Hehehe... was that enough suck up? I need a favor. I have a short story, aprox 9k in length, that I need special erotica beta-reading on.
I have two specific things I need help on.
1.) grammar. The editor who sent it back to me as a rejection, but with an open invite to bypass submission pile and revise, then send direct to the editor... said, it was too full of grammatical errors and that's one (of many) weak areas I have. So I need a good stiff... cleansing of grammatical errors. =o)
2.) Pointing out any sentences that are over the top "telling"... I have a hard time identifying them on my own work, but that was the other thing the editor mentioned they'd like me to work on.
I've done an extensive overhaul, but before I send it on... I need a couple people to do those sweeps for me. The story is fine, the characters are fine. Editor loved all that. I just need a grammar sweep and if any of the sentences are REALLY bad telling. I know there is mild "telling" sentences and those are fine, but if there is any info-dumping, blatant telling... I need those pointed out.
Any takers... please email me at brindle(dot) chase at yahoo (dot) com with Diva in the subject line... I'd be forever grateful!!!
