Hi, as mentioned in the title I’m an amateur, I’m still in college working on my degree and want to get some experience. I’m willing to work for free and on pretty much any genre other than Drama/Romance. I do however refuse to work on anything r-18

You could take a look at my story it’s only 5,000 words long right now, so it probably won’t take long.

I don't need one, but if you are asking for these stuff you should also show before-after examples of your line-edits. Points for clarity.
People might not take you seriously to begin with if you don't showcase your skills.
EDIT : I completely missed the 'I'll do it for free' part when I wrote this.

I have about 938,208 words published, but the vast majority of it is in "rough draft". I've been slowly going back and fixing stuff for a while now. Originally was just a hack ghostwriter and because most of my stuff was going to be rewritten anyway, I was always rather lax on the quality. If you want, check out my sig file. I'd want to start on HKN. If you are interested, I'll be more than happy to explain the details of what corrections I wanted to make in formatting and the overall level of detail to "fix" it. The plot is fine, it's the quality that needs improvement.
Two and a half years of publishing something every 3 days does improve your skills, so when I look back to my first chapters, I cringe.
Book one of HKN is about 286k. If you are interested, I'd be happy to have you listed as Editor. HKN is sex free, but heavy on gore/violence. The rest of my stories contain sex, but it isn't detailed. I find sex scenes boring, but often find it important to include in the plot, so the rest of the stories are R-rated. Definitely not the focus.
Anyrate, DM me if you are interested.
EDIT: Ya know what? If you do clean up HKN from stem to stern, and I can agree the rewrite is good, if you are so inclined as to want to publish it somewhere on a self-publishing platform you can point to it later and say, "See here on Scribble Hub? That's the original. Over here on this self-publishing platform is the finished product. See what I can do with schlock like this? Imagine what I can do for you." I'd be fine with that.
I have no intentions of self-publishing anything for profit, but I understand you want to do this professionally and want to build up your portfolio. So, if it'll help you out, you'd have to handle the paperwork, but that might be a good experience for you as well. 50/50 on any money you can squeeze out of it.

I have a fic on rr that I want to edit but I don't have the time to do so. It was my first book and as you can guess, my writing was terrible in it. I've uploaded about 35-40k words and I have the rest as draft. (So about 20-30k more) I can mention you in synopsis if you want.
Name is the path of Illusion, Lmk if you're interested.

Since you want experience, you can check my story. I can tell that you have more experience than me (although you said you're an amateur) so feel free to do so!
One of the main problems on my story is the redundancy and overenunciation. if you could help me fix that matter, then I am grateful, plus you can gain experience. How's that sound?
BTW it only had 80k+ words so I think it would suffice :)
