Everyone and their mother has had what they thought was a great idea for a book, movie or tv show. A few of us have gone through with writing them. And, gotta say, writing original and groundbreaking works of fiction isn't something that really works out on your first try. In fact there's a good chance that as a writer you'll just end up writing copy for some mindless internet culture/entertainment site. Plus, bullying a random person into editing your work for free on the promise that they "get to witness literary history" is a pretty good indicator that your work sucks. But, hell, watch "The Vampiress of Crapshittia" become an ultra-bestseller next month. Then we can all buy some hats and go eat them.

    Font - Ummm I haven't made any money off the book yet its self published on that much but it shouldnt need much like I said I've been working on it for over 2 years and it's already pretty solid just needs grammar, spelling, that sort of thing so I can't pay 3:38 PM That's already a friend of a friend discount. A book that size could take me about 16 hours to edit, and that's if there aren't major issues. I'd be happy to look at the first few pages free though to 3:42 PM get a better estimate. W

    Font - I've never read that one, not really my thing. Again, thank you for the offer but I can't take the 4:05 PM time to do this for free right now. This sucks. said you were really nice and I thought you'd be happy to help out a struggling writer and maybe get famous in the process. 4:08 PM Guess you'll just have to wait til this book comes out and pay to read it like everybody else 4:11 PM Maybe l'll name one of ugliest meanest characters after you and you'll get famous anyway that way 4:14 P

    Font - KatJen76 +2 · 20h I think having the meanest, ugliest character named after you isn't as much of a threat as she thinks it is. I'd love to be able to tell the story of how JK Rowling named Dolores Umbridge after me when I refused to edit her book for free. That would be hilarious.

    Human body - e22ddie46 +2· 18h On that note, I probably read the early Harry Potter books at least 100 times growing up, I don't think I could ever name the editor.
