  • Please I need someone who can edit my novel for free ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Have been told to get an editor for my novel, or use the Grammarly app

I downloaded the app and edited the story all over, but still, get criticized, am not sure what am missing during the editing

So please help out a sister in need here, if you are comfortable with it, and most importantly if you can do it for free๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

    The basics of editing, which is capitalizing what needs to be capitalized (proper nouns, beginning of sentences). I think i also spotted a problem with your periods and commas.

    Grammarly can help you to such an extent but getting someone to edit your story for you is the best option.

    I sincerely hope you can find your editor. Good luck!

      I can try editing it if you want, if you still haven't found one

        Today is Clara first day working as a cleaner at mansion, her friend referred/introduced her to this job, after many failures to secure a job and have a stable life.
        I just edited the first, just as an example what do you think ?

          Today is Clara's first day working as a cleaner at the mansion her friend referred her to. After so many failures at securing a stable job and improve the quality of her life...

          Aside from capitalization, do note of apostrophes. Good luck to both of you! Don't stop writing and don't stop learning how to edit properly! Hopefully, you can get a lot of readers with your team! โ˜บโ˜บโ˜บ

            Clara started her first day as a cleaner in a mansion. It was only after many failures at securing a stable job (consequentially failing at improving her quality of life), that her friend finally referred her to this oneโ€”

            Hey donโ€™t get me wrong, you did good correcting all the mistakes, but technically that was only proof reading; editing consists of a bit more, such as reconstructing sentences, fixing passive verbs,
            gerunds, cutting out needless wordsโ€”all in all, improving readability.

            Then again, I donโ€™t work as an editor professionally, so I may not have any idea of what I am talking about, but that is usually what I and other editors on this site do (for translated novels).
