Urban Fantasy Manuscript Developmental Edit
Budget: $25 – $50 USD
A paranormal-urban fantasy novel is growing chapter by chapter, and it needs a sharp developmental eye as it takes shape. I will pass new material in small packets—typically three to five chapters at a time—and I’m counting on thorough, page-by-page commentary that digs into two core areas: plot structure and character development.
The voice walks the line made popular by Ilona Andrews, Rob Thurman and Patricia Briggs, so familiarity with that rhythm, wit and pacing is essential. I’m not after broad generalities; I want scene-level notes that flag sagging tension, inconsistent motivations, pace stumbles, or anything else that might knock readers out of the story.
For each batch you’ll return:
• Inline or margin comments giving page-specific feedback
• A concise wrap-up that ties those notes into actionable next-steps for plot and character arcs
• Any stylistic suggestions that help maintain the Andrews/Thurman/Briggs feel without drifting into pastiche
Expect regular hand-offs and quick turnarounds so the momentum never stalls. If you love untangling supernatural intrigue and sculpting memorable heroes one page at a time, let’s keep this manuscript moving toward publication.
