900-Page Fantasy Copyedit
Budget: €750 – €1,500 EUR
I’ve just finished an A5, roughly 900-page science-rooted fantasy adventure and now need a sharp, good-humored editor to give it the final polish. Your primary mission is to hunt down every grammar and punctuation misfire while keeping the voice lively and the jokes intact. When something needs elaboration, tightening, or suddenly drifts into inexplicable British slang, drop an inline comment right where it happens—Track Changes in Word (or Google Docs suggestion mode) is perfect.
Because the tone leans casual and nerdy, I want edits that feel conversational rather than textbook. Flow, clarity, and internal consistency all matter, but grammar accuracy is the non-negotiable headline. Experience with long-form speculative fiction is a big plus; if you’ve wrangled sprawling universes before, you already know the drill.
Turnaround of three to four weeks would be ideal, though I’m open to what you think is realistic for a manuscript of this size. I’m flexible on pricing—let me know a structure that’s fair for both of us.
Deliverables:
• One fully marked-up Word/Google Docs document with all edits and inline comments
• A clean, accepted-changes version ready for my final read-through
If collaborating closely, laughing at the right nerd references, and polishing epic page counts sounds like your thing, let’s talk.
