Fiction Editing & Proofreading: 17,000 Words

I'm seeking a talented editor and proofreader for my short stories. The stories are 17,000 words in total, spread over 40 pages. The ideal candidate will be a native English speaker with a proven track record of editing and proofreading, especially for fiction. This project requires:

- Comprehensive Editing: I need an editor to work on the structure, style, clarity, and content of the stories. This will involve not just grammatical fixes, but also suggestions on how to improve the overall reading experience.
- Chicago Manual of Style: It's essential that the editor is familiar with and adheres to the Chicago Manual of Style.
- Native English speaker, as there are a lot of colloqualisms, as well as English and Americvan idioms. Sophisticated composition. Complex grammar, Difficult vocabulary


The deadline for this project is within a week from now. So, I need someone who can commit to this timeline and deliver high-quality work.
