Grammar errors?

Post by PatrickM »

Where in my article does it have grammar errors? I don't see them period. Can someone please look over my article and let me know if they see any grammar errors? I would like to learn from my mistakes, even though I'm now suspended from this site :?

Hey Patrick, if you send your article to me I will point out any grammar errors I spot. Just go to my author page and click on "Contact this author" and paste the text into the email.

I appreciate the response and your willingness to help out. I tried to do as you asked and I get the message that I must login. My account has been suspended from constant-content, so I cannot do it that way. Would it be all right if I sent it to you in a PM here in the forums? *nevermind, it's not possible for me to send private messages on the forums. Sorry for bothering you, I do appreciate the attempt at help but it seems there is not much I can do to get this article looked over. Thanks again and good luck!

Hi Antonia,

How are you? Will you be able to help me? I have an entry level article written for constatnt content but am pretty unsure whether they will accept it or not. Can I paste the text in your email so that you may review the grammer errors in it?

Really waiting,
Manisha

I am kind of loss here as well. While it's understandable that the writers should find their own errors, how can we determine the errors we are making unless they are specified in the rejection information feedback. Several of my articles have been rejected lately which was not the case when I first joined. It's just kind of frustrating because if you don't know what mistakes you may be making, how can you go about correcting them. Also, if you keep making the same errors the account will be suspended. Any guidance/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Manisha,

Sure, go ahead and email me your article. It may take me a few days to get to it as I'm traveling through India at the moment, but I'll look at it as soon as possible.

That's why a lot of people think I am a robot. In all seriousness, it does bear repeating. CC is a place where authors should already have their writing tools honed. While it is very generous for our authors to offer to look over someone's work, proofreading and editing is not easy, and in the real world, it isn't cheap either. At the very least, it's time consuming - and time is precious for freelance writers who need to make their time count towards their income.

Thanks,
Ed
