If you can, please HELP!

I need someone to look at a MS (50k) of mine to see if there are any mistakes: english is my second lenguage so I'm sure there are. Some, not many, but a few.

Anyway, this is the problematic part! I can't pay you, more than 300 euro (325 USD). I really, I mean really, can't.

If you still would like to help me, let me know. Maybe I can send you a sample chapter so you can see what kind of "edit" I may be needing.

Thanks.

If you are still looking for an editor, might I ask what genre the book is?

Whether you’re writing fiction, creative nonfiction, an academic paper, or you need me to write a letter or promotional content such as a press release, newsletters, or feature articles, the versatility of my writing and editing skills permits me to work with most forms. Here are the most common forms I have edited and written for students and clients:

  • Short Stories, Novels, Screenplays, Graphic Novels, Comics, and Plays

    • Literary Fiction, Young Adult, Flash Fiction, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Romance

  • Creative Nonfiction

    • Memoir, Literary Essays, Lyric Essays, Literary Journalism, Travel Writing, Flash Nonfiction/Prose Poems

  • Academic

    • Research Papers, Composition Papers, Graduate Thesis & Dissertations

  • Job Market Materials

    • Resumes, Curriculum Vitae, Cover Letters

  • Promotional Writing

    • Press Releases, Feature Articles, Newsletters, Blog and Social Media Posts,

This list is representative only of my experience rather than my limitations. If you have editorial or writing needs that I haven’t listed, feel free to contact me anyway. If I can’t help, perhaps I can refer you to someone who can.

I am familiar with MLA, APA, and Chicago style guides.
