Finishing up my second, self-published novel. Should be around 65k words. I am looking for a developmental editor. My first novel can be found here: [login to view URL] It was well reviewed, but, I felt, had some weaknesses that more thorough editing would have caught. My goal is to write artful, character driven stories with strong plots that push people's buttons. I am looking for a developmental editor to edit both the story and plot structure as well as provide feedback to improve my craft and find holes or shortcomings in the stories. I will look for a proofreader in a separate request. This novel is the second in the series, and I would expect the first novel to be read before editing the second.

Hello! I would absolutely love to provide a developmental edit for you on your book, helping to strengthen both the story itself and your craft. I have an MFA in Creative Writing and Literature (with a focus on novel writing) so I have extensive experience providing constructive feedback to writers on elements such as plot, character development, pacing, dialogue, conflict/tension dynamics, etc. Please note that my bid takes into account the time it will take to read the first novel, as well as to provide comments throughout your second manuscript and a thorough overview/critique at the end. Please let me know if you have any questions for me at all! I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Jenna

Hello Brian, I'm very intrigued by your project description and would love to work on your project. I am drawn to stories with a strong character-driven element and as such I am eager to learn more about the novel you have written. As a novelist and editor, I admire the goals for your storytelling endeavors that you have articulated here. You say you are looking for a developmental editor for this story. I would begin by reading its prequel, which I estimate could easily be done in a day or so, to become familiar with your characters, narrative style, plot elements that carry over, and any other relevant details. I would focus first on the plot, character, and developmental aspects and perhaps, after discussing the changes with you, do a second pass through the manuscript in order to edit the writing craft. I believe that twenty days to do these two passes is ample time to complete the project while breaking the project down into simpler tasks and measurable goals. However, I am flexible if you would prefer to take another approach. If you are not interested at this time in my critiquing services, I hope that you will consider me as a proofreader when you are ready to enter into that stage of the process! I studied English so I have a love for grammar as well storytelling and literature. I'd be happy to assist you if any of the skills and services I offer are of interest to you. Congrats on the novel and good luck with your writing adventures! Best regards, Abigail

Our language needs some help! Join me on my mission to eradicate ghastly grammar, poor punctuation, and tragic tenses. The language you use when writing is judged. The saying is true: It is not WHAT you say but HOW you say it that matters. Let me formulate your thoughts in clear, concise words. I can write deliberately or deliciously; I will hone in on your intent and boil it down to the most common denominator so that it's so easily palpable, that your audience will know exactly what you want them to know. I can write and edit for business, higher education, creative or personal needs. You tell me what genre, tone, and style you want, and it'll be done! Let me edit your material before you publish it. I have prepared many Amazon eBooks, as well as academic works, including theses. I do the following and more: • Correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar • Check the logical flow of ideas • Ensure that message is clear • Research and check facts From formatting and preferences to punctuation and parentheticals, I rigorously strive to improve the works assigned to me with great care. Using my vast library of resources at my side, I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry. Focused on providing high-quality service and superb customer satisfaction,I am organized and punctual. You can expect the highest quality work from me. Working with you will be a pleasure. Thank you for your consideration. Kind regards, Shirley Ulbrich

Hi there. I'm not placing a very low bid, or promising to deliver overnight - it's a three-week job. But what you will get from me is genuine expertise. I have a PhD in English and worked a stint as a senior editor with Tafelberg publishers before taking up a lecturing position at the University of Stellenbosch. I looked at your writing and I wouldn't put in this bid if I weren't impressed. You write with a kind of urgency that is very compelling, but then the scaffolding becomes visible from time to time, which is distracting. You are spot-on in your assessment: you need a good editor. And I am a very, very good editor. If you don't take me, please follow my advice and look for someone who is charging a reasonable price. Communicate with them properly before you start - make sure they are actually proficient in English, and make sure they'll be doing the job themselves. Keep an eye on the site to make sure the person you've contracted doesn't post a job which is clearly yours, but at a cheaper rate. I've become very wary of this platform. Even if you decide to hire another editor, don't hesitate communicating with me. I like what you're doing and my advice is free.

Hi, I'm an editor with an international publishing house and have familiarity with both line editing as well as "one-final-look-to-see-all-is-in-place" editing. I'm responsible for a ton of books per year. I would like to propose a deadline of 20 days, with 3 milestones checks in between to allow you to scrutinize my work according to your requirements. Previously, on this platform, I've edited two books and rewritten another from scratch. Sadly, only one of those employers came back and gave me a review, the rest dispersed into thin air. If you wish to, please hit me up with a sample to edit, and I promise a quick turnaround for you to consider my bid. Thanks.

Dear Mr. Pacini, I have not read your book yet. But i would love to read through it well before starting work on the second book in the series. I have always loved reading. I read an average of 10-12 novels a month. My reading lists rarely have books from your genre. So it is safe to say that my approach to your draft will not be full of preconceived notions about the course the plot should undertake or the way the characters should speak. I believe that I can be of help to you. Kindly reach out to me to discuss the project further.

Hi I'm the guy who can do that for you. As a ghostwriter for books, screenplays and stage scripts, I know what works and how to engage readers. I've written for all genres, including biographies, fantasy, horror and even chick lit. Currently I have a screenplay in pre-production with filming due to start in a few weeks, a comedy about three soccer fans in London. The producers have already asked me to write the sequel. Next year I have two literary fiction novels being published, "Jorden Premi Bhagvan" a political thriller about an American rock superstar and "The Diary of a Middle Age English Oak Tree (volume 1)" a tongue in cheek look at English political history over the past 350 years. Please contact me, lets have a conversation and hopefully begin work. Very best Dawa
