Character-Centric Mystery Manuscript Edit

I have a mystery/thriller manuscript just under 50,000 words that needs a fresh editorial eye dedicated to character work. The plot beats are locked, but I want every protagonist, antagonist, and supporting player to feel authentic, motivated, and emotionally resonant from first chapter to last reveal.

Here’s what I’m expecting from you:
• A tracked-changes version of the manuscript focusing on character voice, arc progression, interactions, and any places where motivation or backstory feels thin.
• A concise editorial memo (2–3 pages is fine) that outlines strengths, flags problem areas, and suggests concrete revisions to deepen reader connection.

Clean grammar notes are welcome if you spot them during the pass, yet the core brief is sharpening character development so the suspense lands harder.

If you have experience editing mystery or thriller fiction and can turn around thoughtful notes within two weeks, let’s collaborate.
