American Editor for 325-Page Novel

Job ID: 39929870

Budget: €250 – €750 EUR

I’m looking for a native US English editor to give my 325-page satiric fiction manuscript a professional polish. The draft is complete; what I need now is a careful line edit that sharpens grammar and punctuation while preserving the bite and humor of the narrative voice.

Here’s what I’d like from you:
• A full markup of the manuscript (Word track-changes preferred) showing every correction to grammar, punctuation, and word choice.
• Notes on style and tone whenever my phrasing undercuts clarity, comedic timing, or American idiom.
• A brief editorial letter (2–3 pages) summarizing recurring issues and suggesting next-step improvements.

I don’t require adherence to a formal style guide—natural, contemporary American usage is key. Experience editing long-form fiction, especially satire or humor, will stand out. If you’re ready to help this novel read like it was born and raised in the States, let’s talk.
