# Fantasy Novel Series – Professional Proofreader & Editor Needed I am seeking an experienced professional editor and proofreader to complete a comprehensive revision of my three-book fantasy series: The Essence Series. All three novels have been completed and previously published. However, I am looking to strengthen the overall quality of the series through another professional editorial review. This is not a first-draft editing project. The foundation, characters, world, and primary storylines are already established. Scope of Work The selected editor will review each novel with attention to: * Grammar, spelling, and punctuation * Sentence structure and readability * Active vs. passive voice, with an emphasis on strengthening active prose * Dialogue flow, realism, and character voice * Repetitive wording, phrases, descriptions, and emotional reactions * Awkward or unclear sentences * Storyline clarity and continuity * Scene pacing and transitions * Character consistency and development * Fantasy-world terminology and continuity * Unnecessary or overly extended descriptions * Opportunities to enhance scenes without changing the author's established voice * Overall flow and reader engagement Story & Dialogue Enhancement I am specifically looking for an editor who can go beyond correcting grammatical errors. The ideal editor should be able to identify dialogue that feels unnatural, repetitive, overly explanatory, or inconsistent with a character's personality and suggest stronger alternatives. I also welcome thoughtful recommendations for strengthening scenes, emotional impact, pacing, character interactions, and storyline clarity. However, I want to preserve my writing style, character personalities, and the established direction of the series, rather than have the novels rewritten into another author's/editor's voice. Project Structure This project includes three completed fantasy novels in an established series. The work will be divided into milestones of approximately six chapters at a time. Each six-chapter section will be reviewed, edited, and returned before proceeding to the next milestone. Because these books are part of the same series, continuity across all three novels is extremely important. Edits should be completed using Microsoft Word Track Changes, allowing me to clearly review suggested revisions, deletions, and additions. I would also like editorial comments/feedback when appropriate, particularly regarding: * Story or continuity concerns * Character inconsistencies * Confusing passages * Dialogue issues * Pacing concerns * Areas that may need expansion or reduction * Plot details that may need clarification Required Experience Applicants should have: * Professional fiction editing and/or proofreading experience * Excellent command of English * Expert-level grammar, spelling, and punctuation skills * Strong understanding of active and passive voice * Demonstrated experience editing dialogue * Experience with fantasy, romantasy, paranormal, or similar fiction preferred * Strong attention to continuity and detail * Experience using Microsoft Word Track Changes and Comments * Ability to provide constructive editorial feedback while respecting the author's voice * Ability to meet agreed-upon milestone deadlines When Applying Please include: 1. A brief description of your fiction editing experience. 2. Your experience editing **fantasy and/or romance-based fiction**. 3. Examples of previously edited fiction, if available. 4. Your preferred editing approach for a previously published novel undergoing revision. 5. Your availability and typical turnaround time for approximately six chapters. 6. Your proposed rate or pricing structure for the six chapter reivew. All the books are between 30,000 to 40,000 words. The goal is not to completely rewrite the Essence Series. The goal is to polish what is already there—strengthening the prose, dialogue, grammar, pacing, and overall reading experience while preserving the heart and voice of the original stories.
