Does anyone know someone who does editing professionally? Or used to?
Or maybe you do yourself. I'm looking for someone to go through a document for me and fix it up, grammar, run on sentences, etc.
Not looking to pay really, but it's possible we could work something out. It's gaming related so that's why I'm asking here, as this is probably one of the more popular VN forums

Can't help you out since you're looking for free work. If you change your mind, I know that a standard rate for something of that nature would be 2-2.5 cents per word. That can also very depending on how heavy of an edit is required.

Editors don't work for free. If you need free, find a different line of work.

Yeah, I don't have it. And I don't think it's free. I'm sure I could find a torrent of it, but I usually avoid that type of thing when I can.
I used WordPad to write it, but was hoping I could find someone who knows what they are doing to go over it

How big is the document and what's its purpose?

It's about MMO's mostly.
Mainly what I and likely a lot of other players look for in one, and things developers keep leaving out.
There's also a section about innovation and other ides. How old ideas and mechanics are still viable, as well as new ones.
It got really long, so I haven't posted it anywhere. I'm hoping I can get it looked over and maybe even posted on a gaming news site or something where it may be read by more than just people on the forum(s) I post it on

There are two (at least) distinctions for "really long" when referring to such a thing. There's the widely held version of "really long" which means it's around 5 to 6 pages of standard paper worth of text long, then, for people who are familiar with me and my posting style, there's "really long, even for Cawlin" which is considerably more text (posters here should be able to confirm this distinction for you if you are unclear).
Estimate pages of 8.5 by 11 standard text for me please, single spaced.

Well, long for a forum, likely requiring multiple posts, depending on character limit.
If scrolling down and counting screen by screen(mostly 11 point text, 0-15 margins in WordPad) it's about 30 screens long. So that may be around 30 pages, or it could be much less if I moved it into something like Word.
