Editor status

Cherry21 Cherry21
I wanna edit other peoples' reviews. I feel that would much better suit me than writing my own. Not that I feel I write badly grammar, spelling, and editing wise, its just that I feel I edit much better. I lack creativity and thought process sometimes lol.Is there anyway to get to editor status faster?

From what I know, you need to hit 5.0 ranking before you can apply to be an editor. Then editors are chosen in waves- I think it's three months?

I'd also suggest taking a look at a grammar handbook, going from your post.

I believe it's 5.1 or higher, the page is phrased wrong. The editors are chosen in waves, but I'm not 100% sure on the time frame of the rotations at the moment. If you have more questions you can always message Sammi or send her an email at Sammi @ edenfantasys.com with further questions.

Thanks, but I wasn't really looking for a 'slight insult'. I use grammar just fine, but don't want to lose what I feel is my personal flare. I realize I use the word "wanna", but it is in a dictionary, it is in books, and it is spelled correctly.

Anyone who copy-edits needs a handbook to check for mistakes. Also, I made the suggestion after noticing over three errors on your post, not one. It's well-meant-- grab a grammar handbook, keep it on your desk, and if you're editing you'll have something easy to refer to.

I wouldn't be without mine.

Just a note - I applied to be an editor. I met all the requirements, and when I did the request thing, it said that it takes about 72 hours. So if this is not the case, that might need to be updated to eliminate further questions down the road.

We have a request in for the wording to be fixed, and we've mentioned that just about every time it comes up. So it should hopefully be fixed soon, but until then keep on being patient
