First Novel Comprehensive Edit
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I’ve finished drafting my debut novel and now need a comprehensive edit that sharpens style and structure. Beyond catching stray typos, I want every page to read smoothly, the voice to stay consistent from start to finish, and each paragraph to transition naturally into the next.
You’ll focus on:
• Maintaining a consistent tone and narrative voice
• Re-organising or tightening paragraphs where flow stalls
• Flagging any wording that feels awkward or repetitive
• Correcting grammar, spelling, and punctuation along the way
Deliverables:
1. Manuscript returned in Word with Track Changes on
2. A clean, final-ready version
3. A brief editorial letter (1-2 pages) summarising key stylistic issues and structural suggestions
If you’ve guided first-time novelists before, even better—please include before/after samples or a short note on similar projects. I’m excited to polish this story and would value your expertise and thoughtful commentary.
