Fantasy Novel Developmental Edit
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have a full-length fantasy manuscript ready for a fresh set of expert eyes. I’m looking for a seasoned developmental editor who can dive deep into the story’s plot structure—examining pacing, tension arcs, twists, and overall coherence—so that every chapter drives the narrative forward and the ending lands with impact.
You’ll be working in Word (Track Changes) or an equivalent platform that lets me see every suggestion clearly. An understanding of genre conventions and reader expectations in fantasy is crucial, as I want the book to feel both original and satisfying.
Deliverables I expect:
• An annotated manuscript with inline comments focused on plot issues, scene placement, and flow.
• A concise editorial report (3-5 pages) outlining big-picture recommendations and next-step priorities.
If, while focusing on the plot, you spot quick wins in character arcs or world logic, feel free to flag them—though the primary brief remains the storyline itself.
Please include samples of previous fantasy edits or titles you’ve helped shape when you respond, along with an estimated turnaround time. I’m eager to refine this novel and would love to start as soon as we agree on a schedule.
