Summary

I am looking for a serious fiction editor with strong instincts for geopolitical thrillers, intelligence fiction, historical fiction, and literary pacing. This is not a basic proofreading job. I need someone who can work as a developmental editor, line editor, and light ghostwriting partner when needed to help sharpen flow, tension, chapter structure, dialogue, and narrative momentum.
