Topic: Editor/Writer from Vancouver, BC

Hi:

I am an writer, editor, and proofreader from Vancouver, BC, in Canada. I am a member of Editors Canada and do editing work for a variety of clients. You can find out more about me here:

While most of my published work is academic in nature, I have written a children's story and have some sample chapters and was wondering if I might get some helpful insights from more experienced authors on this site. I just joined your group today, so very new to things.

I look forward to meeting members of this group and sharing information related to writing. Feel free to contact me anytime.

Best,
Craig

I've learned enough here that I've just become an editor myself, Craig. Welcome!

Welcome. Here is a quote from a post my Marilyn Johnson that you may find useful: The one thing I would suggest is when you post your first chapter or story or poem, make sure to post it in a group that pays points to the reviewer, like the Premium group.  If you're not a member of it yet, may I suggest you join that one before you post.  You will get more reviewers if they get points for their review, which they will use to post their next piece.

Well, thank you, Norm!  I was surprised to see my name.  Nonetheless, new folks sometimes don't get the points idea.

Craig, will you be posting your children's book here on this site?  I look forward to reading it and maybe sharing ideas with you.

Welcome, CG, beyond the previous suggestions, I would add that you might want to put this (and possibly more) personal info in your profile as this thread will soon disappear into the back pages never to be seen again. Take care. Vern
