Posted 3 days ago

Summary

My completed thriller has been beta-read, writing-group lauded, and had a couple of rounds of self-editing done. Needs a professional editor with an eye for plot weaknesses, pace slips, hackneyed tropes and God-help-us punctuation mea culpas AND IMPORTANTLY, the ability to rectify them. Its in Intermediate-level English (I am happy to take feedback on simplification, but the book needs someone who can review some heavy passages just so they can suggest how to simplify). Warning: Book is based on a serial-killer theme and touches on sexual and non-sexual violence, so if you are queasy, you might want to sit this one out. The snapshot Word-Count: ~80,000 Genre: Thriller (Serial Killer / FBI). Not a procedural. Expectation: Edit (Dev + Line), Get it Ready for publication Expected Deliverable: Editorial Analysis Letter + Annotated Manuscript I am hoping that I can create a series, so if you have some background with consistent character across multiple books, please do mention it. For this book, this is not needed, but should I develop future plots, I would love to do it in a collaborative manner. Please confirm you are human and that you have read everything by starting your response with the capital of England. Attaching sample. Please send a sample of your own editing if you think our styles match. Thanks!
