Reply to comment by 7ootles in Just me, or was IT really too long? by KnightOfPanda

The first 1/3rd of the book could be condensed down to a couple paragraphs and it wouldn't effect the story in any way, except to make it better. It's meandering and full of useless fluff and the language is over-the-top. It takes the more interesting parts of the story that occur later on and covers them in poo so they don't shine as well.

Why don't you do the edit and I'll tell you if it's any better? I'll wait.

Lol, you ask him his opinion and then come back with a childish response?

I can tell you if a meal tastes bad without being able to cook it and the same goes for a book. Don't ask people for their opinion if you're going to get butthurt over it.

I'll happily do that. My rate is $300ph, in advance.

You're not the person I commissioned.

Also, editors don't charge per hour. They usually charge per thousand words or per page.
