Can anyone help me edit my story? The length of my story is 6 chapters, and about 55 pages. It’s story is about a girl who doesn't know her biological mother and lives with her biological father. She falls in love with a boy and secretly date him, without her father knowing for about 2 years. Then the father finds out that they have been dating after the girl became pregnant. The father gets mad and doesn't like his daughter's boyfriend. Later, they get along after the girl fakes her death. My AIM and yahoo screen names are realxdragonxfire.

Like I said before you decided to be pansyarsed and delete your question because people weren't kissing up to you enough or whatever...

Learn to self-edit your work or you will never be published. You cannot push the basic obligations of being a writer onto other people, especially hapless strangers because you are lazy or ignorant.

Find a book on proofreading and self-editing (library, bookstore, amazon) and learn another skill that WILL profit you in life, even if you some day stop writing. Learning should not be an anathema to someone serious about the craft!

This is not difficult. This is not painful. If you try it and for some bizarre reason find it so, then join a writers' group and get help and support that way.

Good freaking luck!

Most published books are edited by a firm. Before that they are edited by friends and family. I see nothing wrong with asking for help. The only fault I see on this page is a negative and jealous person trying to crush another's dreams. Grow up.
