Turnabout is fair play

I edit for a number of authors here, and do not ask for any notice in print, either on their stories, or elsewhere. I do it to help them with their stories, for as most will admit, And I certainly will on my own writings. The author is usually too close to the story. When looking it over, the author sees what they meant to write / thought they had written, instead of what actually went down on paper ( or in pixels on their screen). It is always helpful to have at least one extra set of eyes look at the story.

I do not ask for credit, because the author does the bulk of the work, I just look for grammar problems, missing words, wrong homophones, etc. It is their story after all.

I have, over the past 5 years, met well over a dozen of 'my' authors, and a few I have not edited for, in person

Now, what do I mean as turnabout?

Well, today I met, I think it is, my 18th author, Areceee, who lives nearby, only 50 miles from where I have been living for the past 60 years, drove down to help shalimar and myself move 40 miles north to where I am now working.

I just wanted to give credit where credit is due, for the way we in this community help each other when we can.
