, I used “I” A LOT and I know that’s frowned upon. I’m not the greatest at knowing when is too much and so I used it by default.
