Giovanni Jacobs | 382 comments Hey there!
Need a quick edit so your first few pages are absolutely sparkling for literary agents?
I've got a postgrad in English and an editing certificate from my alma mater, the University of Cape Town, which is in the top 1% of universities in the world.
I'll line and developmentally edit the first two chapters of your novel for free.
this includes
spelling and grammar
repetition
flow
tone
style
prose/infofumping corrections
pacing

DM me for further details! I hope to work with you soon!

Jackie Batston (bandi) | 31 comments Dio worked on my WIP novel, prologue and two chapters. He was fast (about 24 hours), thorough (I got both inline comments and a detailed report of not just what's wrong but how it could be fixed, the invaluable specifics), and frank. If you are faint of heart, give him a miss. But if you have a croc hide when it comes to deserved criticism then he's the man for your book.
Thanks Gio, for the honesty and the encouragement. I hope to be back.

EN Heim (enheim) | 28 comments Are you available to read my book, tentative title: My 60 ...? I'll send you the first x-pages if you agree. Mainly to see if it suits your interest. The story is told in memoir form and is about a marriage that lasted 60 years. Its dysfunction, insights, understanding, and awareness.

Theme: sizzling erotica

Jessie Walters | 14 comments hi there, i have a finished 88k YA sci-fi/dystopian novel in a school setting. I would love to take you up on the offer of a free edit for first few chapters!

It on it's 4th draft and i would like to send out some queries after the next round of edits so would be interested in what you think.

Meika has always known it was her destiny to graduate a star musician from the prestigious Cultural Arts Academy, just as her parents had before her. But when a family tragedy plunges her future into uncertainty, Meika is forced to choose how much she is willing to sacrifice in order to achieve her dream.
In a city where the elite value their 'organic' bodies above all else, and an underclass of Toxin addicts sell their organs and replace them with cheap mechanical 'medmech' alternatives, can Meika keep the song in her heart without selling her soul?
