I have a completed fantasy manuscript written for an adult audience and I’m ready for a thorough copyedit before querying agents. The story leans into an epic, adventurous tone, so I need someone who can protect that voice while tightening every sentence.

Your main focus areas:
• Grammar and punctuation – catch even the subtle slips that break immersion.
• Consistency of characters and plot – flag any contradictions in magic-system rules, timelines or character motivations.
• Flow and readability – smooth out clunky passages so the pacing feels effortless from prologue to final page.

I’ll supply the full Word document and would like the edit returned in two versions: one with Track Changes and comments, and a clean, accepted-changes file ready for a final proof. A brief style sheet noting key decisions (capitalisation, invented terms, character names, etc.) will help me keep everything consistent during revisions.

If you’re experienced with adult fantasy and comfortable working in Word, I’d love to see a short sample of previous copyediting work or, if you prefer, run a quick 1-page test so we can be sure our styles align before moving ahead.
