Dark Fantasy Thriller Developmental Edit

My 108-k word dark-fantasy thriller is laid out, formatted, and “print ready,” yet I know the story itself still needs a fresh, professional eye before I give it to advance readers. I want an experienced developmental editor to dig beneath the polished surface and make sure every beat lands.

The priorities
• Plot clarity comes first—I need to be absolutely certain there are no gaps, logic jumps, or missing explanations that could pull readers out of the world.
• While you focus on structure and pacing, I also expect notes on character development, tonal consistency, and overall genre fit so the book meets reader expectations for both dark fantasy and thriller markets.

What I imagine receiving
– A detailed editorial letter that walks me through big-picture strengths and weaknesses, especially where the plot might lose cohesion.
– Either chapter-by-chapter notes or in-text comments (your call—tell me which method you prefer) highlighting specific scenes that need tightening, re-ordering, or deeper motivation.
– Clear, actionable recommendations I can implement in a single revision pass.

You’ll gain full manuscript access in .docx format along with a brief world-building glossary. I’m available for follow-up questions and a one-hour call once I’ve reviewed your edit.

If dark, atmospheric stories that mix suspense with high stakes are in your wheelhouse, let me know how you would approach this edit and an estimated timeline.
