Copyright is misspelled as copywright. This is not a British spellling, it's just an error.

which is a story YOU wrote, there is this line"
Quote:
There is a man sat, rocking back and forth
Unless Brits have a very odd way of communicating, the word "is" is unneccesary.

From the same story:
Quote:
She looks up and me through big blue eyes
Unless Brits use the words "at" and "and" interchangably, then that too is an error.

From another of YOUR stories:
Quote:
As I close in on the beast, it's growl gets shrill
In both the U.S. & the U.K. "it's" is a contraction for it is. You mean "its."

You do it again here:
Quote:
It's whimper becomes a terrified whine.
You also have a tendency to split a sentence into two separate sentences, where the second sentence is not complete. For example:
Quote:
Gripping it's mouth and neck.
I twist it's head around.
Actually, in that example the first one is incomplete, and you misspell its again.

I'm afraid you desperately DO need a proofreader. Most writers do- it's very hard to proofread your own work- you're too used to it.

Unfortunately, a site dedicated to writing that features so many errors lacks credibility. I wish you luck though.
