Searching for a cheap editor

Hallo, I'm someone trying to publish a book called 'Chitso Samake, the Kiton's curse'. It's been influnced by much Anime, and it took me one month to complete the first batch '50,000'words. Many people have really enjoyed my book, but the big problem with it that I am having trouble finding an affordable editor or subsidy publisher, that accepts fantasy.

I mainly come here to ask, if anyone here could help in hopes of finding a cheap editor. (Please don't advise anyone who could help me, I've already been to everything that does that).

I'm also welcomed to send the three best chapters and syponsis, encase anyone is curios to what it is like.
 
I'm interested as well. BTW, I totally agree with what you say about BR on your profile.

You can find my email at my profile. Thanks!
 
Tried that, I contacted two popular publishing subsidy people and let one of them read it. The one that read it, said it was brilliant and the best submission they had ever had, when they were a company that lasted for 80yrs. It was very flattering the letter they sent me. It sounded like everything was going my way, but they both asked for so much money (Roughly £2,500s and that didn't include editing). Also, a head librarian told me it was just a scam and said all that stuff to lure me in.

So, so far I've been having to rely on book advisors, my Dad and any other help I can get to see this book gets published. The most important help I need is editing help for my really bad gramma. Thankyou for the comment though.

Well it would be nice of someone did, but does anyone here think they can edit a 75,000word novel with bad gramma.

We can always try :lol:

Im only at GCSE A at English though lol
 
WalrusM3 said:
Well alright, where do you wish for me to send it so that you may have a try at it?


Well, firstly how bad is the grammar. And I dunno if I can do it quickly cause ive got an english essay to do myself and art coursework. If you dont have like anyt date in mind then I dont mind looking I guess.

Why dont you try writting some short stories instead??
 
Well, it's kind of word choice and mainly the sentence structure. It has no date though.

I'm not interest in writing short stories really, I feel strongly and passionatly about writing novels. But I'm grateful for your suggestion.

I only say about short stories just to get you more used to writting. I mean, if there are some certain parts you feel arent that good, email them to me and il run some of what I'd change. The whole thing may be a tad large but, I can definatly help with grammar and sentance structure.

If you are having trouble, one of the things my english teacher used to say was at the beggining of each chapter make sure you set yourself targets like "Im going to use 1 metaphor, 1 similie and one use on Onamatopeia in this paragraph" etc. or "Im gonna use 'X' adjectives"

Hope that helps.
 
I guess your right, it's been quite some time since I wrote a simple short story.

However, it'll take me a while to give the whole thing (I lost my pen stick, so I'm requiring some help from some friends to send me the back-up they have).

However thankyou, and I am glad you are interested in helping and everyone else as well taking and interest and pitching into help me, it means a lot.
 
Sorry didn't read evangelion rocks' message. but here's half of chapter two the first fight scene. The fight scenes will most likely be the hardest to be honest.

Before Genevive could ask Chitso to repeat that, Chitso had already leapt forward, shooting towards his opponent like an arrow. His opponent leapt at Chitso in response, aiming his own fist back at Chitso. The ninja's punch connected with Chitso's chest but Chitso collapsed again into nothing but water. The ninja was surprised by Chitso's technique; actually seeing it opened a whole lot of answers. Chitso hurriedly rebuilt again back into his normal form a few steps away behind his opponent. He jumped high into the air with his arms folded and launching out his right foot. The ninja had heard the water reform, so he rotated around with his arms shielding his head. Chitso kicked right against him but the ninja's arms blocked the kick from reaching his face. Chitso began to spin in mid air and each time he faced the ninja he'd launch out a kick attack against the ninja's arms hoping to break his guard. But the ninja held his defense, and Chtiso only managed to push the ninja back slightly to no use. Before Chitso made the fourth kick, the ninja bent to the side, letting Chitso's kick slip past. The ninja then wrapped his arms around his leg tightly and began to spin Chitso around with
him, making him unable to do anything other then flop around spinning in the air. The ninja let go of his leg, launching Chitso away from him and flying back towards the other ninjas. The ninjas leapt out of the way to let Chitso pass, so he could fly towards the trees. But as Chitso almost smacked against it, he formed back to liquid, splashing against the tree like a bucket of water.

