Author Topic: Punctuation check?

I got a rejection letter today where the editor pointed out the errors of my punctuation. The wording came across as if it was very poor. Especially the use of commas. I've never been strong in English, but I've always felt that my punctuation has been acceptable. So I am looking for a sanity check.

I'm not looking for someone to do editing, just someone who can take a quick read and tell me if it is as bad as I am assuming that it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sure, I'll take a look. My credentials: copy editing for magazines.
