Fiction Novel Copy & Development Edit
Budget / Salary$30–250
TypeFreelance project
LocationRemote
Posted1 hour ago
My full-length fiction novel is ready for a two-step refinement. First I want a developmental review that pinpoints plot holes, pacing issues, character consistency, theme execution, and overall structure. Once those big-picture elements are solid, the same editor—or a seamless hand-off—should move straight into copy editing: tightening prose, correcting grammar, checking continuity, and ensuring style consistency while keeping my authorial voice intact.
Deliverables
• A concise editorial report outlining developmental feedback and proposed revisions
• The manuscript marked with tracked changes and margin notes for both developmental and copy edits
• A style sheet summarising decisions on spelling, punctuation, and unique terminology
I work in Word and prefer comments via Track Changes. Clean, deadline-driven communication is essential; please note your typical turnaround time for a novel-length manuscript and any relevant genre experience when you respond.
