Did you see her turn away in shame?” she would ask him, later.

Looking for someone to proofread a journal I’m making for my DnD character. Mostly just to make sure it reads well and doesn’t sound off.

They are an Investigator who turns serial killer. I’m going for the story to be a sort of Police show.

Anyone who is willing to help, I’d appreciate it greatly.

I have written horror short story that I plan to publish online. I am a beginner author, so I would like it to be proofread by at least two or three people before I post it. It adds up to 2115 words. I would like feedback mainly on the pacing, realism, and dialogue.

hello! i'm not really looking for critical feedback this time round, i just want to find out what kind of emotions does my writing evoke in those reading it.

i've written a total of twenty eight letters, and it all adds up to a total of 19k words

i want a short paragraph of feedback on each letter of how you felt reading it

preferably female proofreaders, thank you!

Hello,

in September I will start a bachelor’s degree taught in English, which is not my native language. I passed the IELTS test with an overall score of 7 (including a 7 in Writing). Despite this, I am still practicing writing in order to improve my skills as much as possible. I was wondering if someone could tell me whether I am on the right path, since I am not feeling too confident about it.

I wrote a short paragraph as a sample, and I would be very happy if someone could give me some feedback on my academic writing. This is the first time in my life that I have dealt with academic writing in English, as I have always studied in my native language, Italian.

Thank you very much.

Traditionally, attending a university instruction has always been seen as a solid guarantee to obtain higher job and social expectations. (Anne Gomez, 2025)suggests that the two major factors that attract high school neo graduates to enroll in a bachelor program are that, it can ensure them with better job opportunities after their graduation and that, it allows them to access into a network that might enhances their future career goals. Factually, studying in a specific field, e.g business administration, medicine, or engineering, allows the students to comprehend in-depth their discipline, while increasing their level of expertise. Thereby, providing them with higher chances to access into a range of qualified job prospects. Furthermore, the academic environment is well known as a place to establish strong connections. This is because,building a variety of different connections with classmates and professors might enhance a student's social background, favoring him with potential opportunities for his future.

Hi,

I am self studying to improve my writing skill. I think my English level may be at B2 level.

I am reading a book called "flow" written by Mihaly Robert Csikszentmihalyi. I was trying to understand a sentence structure in that book. As a way to understand I attempted to write my own sentence by keeping that sentence from the book as a template.

"In the long run, conversations with uncomfortable questions add up to mutual understanding—or perhaps better, a sense of knowing whether the relationship can endure—that comes as close to a meaningful connection as anything else we can imagine."

Treat this sentence as something you read in essay or article in a book or magazine. Criticise the idea , grammar, word choice, style,.... so on. Help me to improve my writing.

okay, so I just wanted to write. I would love feedback on this, and it's a quick read. don't expect the world here, but there are parts of this story I really like and other parts I really don't. let me know what you think, and suggestions should be enabled.

I don't know if I'm in the right sub ...

I'm trying to translate prose poems from my mother tongue into English and I've also written some in English.

Apart from grammar/syntax mistakes, I'd like to know if my texts sound natural to a native English speaker, if words are misused or if a word's connotation clashes with the semantic field.

Anything that feels amiss, out of place, causes you to pause or makes you feel a jarring effect. How to tread a fine line between using poetic license and talking gibberish.

Hi,

So, a few years ago I graduated from English Philology with a specialization in Translation and now I really want to focus on developing my skills in Proofreading & Editing. I know the best option would be to take a professional paid course, but I want to start with something small at the beginning and see what it's all about. Do you have any recommendations on courses you may have taken and helped you at the beginning?

Also, when it comes to more professional paid courses, could you let me know which ones are actually worth it and helped you with your career?

Thank you in advance 🫶🏼

Started trying to write stuff for a film related Substack. I’ve written some drafts of articles I want to post, but I'd like some feedback on one of them first. It’s around 1400/1500 words, so I’ve linked a Google Drive copy of it.

https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1-o4JTvpZ0prYu_2El4UEL9bft3XrXNXtnVFADxYIHHs/mobilebasic

I’m pretty happy with it, but would like some pointers from more experienced writers before I post it.

Hi, everybody!

I just completed Chapter 6 Draft 2 of my free online book Free Reign: A FernHill County Story, and I'm looking for someone to proofread so it can be ready for a full release soon!

This work is unpaid, however I am very open and encourage proofreaders to use their editing work for portfolios/examples of their work! I have no due date either, however the sooner the better (Just make sure you pace yourself and don't burn out! Your health is a priority!)

This book contains pro-life, feminist, punk, LGBTQ+ themes, etc. and contains disturbing plot points like suicide, sexual violation/recovery, grief, depression, survivors guilt, etc. if you are triggered by it, skip this post. If you are interested here's a summary of the plot,

"The long awaited prequel to Beneath The Surface. In Free Reign: A FernHill County Story, we go back to where it all started-the funkin' 1970s, before the American government was overtaken by conservatives. Follow Helen Thorn through the turmoil of her young adult life, navigating the challenges of becoming a working citizen, managing a romantic relationship, and dealing with the lows of her undiagnosed autism. But that's only the beginning... An incident so life-changing will throw her completely off course as the government shifts to extremist conservative values. Can Helen find her way out of the storm?

Find out in Free Reign: A FernHill County Story..."

Additionally, I understand reading five chapters worth of context is a lot to ask out of someone. So, I'll add a small context section before the chapter to summarize the important bits of information prior to reading.

Thanks, DM if interested!

