PoppyQueen there are several types of editing:
1. Developmental editing - looking at the plot holes, gaps, weak parts
2. Line editing - editing the sentence structure
3.Polishing
I have been a beta reader for more than a year now for professional authors helping with number 1, developmental editing. Which editing are you referring to?
I would be able to offer my support for one developmental editing book per month since I don't have much time. However I choose the genre where I accept the books, and that is exclusive to BL/Yaoi/Danmei. Also the book must be completed. I can't do successful developmental editing on a work in progress.
Any kind of editing is fine. The thing is, I myself also need an editor. Most people commented that editing can help my story.
Already added your story since it's in the genre I like. Will check it out.
XiaXiaLake I would like developmental editing but my book isn’t complete. Let me know if you can help out.

MishaK Hi, is it BL/Yaoi/Danmei?
- Edited
Later edit: found it. I'm sorry I hope you can understand. I have less than 90 min per day free to read and I prefer to use that time to read novels in the genres I like. Developmental editing would feel like a 9-5 hrs work day if not done in my favorite genre and that I'm trying to avoid since my work day is close to 10 hours/day in a stressful corporate environment.
XiaXiaLake that’s ok. No issues.
I could be a editor as far as polishing goes? I’ve never done it before, but I’d be interested in giving it a try!

I have an older boys love/girls love hybrid, do you have exclusive preferences for genre itself?
Mainly the issue is first and third pov switch between arcs, which could be fixed by making them volumes I guess.
For my older LN. Newer one is only similar in genre but wip and girls love only.
If anyone needs someone to fix the grammar, you can pin me anytime and maybe we can work it out
I do editing for $100 per chapter.
Publishers who are available to edit, put their prices and their skills, how to be good at correcting the plot of a novel or just be good at correcting the grammar. This kind of thing.

Just a note, if a writer is hired by Qidian, he will earn $ 400 at the start, $ 400 a month. This for the author to publish at least two chapters per day between 1000 and 2000 words. And you charge $ 100 per chapter?
Skully_ you just hired an editor! ><
I have good grammar, but I don't know how to be an editor. If someone wants me to just make to take a look at their story, I volunteer because it would help me to. Hit me up.
PoppyQueen Every story should have an editor. Not every editor should have a story.
Take_the_Moon Not sure how great I could be as an editor but I was reading some of your chapters to see what I might be getting into and it just looks like some grammar, punctuation and the clarity of things. Sometimes it moves a bit too fast, or maybe that's because I haven't read any of your previous books... Anyways, just putting it out there if you need an editor.
My colleague, after than Skull put it there as a price to be editor, I'll stay in peace around here.
Thanks for reading the chapter, really my grammar is terrible.
Yes it's very fast, I'm trying to fix this on the other stories.
DragonTreasures For free? If yes.. I will be glad if you can take a look at the grammar in this novel https://m.webnovel.com/book/12316009105249005
First novel, so a lot of fixing to be done..

Take_the_Moon why dont you look me up - perhaps it was a joke - or perhaps for me to sort through a lot of trash I would charge $100 for the effort I would endure rewriting said trash.
Skully_
Whether it's a joke or not, this I can not say, after all, this is written and I do not even know you to know it's a joke, sarcasm or mockery.
About some romance that sucks? This is not for you to say whether a novel is crap or not.
If your answer is no joke, I will not know.
Take_the_Moon I'm happy to proofread the summary and first chapter, which you can use as a reference for your revisions. Is it okay to leave the feedback as a comment on the story?
No problems. I appreciate!
- Edited
Take_the_Moon I've completed a proofread of the summary. I'll aim to do one for the first chapter later on in the day. I decided to use Google docs since there was a lot of explanations. Hopefully, this will be helpful to you. Let me know if you have issues accessing the link.
[Edit: Completed the first chapter feedback as well. Similar feedback to the summary feedback. Keep writing your BL gem.]
