Romance Book Editor WANTED for long term work
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
Hello! I'm excited to find the right person for my business, to help it continue to grow. What I need is an editor that can make sure my brand stays on point or an avid reader that feels they know what should have happened next. (Contemporary Romance, Instalove) I have highly detailed series bibles, outlines, and great gw's. A very specific niche, with high reader expectations. What this position is: Analizing manuscripts once the GW sends it in for holes and inconsistencies. Then making those changes once approved, full edits. Bonuses: Can you spot? weak motivations plot convenience sagging middle scenes that don't earn page time (tighten up word count) pacing dips missing emotional beats timeline confusion weak payoff setup subplot threads dropped stakes not escalating conflict resolved too easily contradictions in world rules Managing High/highs and Low/Lows Knowing the niche If making sure the big picture for a series comes together and fixing things when needed is your thing. I can't wait to hear from you! If you LOVE spreadsheets / docs / lore bibles. This is for you! If you read romance avidly and are always thinking, why did they do that? What about so-an-so? This is your gig! About the niche: Contemporary romance, short stories, built into a world. Instalove, alpha's, and morally gray scale sliding. Most of the hero's are anti hero. Most of the manuscripts are between 15-30k words. Please let me know: Would you be willing to give a test editing/analysis sample? Thank you! Kristina