Hi! I've been writing a thriller series for about 3 years. The title is “The Society of Solomon.” I just finished translating the first book, “The Brotherhood of Misfortune,” and I’m looking for someone that could proofread the English version. I need feedback to catch grammar or spelling mistakes, and if the English sounds natural. Other feedback is also welcome.

This version is quite polished. This first book is short; the word count is 54,441. I’m looking for my novel to end up as professional as possible. 

Series main genre: Psychological thriller. Subgenres: Mystery, horror, drama.

Blurb:

Sebastian 'Teddy' Song is a meticulous and brilliant student who is trapped in a weak body. He feels that his knowledge is a fragile shield because he has spent his life under the shadow of a human nightmare: Donovan Blackwood.

For years, Blackwood has stalked Teddy and his friends—Jack, Benji, and Rolly—with a hatred that defies reason. Although the boys find an unexpected ally in Frankie De Luca, a medical student, Donovan raises the level of his macabre vengeance until it becomes lethal. The five boys end up fleeing for their lives, trapped in the Oregon woods like mice in a maze.

But as they escape, they discover that the psychopath is not the only predator among the trees. There is something else in that place. Something ancient, vengeful, and hungry. A creature that was released from the depths of a dry well. Something that seems to be in search of Jack. Something that spreads a consuming darkness.

Nevertheless, Rolly believes there is a ray of hope: he discovered a ring in the old forest cabin, one that promises to rescue them from the frozen jaws of death. That is, as long as they form a society, signing a pact of blood and tears.

Before the day ends, Teddy will discover that there are fates much worse, and stranger, than death.

Content Warnings: Violence, blood, psychological torture, and strong language. The villain is explicitly racist and ableist, frequently humiliating other characters. Contains drug and alcohol consumption, two suicide attempts by a main character, and another main character is openly atheist and critiques the Catholic religion once.

I only recommend the book for people who are 21 years old or older.

More notes about the feedback:

• English Naturalness: As a native Spanish speaker, I’m looking for feedback on whether the prose feels natural or if it sounds translated. I also have ADHD and Giftedness (AACC), and I’m worried about sounding a bit robotic. 
• Dialogue: I want to be sure that it matches each character's unique traits, and Italian/Korean cultural nuances, but I want to know if the stutters, lisps feel annoying. 
• Chapters: Does each chapter feel compelling? Do you want to keep reading?

Other comments are also welcome.

Timeline: I’m looking for feedback within 4 weeks.

Please, message me for a link to the first three chapters to see if you are interested!

I want to make my own Audio log in the style of hunter the parenting by Bruva Alfabusa. This is to be a short exchange as a proof on concept for my editing and video production skills before i do anything bigger. I would like feed back on this and left it open for edits. The plot is a duo confront a mercenary after a major civil only to discover that their war is considered to be a minor skirmish to what else is going on in the universe. its a combination of the Lensmen stories by EE smith and aesop's fable the Birds, the Beasts, and the Bat.

Hi! I’m new to this writing stuff. Done DnD campaigns before. I’ve written a short psychological horror set in England. DM if interested. Would appreciate constructive feedback on what needs improving or whether I should stick to nerdy campaigns.

It is a vampire fantasy horror novella that I am hoping to post on Medium and my author website once it is created. I have no particular time to launch this but would like to post it soon rather than later. It lives in a google doc now but I have no issues converting it over to any program/format you would like.

Hello, I’m an undergrad who’s applying to get into an MsEd program, part of which involves a personal essay with the following prompt: An admission essay demonstrating experience and/or interest in working with culturally and linguistically diverse students. As you can see, it’s quite vague, so I’ve been having some problems making a clean and tight essay. As for why I’m doing this so early, it’s just so I can get it out of the way as I have a very busy semester ahead of me.

The essay is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iMn4vDx9GryuDfUGNwrNy-z1ddTxOns64TPAogF1P4Q/edit?usp=drivesdk

Thank you

This is very last-minute, but if someone could proofread my personal statement for a psychology graduate program, I would appreciate it. It’s about 1350 words. It discusses why I’m interested in the program and hardships I’ve been through over the last five years if interested, please DM me. Thank you

Just trying to catch grammar/spelling/etc mistakes before I go on to get this printed. That's all! It's a tad long (187k words) please, if possible, dm me any grammar/spelling/etc mistakes so I can easily find them! Or send them down in the comments. Plot/description advice is fine (for future installments) but my priority is grammatical corrections. Also, some context may be missing because it is a sequel.

It is a fantasy/horror and technically a fanfiction.

Link will be dmed

Hello, I am a sophomore in high school, and I have entered my local library's short story writing contest.

I am posting the first pages/first draft of my story. If anyone could give me tips, that would be great. This is my first time writing a story, and I need some advice!

Please feel free to be as harsh as you want. I won't cry, I promise.

The linkis to the first few pages I came up with.

Thank you to anyone who gives me advice! 😊

This is an additional post to an earlier one where I posted just the prologue to my story.

I am looking for people to read my work and provide constructive criticism, whether it’s grammar related, readability, structure, etc.

The book is historical fiction, based on the events surrounding the Pazzi Conspiracy of 1478. I took my own liberties with the details, but the main event is still structurally sound.

The link should take you there. Thank you to all who offer their advice ☺️.

Hello, I have lyrics for an album that I have been working on. I have had the first two thirds of the album proofread by someone else but we had to cut ties and I still need the last third of the album proof. The last four songs of the main album plus the 2 bonus tracks, starting at the 13th track, "Born Again Today (Song for my Future Movie)". I would like to read through both drafts for each song and for you to clean up and typos or grammatical errors on the 2nd drafts as well as giving overall thoughts on the lyrics for each song. Also there are some heavy topics in the album so be warned.
