You Need an Editor

Postby lookaround » January 27th, 2013, 7:07 am

I like your comics, but I felt I needed to say something. Your art is very good, but you are in desperate need of an editor. I'm guessing English isn't your first language. There are a large number of grammar mistakes in each comic. Some pages have three or four mistakes alone. For example on page N1_16 in the comic Mindloss there are some issues. In the second panel you have "But I know his family since long time ago" when it should be "But I have known his family since a long time ago." In the third panel you have "He's very much than he pretends to be" when it should be "He's much more than he pretends to be." In the fourth panel you have "the Nazi regime felt" instead of "the Nazi regime fell," and "As a member of Eclipse's inner circle he possess a vast and unholy knowledge, he's a valuable alley but a powerful enemy too" when it should be "As a member of Eclipse's inner circle he possesses a vast and unholy knowledge. He's a valuable alley, but a powerful enemy too."

There are quite a few more mistakes throughout the comic. On top of that you have a number of sentences that that while technically correct are vague or just sound strange in English. I'm not trying to be overly critical, but you need someone to copy edit these things. It's pretty hard to read as is.

Hello

First of all, my apologizes for those important errors. I normally ispect the text once the work it's done but this time... I didn't it and there are some serious grammatical errors that I usually don't make such mistakes, like on verb diction or conjugation. The expression are a different matter, I admit that I've more problems with that.

I'll look the entire chapter over again and I'll correct the mistake and I'll upload a "edited" version. I promise.

But the heart of the matter is that a editor's fee is too expensive for my wage here, they charge money by word so if I pay his services... I would be losing money. I've worked in another sites and I still do, but only in one of them I had my text corrected by someone of the staff and on HIPcomix a member who is not jet subscribed (Bill Denholm) helped me with this matter.

That's the reason because I prefer to work with writters and focus myself on the artistic side.

Don't be afraid for your comments, any suggestion is good... also the criticism.

I'll try to do better in the future

Thanks
Mitru

I've uploaded a corrected version of the chapter.

The mistakes I've detected have been corrected and a pokethrough inside one of the comic frames.

Thanks again

Hello!

As I received some suggestion about I needed a editor for my comics, I asked for help with that and thanks to Macrolass' help I'm able to offer to you a edited and revised version of the published chapter of Blunder Woman's "Mindloss"

You've Multipaneled High Resolution version of the comic here: http://www.mccomix.com/members/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=68556
