Hello guys, I have taken up editing recently and will help out authors who have just begun their journey with writing. I have experience in writing and editing, mainly under fantasy, sci-fi, action and adventure genres. If anyone needs an editor, let me know. We can talk further about it on discord.

    Nou It's very good at explaining the types of editing!

        I would like an editor. I'm writing a fantasy called "Mages of the North" and about to finish my first volume. It's a rare mixture of magic being used during the 17-18th century, which means a pre-American Revolution sort of time period.

        If anyone's interested, let's talk.

          First, figure out what type of editing you need: Copy, line, mechanical, substantive, developmental, manuscript, etc. Hopefully, its not editing you need, but simple proofreading.

          Second, go over your own work. Look at things more from a substantive editing point of view. Especially chapter 1. If I have to power my way through chapter 1 to get to the good stuff, that story will likely be dropped. If your chapter 1 isn't that good, you may have to rewrite a lot of your beginning/early chapter to get a good starting chapter 1. And even if we ignore the rampant witch hunts in the 17th-ish century, promises of a "rare" combination of "magic" and "17th-18th century" isn't enough to get me to power through a horrible start. Make sure you're building suspense properly, and going straight into [an] action.

          Third, use a grammar/spell checker.

          If you think you did all that, feel free to ping me with your chapter 1, 2, and/or 3.

                          Alwan_ If I'm not wrong, Nou is an official editor contracted to webnovel.

                          Was. Was an official editor. Haven't edited any other works in a loong time.

                          qidian is his boss.

                          No, think of it like freelancing also: I'm also a freelancer and picked up a gig via Qidian--only, it's at their rate. So kind of like Uber/AirBnB.
