Developmental Edit For Fiction Novelette

Job ID: 40620138

Budget: $10 – $30 CAD

I’m wrapping up the draft of a fiction novelette and need a sharp developmental edit that pushes the story to its full potential. The manuscript sits at about 20k words (I’ll share the exact count with you once we start). What I’m after is a deep dive into structure, character motivation, pacing, and overall narrative flow—well beyond surface-level copy edits.

I’m open to creative suggestions. Standard tools like Microsoft Word’s Track Changes or Google Docs comments are fine—use whichever lets you work fastest and most precisely.

Acceptance criteria
• Complete manuscript returned with inline developmental comments.
• Editorial memo covering structure, pacing, character, theme, and any other crucial elements.

If this sounds like your kind of project, let’s talk timing and any questions you have about the story before we begin.
