The Boom Effect is an auction to raise money for the trust fund for Tee Morris’s daughter, who bears the affectionate online pseudonym “Sonic Boom.” SB recently lost her mother, and the podcasting and writing community has come together to help Tee afford her final costs, and now to help to secure SB’s future.
Podcasters, writers, crafters, artists, musicians and more are offering their goods and services for an online auction on February 27th. You can subscribe to the blog’s RSS feed to stay in the loop, and follow @theboomeffect on Twitter.
For my part, I’m offering up Item SB008: Professionally Edited Short Story.
To the winning bidder, I will give a choice:
If you’re an aspiring writer of short fiction, you can get a free professional edit on one short story under 7,000 words. This will include proofreading and copyediting in the form of a red-lined and commented .doc file, and a consultation, if warranted, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript, with my professional recommendations.
For the long-form fiction writer, I’m offering another valuable service: The same full treatment, but for a query letter. I’ll use my other hat as Editor-in-Charge at Dragon Moon Press and my personal experience receiving queries and submissions, and work with you to structure and polish your query to give your manuscript the best possible chance, no matter where you choose to send it.
There are a lot of tempting one-of-a-kind items already up for bid, and more are still being added. Please give the auction a look and consider bidding and lending your support.
