Hello, I'm Travo!

I'm back! Technically. Not writing wise but I had some free time and I decided to take a look at the work around here. And gosh was I disappointed. The work quality got lower from the last time I left! What is up with that?

But...instead of just pointing out a problem that everybody else has already pointed out, I should also come up with a solution. And to do that we have to identify the cause of the drop in quality.

The biggest problem is many Authors here aren't native English speakers. Meaning they make a lot of mistakes when writing. And that's okay. It's fine. It's not really a problem. But there is a way to make your work improve a lot.

It's by getting an editor!!!!!

Shocking yes! Who would've thought right?

But you might be saying, "Aren't editors too expensive?" and "Don't I need to have a large following to get one?"

Well yes, you're right I suppose. But I have a solution! I'll edit 2-3 of you chapters for free!!!!!!!

Yes. You heard me right. For free! No credit card required. No email. No nothing! It's like a free trial that you can cancel anytime you want! Feel free to come back with 10 alt accounts btw. I don't judge.

As long as it isn't a FANFICTION I will edit 2-3 chapters for free!!.

I don't edit fanfictions because they get dropped too quick, too often. All my hard work gets thrown in the drain for nothing.

    All jokes and exaggerations aside, you guys have really good stuff. All your novels need is that extra touch up and I think it'll be a diamond in the rough.

      Travo I would gladly take you up on your offer. Do I provide you with a link to the story or do I simply post the entire chapter here?

        I am curious to know how you are getting edited chapters back to the author. I have been considering doing some editing as well, but I can’t figure out how to deliver the suggestions.

          Travo How about you help that translator of Warlord of Chaos. My eyes hurt.

            Travo to think that it was a translated novel needing it... i'm shooktd. how did they pass that translator/editor exam? is there no editor assigned to that translator? No wonder editor gets paid at least $5 for a chapter if the grammar of translator is that horrible.

            BeriAH Exchange contact details, mostly discord or email contact them and share the details about how to exchange the chapters

              Hello! I'm open to being hired for editing as well! Though not necessarily paid anyways. :stuck_out_tongue: I applied for the editor position and am waiting for the results right now. In the meantime, I'd like to train myself in editing so feel free to hire me! English is my second language but I assure you of my capability in editing! (thanks for letting me ride this thread :smile: ). Edit: oh, and my discord is Soar :smiley: .

                Demonic_angel Oh! It should be Soar#0300 then. I'm not really well versed with Discord, so thanks for the tip!

                  Mission failed on my part. I forgot that Webnovel stopped letting you [ctrl + c, ctrl + v] things.

                  Can u send me the chapter through a google docs?

                  My email is emitravo@gmail.com

                    Thank you my friend. In the quest to clean up Webnovel...I know I can't do it alone.

                    I'd like more people to help authors because writing is a pretty hard thing to do. Some books get trashed on because of their grammar even with the idea being dope af. I feel like it'll be more beneficial to the world if we clean it up.

                    As long as you can improve the work...even if it's just by a little, then you should go for it.

                    You've already applied to be an editor which is pretty cool! I just wish more people could help out.

                    Uwaaaaahh! I feel so appreciated :smile: , even though I am practically riding on your thread XD.

                    Actually, recruitment is always open (I think) since the apply position button is always on the Inkstone dashboard. If you hover your mouse over the 'Assistants' button, the apply position button appears! If you click on it, you can apply for an editor or translator position. You'd have to fill in the form and go through a test (mine was to edit a chapter). Why don't you try it?

                    And yeah, it certainly is painful to watch great ideas being thrown away just because the presentation isn't good enough. I've read many interesting novels but the joy of reading them simply vanishes when I correct every grammatical error in my brain XD.

                    Anyways, LET'S MAKE 'MERIC--... I mean WEBNOVEL GREAT AGAIN.
                    :smile:

                      I too applied for the editor position and that was like 1month and a week ago. Still haven't received any reply :')
                      Wish me luck :3

                          Title: The Emperor who loves me dearly

                          Sypnosis: Four empires, hundreds of Kingdom.

                          Among these, is the Theavarian Empire and the Thusha Kingdom, the exact opposites. One lives lavishly while the other is almost eradicated in the map due to its failure to keep up with modernization.

                          Theavarian empire who doesn't believe in love and treats it as a disease while Thusha Kingdom who sees love as their salvation.

                          This happened in a parallel universe where modern-day emperors still exist, making the role of CEO like those of an ant.


                          Can love really surpass all?

                          "We are the two paths that should never have crossed"-Unknown

                          "Falling in love with you is my biggest mistake, risking it all is my choice"- Celestia Wresea

                          If fate will tear you down, again and again, will you still fight even though you know that in this lifetime, you two can't be together?

                          This story revolves around the story of the loveless empire, the Theavarian and the humble kingdom of Thusha.

                          Can destiny be bent towards their way? Or it will consume both of them.

                          "Love me once, love me twice, love me thrice, love me forever"

                            Also, if you're thinking of taking the editor test for Webnovel, please try helping some of these authors out. Think of it like practice for the big leagues.

                            A lot of people already sent me stories so editors who can edit, please share your email so that they can send it to you too.

                              Can you suggest if I re-edit my whole chapters or just new chapters? If I will stay from the beginning, then it will delay the release of my new chapters...
                              Help me please...

                                I tried contacting one of the author of a novel that I'm currently reading, but at the end she hired someone else. Well, it's her novel, her choice. 🤷
