Hey y'all. I thought those of us who are still caught in the sling of term-papering could use this thread to request peer-editors and to bounce ideas off of one another. I turned in the attached short paper yesterday, but I figured it was probably pertinent to put up a little something to get the ball rolling.

The first attachment is my prompt. The second is my actual paper.

what an excellent idea. this being my first foray into this neck of the woods, i would be interested to try helping some folks, but there is naught as of yet

Sounds like a really good idea. I'm almost certainly a person who likes someone else to have a read through something I've written just to see if it makes sense outside of my own brain. For my history essays I usually get a friend of mine who doesn't know a lot about it. That way if my points make sense with the examples I've used for them to understand, then the chances are that the writing is clear and concise.

i wouldn't mind being a professional editor, since when i read i always find spelling/typing errors, though i'm sure everyone does, i think i could find more than are often found in published material.

Oh this forum was a good investment. I will actually have a few papers I'd like peer-editted. Mind you, its college material. But I'm hardly alone on that one.

A few things
1) Needs a thesis, or more easily found thesis
2) don't know if it was just formatting difference but there seems to be more than one space between words
3) Over page limit

I'm attaching a reverse copy of your work with highlights where I saw errors or where things could be improved. Over all this is a good essay. I need to read that book haha.

It is a great idea. I don't have anything on right now, but I'd love to read anything if anyone wants me to!

I'll need you to read something over in a bit.
