Historical Fiction Editor Needed - Novel Set In China 90s.
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
I’m a first time writer looking for a skilled fiction editor to provide both a beta read and developmental/line editing on my novel (currently ~74,000 words - 80,000 word goal).
The story is inspired by real family experiences during China’s one-child policy. It is emotionally heavy, character-driven, and focused on tension, betrayal, and resilience. I need an editor who can help with:
Overall story flow, pacing, and structure
Voice consistency and emotional authenticity
Character arcs (including subtle motivations and reveals)
Line-level polish (clarity, rhythm, tone, dialogue)
General impressions (beta-reader style score/feedback)
This is NOT a light copyedit — I’m looking for thoughtful feedback from someone familiar with literary fiction, Asian settings, or real-world political/social tension.
Please include:
A short intro about your editing experience
A sample edit of the first 1–2 paragraphs I’ll provide
Your estimated timeline and cost
Whether you offer one pass or multiple feedback rounds
I’m happy to create milestones and pay fairly for quality work.
Thanks — I look forward to finding the right editor to help elevate the manuscript.
