My autofiction manuscript is ready for its final polish and an honest, professional critique. I’m looking for an editor who can comb through the text line-by-line, fix every grammar, punctuation, and spelling slip, and then step back to evaluate the story as a whole.

Here’s what I’m after:
• A clean, fully proofread manuscript returned with Track Changes enabled so I can see every adjustment.
• Margin comments that flag inconsistencies, awkward phrasing, or sections where the voice slips.
• A brief editorial letter (one-to-two pages is fine) summarising strengths, areas that may confuse or slow the reader, and any big-picture observations on structure, character, or pacing.

The file is in Word, so you’ll need to work in that environment. I value clear, supportive notes that point out issues while explaining why the change helps the narrative flow.

If you’ve edited literary or autofiction projects before, I’d love to know—please share a short sample or reference. My plan is to review all marked-up changes, address your comments, and then move straight into querying, so accuracy and insight are both critical.

Let me know your turnaround time and how you like to handle revisions, and we can get started.
