English is not your first language? Are you blogging but sometimes your readers find your posts somewhat confusing? Get your post cleaned up and get more subscribers and more return visits.

I used to be a professional editor. Now I do blogging and freelance editing.

I'll edit one of your blog posts for free! (Maximum 250 words.) Just give me the link to one of your posts, or send me a draft to an unpublished post, and I'll clean up your post's English grammar. I will not rewrite your post or rearrange your sentences. I'll just clean up the grammar but I'll keep your personality, style, and tone in your post.

      Your grammar is okay. It needed just a light touch although it was 500 words. But since you're the first, I'll let it go. Here's the edited version: www.scribd.com/doc/8746285/Why-Gas-Prices-Go-Up-and-Down.

      The post makes sense. But I wonder if there's even more to the fluctuation than just the four factors you mentioned.

    Oh, can you edit the hell out of posts for the brevity challenged? I may need you're help!
    1. Anok
      See, I knew someone would understand.
    2. buddhaofhollywood
      Would you do my gramar check if I do your brevity?
    3. Anok
      That sounds dirty

      I could try, but I'm not the best at editing grammar.
    4. buddhaofhollywood

      I do freelance writing depending on the topic. Your post needed some real work. Keep your sentences short, and it will be easier on the reader and more fast-moving. Here's the edited version: www.scribd.com/share/upload/5794581/2fp6e7dbe0osl9ozikdt.

    Do english grammar needing to be you checking?

    Charge why 250 more words?

    This was a joke. I'm happy with grammatical inneptitude.
    1. philpay
      Your blog is excellent! You don't need an editor. Just perhaps a proofreader to catch a very few missed words or letters.
    2. CrisRo
      Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. To be honest though, I don't think it's anything I can't catch. I just need to stop being so lazy and actually proof and spellcheck my work.

      I'm going to check your blog out now!

      Ujung yang sangat berguna. Saya sudah sebaiknya membaca pos anda sebelum mengubah tema. Tahan tetapi coba mempelajari tatabahasa Inggris sewaktu anda berlangsung. Saya membayangkan bahwa kebanyakan pukulan anda terdapat dari Amerika. Beberapa pembaca anda mungkin pergi ke tempat lain jika mereka memahami terlalu banyak kesalahan gramatikal. Salam!

      Hey.. correcting grammar is easy.. here's a part of corrected version of your post..
      Ideally, a gentleman look consists of short trimmed hair,a clean shave, nice suit and clean boots. Usually, to impress a women, men try different things to change their appearances but then a hesitation sets in. Questions like - what would others think about it? or how will my girl friend react to my looks? keep them away from trying something new. I would suggest experimenting with your looks and following these tips and who knows, you might get yourself a look that does wonders for you!
    2. philpay
      That's a real website with lots of articles! Excellent articles for everyone. Here's the edited version of your main article on the left column: www.scribd.com/share/upload/5962359/2hs6vxbrsb82djkxsyyl.

    There is more than 250 words, so you can do a couple of paragraphs that would be great

      Not much to edit especially since it's a creative work. Many of your sentences are poetic and can't be edited without breaking the rhythm. I just worked on some of the straight prose: www.scribd.com/share/upload/5975183/g5ypm4zb4047z0s2hmx . To break writer's block, just write.

    how do you measure up words???? counting them one by one????
    1. philpay
      Each word counts as one. My word processor counts the words.
