Editing, Ebook, and more...
Posted: Fri Aug 24, 2007 10:18 pm
I was wondering if you'd be interested in having the various books edited (talking about general copy-editing/proofreading, not style or other editing)? I'm asking because while reading the original Firestaff series I made a few corrections as I went along (call it professional "deformation"... I couldn't help myself). Although I stopped doing it in the Pyrosian chronicles (and Subjugation), I wouldn't mind reading them again and doing it. Either way, if you're interested, I'd have to re-read all the books and do a thorough job of it.
FYI: I'm offering this because I greatly enjoyed reading both series, and seeing as it's something you do without any profit, I'd be more than happy to help out any way I can. Oh, forgot to mention that I've worked as a magazine editor and newspaper journalist. Currently, however, I'm working part-time as an English teacher (a break of sorts after 2+ years of war journalism), and so have plenty of time to spare
On a different note, I was wondering if you'd be interested in making an ebook version of the books (e.g. *.lit format). Once again, if you are interested, I'd be willing to do so (or help in doing so).
Finally, as a last point, I just wanted to thank you for not only writing these thoroughly enjoyable books, but also for being so kind as to putting them online, freely available for anyone to read. I hope you keep on writing for a long time - I know I'll be eagerly checking by regularly to read anything new you've come up with.

The above is obviously directed to Fel... just in case it wasn't clear
