Title’s long, but hopefully self-explanatory. I’m in search of a good editor who can attack my works with brutal honesty (make 'em bleed red ink, doncha know!). Anyone interested out there need only reply! =)
Inept in regards to sentence structure and punctuation usage--seeks wise editor!

if you just post your work on here we'll attack it like the hungry krauts that we all are.
"What the fuck was that?" - Mayor of Hiroshima
'Sounds shopliftingly good!' - some guy.
Ah, the Luftwaffe! - Homer Simpson
Well, see, I did post it on here a couple days ago in the writer's workshop, but no one's replied. =(

all the fun people hang in the short story section. maybe ill hop over and see what your piece is like.

I don't know how long your post was but if it was really long, that may have discouraged people of responding as well.
You could also try posting it in Critique and Advice - that's where I usually hang out (I'm not really a short story person)
Thanks, strangedaze. =)
I'll probably post it in another part of the forum after I've workshopped it thoroughly... the thing I like about the workshop is that the story gets deleted within thirty days... whereas in any other section my threads die a slow and painful death.
I've only three posts up so far... all pretty short. Hmmm.

Critique and Advice is the obvious choice. I give nice, indepth reviews to stories that stand out to me, and since you asked, I'll do it if it ever pops up in there
Try Strunk for a guide on sentence structure and punctuation usuage. If your problems are as fundamental as you say, then it would be a good idea for you to look at general principles rather than specific errors.

I'll try to look over your work and provide some comments though.
Off Topic:
Do the Xs in your name mean anything, or are they just decoration?
My latest work: Bags - The Hooker - Going Rogue - Flashing Out - The Problem with Being a Grifter
I always appreciate fair criticism, and will endeavor to reciprocate.
Thanks you guys! =) Hopefully I'll have it up in Critique and Advice soon... though I haven't been working on the story in a while. Gave it a little breather.
Thanks for the link--I'll definitely give it a shot.
And yeah, the x's in my name are just for decoration. I couldn't think up a new screen name when I joined so I used my IM screen name... that's like, three years old.
i do that kind of thing all day every day for writers all over the world... drop me an email if you want private hatchet job...
love and hugs, maia
