Edit & Format Thriller Manuscript

I have a 57,705-word political thriller sitting in Microsoft Word that now needs a professional polish before I press the self-publish button. My priority is solid copy editing—cleaning up grammar, syntax, word choice, and consistency—while preserving my voice and pacing. Alongside that, I’d like you to keep an eye on story continuity and each character’s arc so nothing slips through the cracks.

Once the text is final, I need interior formatting for both a paperback edition (think Amazon KDP) and a Kindle-ready EPUB. I don’t have a fixed style guide, so I’ll rely on your recommendations for trim size, fonts, chapter headings, and overall layout that will read well in both print and digital.

If things go smoothly, this should be the first of at least six books in the series, so I’m hoping to find someone interested in an ongoing collaboration. Should you have cost-effective publishing or distribution contacts, let’s discuss those possibilities too.

Deliverables I’m expecting:
• A tracked-changes Word file and a clean master file
• A brief editorial report covering continuity and character arcs
• A print-ready PDF for paperback
• A validated EPUB that meets Kindle requirements
• A concise style sheet summarizing formatting choices

Please include an estimated turnaround time and any relevant political-thriller or genre fiction samples when you reply. I’m eager to move quickly once I find the right fit.
