I’m looking for a skilled editor to help refine my Young adult Sci-Fi/Fantasy Novel. The story follows a young protagonist navigating hidden powers, multiple realms, and a larger destiny. The manuscript is currently in second draft, and I’m looking for assistance in copy editing, line editing, and possible developmental editing. What I need: Pacing Continuity and story clarity Narration & description 100% Human Editing No AI What to include in your proposal: Your rate (preferably fixed rate) Estimated turnaround time for 100k words

I'm an author with an 8-book Christian middle-grade series, The Brave Girls of the Bible Club (ages 8–12), and I'm looking for an editor for the whole series. The series at a glance: Five modern girls discover a magical trunk in their church basement that transports them into the stories of courageous women of the Bible. Each book teaches one real-world skill (courage, leadership, emotional honesty, resilience, identity, gifts, empathy) and ends with a parent–daughter discussion guide. The eight books feature Esther, Deborah, Hannah, Ruth, Mary Magdalene, Priscilla, Miriam, and an ensemble finale. Scope: 8 books, ~4,000–6,000 words each — roughly 38,000 words total Already fully drafted, formatted, and consistent in style (Word/.docx files) Each book: 7–8 chapters plus back matter (discussion guide, journal pages) These manuscripts are already written and in a fixed brand voice. I'm looking for editing and continuity checking, not rewriting. Specifically: Line/copy edit — grammar, clarity, flow, age-appropriate language for 8–12. Series continuity — consistency across all 8 books (character details, the trunk's "rules," recurring phrasing, the deepening faith arc). Scripture accuracy — confirming the biblical retellings and references are handled faithfully. I don't want the text rewritten or "elevated" into a different style, just polished and made consistent. Before I commit to all eight, would you be open to a paid sample edit of one chapter (~1,500 words)? That lets me see your editing style and confirm we're a good fit. If it goes well, I'd then want a bulk quote for the full series (~38,000 words) and your estimated turnaround. A few quick questions: Are you comfortable with middle-grade fiction (not just devotionals/picture books)? Do you work in Word with tracked changes so I can review every edit? What's your rate for the one-chapter sample, and roughly for the full series? The ideal candidate will have experience in Christian content and middle-grade books, ensuring the series is engaging and suitable for the target audience. This is a long-term project requiring a commitment to editing all 8 books.

I am looking for a freelancer to edit, proofread, and format an AI use guide in Microsoft Word.

We are positioning this manuscript as literary fiction, so we can strengthen the narrative in service of the story, but will continue to be authentic to the people, places, conversations, and events that inspired this story. Seeking an experienced developmental editor for a completed literary fiction blending reflective narrative, oral storytelling, family history, friendship, loss, and a strong sense of place, deeply rooted in Southern and Western culture. This manuscript is unpublished and confidential. Prior to receiving any manuscript materials, the selected editor will be required to execute a nondisclosure agreement. Following this, the selected editor will receive Chapters 1-4 (18K words) and a supporting style sheet for a paid developmental review. The developmental editor for the remaining 85,000-word manuscript (Phase 2) will be selected based upon evaluation of the editor fit from Phase 1 engagement. We are ready to move ahead on both phases. The manuscript intentionally preserves two distinct voices: the memoir narrator's reflective perspective and the oral-storytelling voice of its central subject. Preserving the integrity of both voices is essential. Feedback strongly suggests one of the manuscript's defining qualities is its rawness—the sense that observations, realizations, and emotional truths are being discovered rather than merely reported. Clarity should be improved where necessary, but not at the expense of personality, rhythm, authenticity, or narrative character. For example, the editor should query rather than revise instances of deliberate sentence fragments used for rhythm or emphasis. (Zero AI writing will be obvious.) We are seeking developmental feedback on: • Narrative flow and chapter progression • Pacing and reader engagement • Structural organization • Compression opportunities • Placement of anecdotes and supporting material • Thematic cohesion • Areas where additional context or connective tissue may strengthen the narrative = = = = = = = = = = = = To ensure a strong editorial fit, please provide: • Relevant memoir or narrative nonfiction experience • A brief description of your editorial approach • Typical deliverables (editorial letter, margin comments, etc.) • Availability and estimated turnaround time • Phase 1 pricing and Phase 2 remaining-manuscript pricing = = = = = = = = = = = = Required Deliverables 1. Editorial Letter (5–10 pages) addressing: • Audience identification and expectations • Market Positioning • Manuscript's strongest assets • Narrative’s greatest risks, narrative flow, pacing, friction • Compression opportunities • Placement and effectiveness of anecdotes • Voice and voice consistency • Distinction between narrator and Crocket • Reader engagement • Structural observations • Recommendations for the balance of the manuscript 2. Margin Comments / In-Line Notes (Not line editing) • Flow concerns, structural observations, repetition • Places needing context, areas where emotional impact is or is not landing • Questions 3. Strengths Assessment A short section answering what are the manuscript's most distinctive assets? 4. Editorial Approach A brief statement, if selected, what would be your primary developmental priorities for the remaining manuscript? Chapter-by-Chapter Notes, Optional For each chapter of what works, what doesn't, what needs attention Not required, but very useful.

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.
