My first editing project

“Adam” on wattpad

 I wanted to start getting practice and  experience editing others’ works. I created a Wattpad* account and started messaging authors to see if I could work with them to edit their stories.

*Wattpad is an online source where amateur writers can share their books where others can read them.

My Goals:

• Edit fiction works – My ultimate career goal 
• Find a book with story structure problems as well as grammar issues
• Don’t rely on Grammarly – Find mistakes and correct them myself

The story I found:

“Adam” by Lara Ellatif

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.0.5″ type=”1_3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.5″ hover_enabled=”0″]

Biggest Problems:

• Commas
• Story was too confusing (people often stopped reading)
• Spelling
• Switching between past/present tense

Example Before Edits: 

I keep checking the mailbox everyday ever since I sent my application to this school, I really needed the scholarship because I had no money to pay for a normal high school, and this school isn’t just a normal highschool, it’s one of, if even not the best school around this town.

Example After Edits:

I’ve checked the mailbox every day since I sent in my application. I desperately need the scholarship because I don’t even have the money to pay for a normal high school. And William High isn’t just a normal high school: it’s the best school in town.
