Adult Novel Editing & Proofreading
Budget: ₹3,500 – ₹5,000 INR
I have an adult-themed novel written in English that sits just under the 100 k-word mark, and it needs a thorough professional polish before I query agents. The manuscript already has a solid structure, but I want a sharp editorial eye to elevate it in three key areas:
• Grammar and punctuation — every misplaced comma or tense slip needs to disappear.
• Story consistency — spot timeline glitches, plot holes, and any lingering continuity errors.
• Character development — flag moments where motivations wobble or emotional beats feel thin so I can deepen them.
You’ll receive the full Word document and may work in Track Changes so I can review every edit. Alongside the marked-up file, I’d like a clean version and a concise editorial note (1–2 pages) summarising recurring issues and high-level feedback.
If you’re comfortable working with explicit content and have experience refining fiction in the 50 k–100 k range, I’d love to see samples of past edits or a short test pass on my opening pages. Precision, tact, and respect for the authorial voice are essential; the goal is a manuscript that reads smoothly, remains unmistakably mine, and stands ready for submission.
