I need some help

Hi!
I recently joined Constant-Content and wrote two articles. But both of them got rejected because they found some gramatical errors.
I know english pretty good, but because it's not my natal language, I can't possibly find those errors. I really need someone who can spot those errors for me.
I can't pay any money, I just need someone who can help a newbie, I don't want to give up Constant-Content. Thank you.

Authors who submit to Constant Content must be able to consistently submit error-free content and be familiar with all rules of the English language. This means that writers must be able to find their errors on their own and write in a way that sounds natural to an English speaker's ear. Your forum post contained many basic errors, which may indicate that you need more practice before attempting to write for CC.

If you still want to try your hand, tips for proofreading your own work can be found here:

Thanks,

If you can't pay money for an editor, get a friend whose English is better but offer them a "cut" if you sell it. You will have money if it sells. Perhaps part of that money needs to be set aside for your proofreader.
