Hi! Shockingly, I'm new here.

I am a life-long reader (reading the classics by kindergarten) and love to write. I think, however, that I am most interested in getting into proofreading and editing for others. I just got on the forums and haven't really looked around, but if you know of a good one that corresponds to proofing/editing please let me know. Thanks!

BTW, I most enjoy SciFi/Fantasy, but will read anything anything anything.

Thanks for reading!
Jim

Hi. I was going to mention the beta readers forum but someone beat me to it. Might want to poke your head in the editor forum to see what's going on there and the kinds of things people are concerned with.

Thanks Lewis, I guess I'm unsure of how to find specific forums like the beta readers and the editor forums.. This is my first experience with a site like this. Thanks!
