Ladybird Editing
I am a professional line editor. I've worked on published books in a variety of genres as well as short stories, essays, flash fiction, and screenplays. If you're looking for an editor, send me an email (synopsis and approximate length) at ladybirdediting@gmail.com and I'll get you a quote.
Donations
I don't ever expect something for nothing. Any donation over five USD (or five single dollar donations, I'm not picky) entitles you to a page editing* (300-350 words, on stream).
Message me on Discord @BirdeeBee#2510 or send an email to ladybirdediting@gmail.com
*Editing may not be the same day as the donation. You'll get put in the queue.
Key
I use a color coding system in my edits to make the notes clearer.
Red - Subject
The subject is what the sentence is about and is often the one doing something.
Orange - Predicate
The predicate is the main action of the sentence and is often done by the subject.
Lime Green - Conjunction
Conjunctions are words (and, but, or, so, for, nor, yet) used to join two complete sentences.
Shades of Blue - Repetition
These are words that are often being used and often being abused. The individual shades mean nothing other than to give a visual distinction to any one chain of repetitious word use.
Something to Keep in Mind
This is a show and with it comes a bit of showmanship. Over the top, ridiculous statements will be made, but at the end of the day I want to be more helpful than anything.
I am just an editor. I will give advice and make comments because someone has asked for it. But, I do not expect every piece of advice to be taken; I do not expect my word to be law. This is a writer's story, and I leave it to their discretion as to what they want to do with their babies.
Channel Art
I've done most of the channel art myself, but I have to shout out a couple of people. If you see them in chat, show them some love.
