If you get desperate and can't find anyone else I can probably give it a look over. I'm not the best out there, but I can usually catch grammar and the like.

thanks! If I'll not hear anything from the people I asked (untill now, I didn't) I'll make sure to let you know- and anyway, more than anything, I just need an hand in a couple of points, as I'm still unsure of sentences structure, despite the many years spent studying, reading and writing in English...
Just in case, is there any format you'd prefer? Office, doc, docx....

You speak better English than I do Italian, I don't know how you do it. I prefer Office, I can pm you my email if you need it again. Sentence structure I can do :)

ah! Trust me, my English is decent only because everything I write, I proof-read it at least twice (even if the majority of my mistakes are keyboard-related...). And if I'd tell you that I started to seriously learn to read, speak and write in English because back them DC Comics wasn't published in Italy... yeah, I can be totally un-serious when I want to. Then, I moved from "oh, I want to read those comics from award winner writers!" to "ouch. this serie doesn't air in Italy yet" and I finally moved to "it's a total waste of time and energy, looking at the Italian version of this show. Translation is horrible!" which is now the stage I currently am. The only show I still watch ALSO in Italian is the mentalist- and even that, I do it while reading the original script and shivering and crying because some translations are just... ugh.
anyway... back to topic... yep. I still have your mail, thanks a lot kathy- and btw, I am the first one to know that I have troubles with structure. In fact, when I know I may be doing a mistake, I even enlight it for my beta :)