The lead ninja watched as the water remains of Chitso slowly merged into the river, making him invisible and making it hard to guess where Chitso would reform back out from. The lead ninja placed up his guard up, unsure where Chitso would pop up this time. The lead ninja kept his senses opened until his keen ears heard something peculiar but familiar and immediately turned to face Chitso. But instead a bubble of water splashed against his face, hurting his eyes. The ninja cover his face, his eyes being stung by the unnatural-created water, and he was quickly met with a deep blow to the stomach. He bent down to feel something wrapping around his head, as if a snake was curling around him, and was next lifted in to the air and thrown back down with his back slammed against the unpleasantly smooth rocks, leaving the ninja in a lot of back pain. He was still focused enough, though, to hear the foot being lifted off the stones and cutting through the air ready to stomp him. The ninja rolled aside, letting the stomp crunch down into the stone pebbles. The ninja pulled out a sphere orb from his belt, having the opportunity to finally use it, and threw it up at where his target was.

Chitso Samake knew he didn't put in enough effort to that last attack knowing it would leave him to vulnerable, but either way he felt the orb’s rubbery skin smash against his own flesh and explode into smoke all over Chitso. He struggled to rub the smoke that hit against his eyes before he could close it and he also struggled to cough out the dust that managed to enter his throat. When he managed to rub the smoke out of his eyes and see better, a figure grabbed him by the tunic over his chest and punched Chitso in the mouth, forcing his head to jerk back. The figure tried to knee Chitso in the stomach, but Chitso predicted his next move, bring up his own knee countering the blow, and as Chitso felt their knees knock together he quickly made a desperate move to force the opponent's leg to slip. Chitso swung his own leg free across the ground until his ankle knocking against his opponent, forcing him to let go of his balance. His hand grip on Chitso was released, but Chitso's balance had slipped, with his feet sliding against the slippery pebbles. Chitso crashed back down again, hitting against the floor of pebbles with a duff.

Chitso still struggled with the smoke around him, choking as it slipped into his mouth. He struggled to see his view and saw his opponent also getting up through the smoke, but it was too difficult to be clear. Chitso formed into his water form and sprung upwards, javelining up through the smoke. As Chitso jumped out of the smoke and reformed back into his solid shape, he was slowly hanging in the air above the fog of smoke. Chitso then clapped his wrists together above his head with his hands cupped open and with simple ease to create a jelly-orb-bubble made of water hovering on his hands. The lead Ninja burst out from the smoke to approach Chitso upwards in the sky, like an angry eagle to catch his prey. Chitso saw his opponent come up at him and quickly reacted by pulling his hands holding the water orb aimed directly at the lead Ninja. He fired out the created water down at him. The lead Ninja saw the obvious move, thinking that Chitso thought he could not dodge. Well he was wrong. The lead Ninja pulled himself in reverse still in mid air letting the bubble fly pass down. The lead Ninja next pulled out a shuriken and tossed it at Chitso letting it fly spinning up through the air until it hit against Chitso’s shoulder. Blood sliped out and Chitso fell off his control from the air, falling back down. The lead Ninja sneered at Chitso, looking at the fool drop back down to the surface, thinking that he wouldn't be able to dodge that water orb and return a vulnerable counter. The lead Ninja’s smirk was wiped off as his eyes fired open, realizing as he finally found out what the bubble attack's real target was. The bubble punched through the smoke barrier inside the centre of the dome. The lead Ninja could only watch as his smoke cloud was exploded by an eruption of water separating it from the inside causing it to disappear from the boom of water.

Chitso fumbled back down to the ground, while the lead Ninja soared gently back down onto both feet. The lead Ninja kept his arms folded and stood straight, watching as Chitso struggled back up to his own both feet. He may have cleared away all the smoke, but at the cost of his shoulder. Chitso held his hand over the wound where the shuriken hit with blood streaming out of it, down his clothes and into the water. But Chitso continued to smile even though he was losing a lot of blood. The other ninjas just watched un-impressed, seeing as Chitso's arm also seemed out of use as it dangled like hanging meat. Genevive had her mouth hanging open as she was amazed at the spectacular battle. She may of seen many more powerful warriors who fought amongst each other, but never so evenly. The battles fought were normally one sided.

hey Walrus, I've got the text. Will take a look. UNfortunately, my grammar is broke, so I can't help you much. But I can tell you what I like / dislike. And good luck finding a publisher.
