Yes, I see them from both of you. Thank you! I’m going to do both of yours on the long drive that I have tomorrow. (maybe some of it tonight.)
Is it too late to join? I enjoy editing and I have a pretty good workflow for spotting things others might miss.
I don’t think my story needs much editing, but I’m probably being overconfident and could still use some extra eyes. Chapter length averages 1.5 - 2K words, usually closer to 1.6K. Genre is comedy.
I dont think its too late to join. Let me get things more organized and figure out where everyone best fits. I’m going to try and design a theme for this thread and such, but will be out of town this weekend.
Hi sorry I need to back out of the exchange, my story isn’t ready and I need to start from scratch with it. Thank you.
I understand, though I thought your first chapter was really good, I’m excited to read more from you in the future! Best of luck.
I’d definitely be interested in editing! i don’t mind editing yours on google docs but if you could check mine on wattpad @sheyberrypie and then send a dm with the edits that’ll be more helpful to me, (because if theres a grammatical error you could just post it on a comment there and i can change it easily)
I’d like to come back after I rewrite. Thanks for having me in the meantime
Of course! Always welcome.
And @EKShortstories - Happy Monday! Are you guys ready for another round of editing/first round for Moonless-Nights?
Hey, I’ll trade a different story with you if you’d like. we can trade today as well.
Yesssss!!! I am
I’ll follow/DM you on Wattpad! What’s your email for Google Docs?
I’ll get my second chapter sent to you.
@All - I updated the main post. Let me know if I’ve got everything correct. Also what do you guys think about the theme I came up with. It’s supposed to be a play on words and editing haha. I had a whole reasoning for it in my head but If no one else likes it I can change it.
I like it!!!
Are we still waiting for others or do I start sending/receiving chapters now?
I’d prefer receiving chapters in my inbox on here, but if that doesn’t work for anyone I’ll share my email address. Just let me know how to proceed. I’m ready to go.
I like it, too. It’s very clever.
Editing is done over Google docs. So we either need to send editable links or share via emails. Emails are just easier in my opinion. mine is Vintaginity@gmail.com. We are good to start sharing our chapter. It just keeps it more organized and clean if everyone uses the same process.
We also need to know if you want us to send the first chapter to you as well so you can read it. No need to edit the first, unless you notice something missed previously. But the second chapter is what we need edited for this week. or we can just send the second chapters and not worry about the first.

Floaters: Please let me know if you’ve exchanged your chapters so I can keep things updated.
@copyedit
@rachelsfloetry
^^^ this should help clear it up. I’ll try to keep this list updated.
Thank you. I’m new to Google Docs but I think I get the basic idea and I’ve just shared my first chapter to you and @EKShortstories. Mine is mja.exe@gmail.com
Should I keep the permissions thing set to “Editor” or would “Commenter” work better for this purpose? And I’m not sure if it already shared or if I have to paste the link to you.
And yes, feel free to share your first two chapters and let me know what in particular you want help with, if not just grammar checks, etc. I’m in no particular hurry with mine, so take your time.
