It may not be the best social tactic, but I usually just go for blunt honesty in this regard. "Your writing style is extremely dull. And your grammar is terrible." When I ask people to edit my writing, I WANT them to be brutal, because I honestly want to know what could use improvement. It would be more embarrassing to submit something with all sorts of errors than to have someone point them out to me beforehand. I also tend to warn anyone who asks me to edit for them that I WILL tear the thing apart, and if they can't handle constructive criticism they should ask someone else. It's always worked fine.

Ha ha, it would probably read better: "Your writing style is extremely dull, and your grammar is terrible."
