Welcome to Gaia! ::

At our "survice"?

You need to get a little more experience with the stickies.



kthx.

I don't mean to insult you, but your father's career isn't YOUR career. And I would also like to point out that being a writer doesn't make you an editor, either. In fact, allow me...

ORIGINAL:
My father is an Editor and I always come and help him correct mistakes and errors. I also write my own stories and let him edit it and tell me what I did wrong and how to improve. I've been in 7 writers contests and either won 3rd or on some very lucky occasions, 1st. I haven't written a famous book yet, but I'm planning on it. (Yet, im still gangsta xd cool )

EDITED:
My father is an editor, and I always help him correct mistakes. I also write my own stories and let him edit them so that he can tell me what I did wrong or how I can improve. I've been in seven writing contests and have always placed third or, on occasion, first. I haven't written anything famous yet, but I'm planning on it. (Yet im still gangsta xd cool )

Anyway, becoming an editor is difficult work. You should know that, especially if your father is one. I would place your writing, as much as I've seen, at about an eleventh grade level.

If you don't have the qualifications, you shouldn't offer to be at our "survice". Yes, it's always nice to offer. As a rookie at best, however, it would behoove you to simply offer your editing services, not claim to be a real editor.

I hope this didn't turn out to be a lecture; I hate doing that. Anyway, good luck becoming a real editor!

That's good! It's great motivation. I'd recommend getting in touch with your school newspaper and watching the editor-in-chief work on an article. In most cases, that helps a lot.

Also, if you're interested, I run a once-defunct (but now active) writing, editing, and reviewing ring. I'm always looking for new members! Contact me if you're interested.
