Yeah. Now let me explain that subject line...
I'm a professional proofreader/editor. (I'm not allowed to advertise on Mythic Scribes, but that doesn't change the facts.) I also write fiction -- lots and lots of fiction. And in recent times, I've been blogging about my writing, and things related to writing, and sometimes just stuff that I feel like blogging about.
Here's the problem: I'm not what you'd call an active person when it comes to social media; it has the word social in it, after all. My blog has all of one follower, the person I refer to as Loyal Reader. (We've known each other for a while, and have been beta readers for each other's fiction.) I'd like to change that so I don't feel quite so much like I'm shouting into the void. I need feedback.
So here's the deal: I would very much like people to read and comment on my blog. I'm willing to proofread a short passage of fiction in trade for that. If someone were to start following my blog -- and by that I mean actually follow it and sometimes comment, not just click Follow and then never visit it again -- I would do more than just proofreading in exchange; I'd offer editing as well. Perhaps even for more than a single short work of fiction, depending.
(I should point out that I do know the difference between real comments and fluff. No cheating.)
