Help improve our English

• You must have a native level of understanding of English.
• We write in British English.
• Please only fix errors, or unnatural phrasing. If it isn’t an error, leave it as it is.
• Do not introduce or remove ideas; do not simplify or embellish.
• Do not split or join sentences. Do not split or join paragraphs.
• Avoid loanwords unless it would be egregiously wrong to use a native word.
• Consider the level, and whether simpler or more precise language is more appropriate.

For most of our stories, the links above will take you to Google Docs. You can edit the text just like any document on your computer, or add comments. Your changes are saved automatically. We will see this and check your work before accepting it.

For some of our stories, the link will take you to GitHub. Click the Edit icon (it looks like a pen) at the top right of the text. You will need a free GitHub account first. When you’ve made your edits, click Commit.

We’re only human and we aren’t perfect – but we want to be. The only way to guarantee that our stories are 100% free from errors is if a lot of native speakers or experts read them.

If we accept your changes, we will add you to our list of Contributors or Reviewers. Currently, this list isn’t shown on the main website, but we may change this in the future. If this is important to you, please let us know. If you wish, you can state publicly that you contributed to Fabulang.

There is no payment available for contributing. Fabulang makes no money, so has no budget. But we will not forget our contributors. If there is ever a way we can reward you, we will do so. That’s why we keep a list of contributors, and ask that you leave an email address.
