Hello!
I’m seeking a skilled and experienced Developmental Editor to provide detailed feedback on my fiction manuscript. The story explores themes of interpersonal relationships, redemption, and resilience, with a focus on nuanced character development and tight, realistic pacing. My goal is to refine the narrative structure, enhance emotional depth, and ensure all plot points and character arcs are fully resolved.
The manuscript is approximately 63, 101 words and will be self-published on Amazon. I would appreciate input on plot flow, character development, and tone consistency while retaining my unique voice and storytelling style.
Expectations:
Provide a thorough manuscript review, including a detailed editorial letter and in-line comments.
Identify opportunities to enhance the story’s emotional impact and clarity.
Offer actionable suggestions to improve pacing, dialogue, and overall readability.
Maintain open communication throughout the editing process and meet agreed-upon deadlines.
What I’m Looking For in a Work Relationship:
I value a collaborative and constructive relationship with clear communication. Ideally, I’d like to work with someone who is passionate about fiction, understands nuanced storytelling, and has experience with self-published authors.
Unique Aspects of the Project:
This story is deeply personal, and I’ve worked hard to create realistic, flawed, and compelling characters. I plan to self-publish through Amazon and aim to reach readers who enjoy emotional, thought-provoking fiction.
Additional Information:
Genre: Not sure. Rom Com? But, probably not.
Project Budget: I’ve never used Upwork before. I believe your expertise is $50/hour. Is that correct?
Expected Timeline: I’m not sure. Is 3 weeks reasonable?
Thank you for considering this project! I look forward to collaborating with an editor who can help me take my manuscript to the next level.
