Khairuddin Ayubzai asked Ralph E. Vaughan:

Hey Ralph! I love to have a writing career as yours. Would you help me edit a very short story?? Thanks

Ralph E. Vaughan I'm sorry, but I must decline. The best person for what you want is a professional editor, not another writer. Though I have been employed as an editor in the past, both full-time and freelance, and was good at it, I did not enjoy it as much as I did writing. I write every day, several hours each day, and, so, have no time for anything else. Since you've published through KDP, you have access to the Community Forum. Many professional editors, formatters and publishers post there every day. If you ask under General Questions, I don't think you'll have any trouble finding someone willing and able to work with you. The only thing I can add is, make sure you get samples, credentials and testimonials before committing yourself to an editor. Not all editors are equal, or, often, as good as they think they are. Best of luck in your writing.
