    Vic’s Editing Hub


    Welcome to my editing hub. Here, you can request edits for your work, both published to the site and unpublished. I have been working as an editor for the Mibba Magazine for quite some time, and have a lot of experience in editing work for the site. My strengths lie in spelling and grammar, as well as spotting continuity errors and helping with the overall flow of a story.

    My editing hub is currently OPEN and I am accepting editing requests for the following pieces:
    • Stories
    • Poems
    • Articles (please note: requests for edits on this type of work are up to comprehensive edit only)
    • Academic essays (please note: requests for edits on this type of work will be proofread only)

    Rules


    Please read the following rules before requesting anything from my editing hub.
    • I will work with two open requests at any time
    • Any requests made after the initial two will be placed into a queue and worked on as soon as I finish editing a piece
    • You can only request one edit at a time – once one is completed, you can request another
    • Chaptered stories are capped at a maximum of two chapters per request
    • Please credit me for any editing done – it doesn’t have to be big, just a link to my profile or this shop in the author’s note will do!
    • Please be patient with me – I work full-time and am also studying for a second degree, so depending on my workload I may be a little slow
    • If I have too much on my plate, I may temporarily close my hub – please don’t request if you see the hub is closed as I will not edit any pieces requested during this time
    • When I have completed your request, please strikeout your post (to do this: [s]CONTENT HERE[/s])

    Editing Process


    My editing process is fairly simple:
    • You request an edit using the form in the post below.
    • Once I receive your request, I will message you to confirm rough timescales. If the piece you are requesting an edit for is not on the site, I will ask you for a copy in this message.
    • I will complete an initial read-through at this stage, searching for any major errors or corrections I feel would benefit the story. Once this has ben completed, I will send you a message detailing anything I think should be changed. It is up to you at this stage if you wish to take these edits on board.
    • Once you have edited anything you wish to take on-board, let me know. I will then complete a second read-through for any smaller edits that I may have missed.
    • Again, let me know when you have edited anything you wish to take on board. If you would like me to do another read-through at this stage, I am more than happy to. You can also ask any questions or clarify any points I have made at this stage.
    • Once you are happy that any edits have been completed, strikeout your post and let me know that you’re happy with what we’ve discussed. At this point, I will remove your piece from active edits and mark it as completed.

    Types of Editing Available


    The types of editing I will provide are as follows:
    • Proofread: I will scan your piece for any spelling or grammar errors. The standard timescale for this is 48 hours.
    • Basic Edit: as well as scanning your piece for any spelling or grammar errors, I will check for any word choice or other simple changes. The standard timescale for this is 72 hours.
    • Comprehensive Edit: I will scan your piece for any spelling or grammar errors, as well as checking for any basic changes in line with the plot or narrative. I will look at word choice, and also at the imagery used and suggest edits based on these. This can take anywhere up to 5 days dependant on the length of the piece.
    • Full Edit: I will effectively act as a beta-reader for your piece. I will go through the piece line-by-line, scanning for any spelling or grammar errors. I will discuss in-depth your word choice, suggest changes to sentence structure and imagery where required and look at the flow of the piece as a whole. If it is a story, I will look at the plot and discuss any plot holes or grey areas with you. If it is a poem, I will look at the stanzas and how they flow together, and if the main underlying idea of the poem comes across effectively. Due to the in-depth nature of this edit, it can take up to 2 weeks dependent on the length of the piece.
    If you are looking for something not listed above, or want me to look out for something specific in your work, please use the ‘Anything Else’ section of the form to let me know!

    Anything Else:

    This is something short that I wrote for a contest. I'm a fairly new writer, I have written since a child but only in the last couple years have I really been trying with some things. It would mean lots to receive any constructive critisicm or thoughts on the piece. I am a writer in learning. So it's much appreciated!
