I need an editor to read my novel and provide feedback related to the plot, character development, pacing, style, and general impressions. The story is currently around 55,000 words. I would like to build it up to around 70,000 - 80,000 words before seeking publication. The novel itself is in the fantasy genre, but features very little of the typical fantasy elements (no dragons, wizards, elves, etc.). It involves a group of friends embarking on a quest to find the gates to a fictional paradise, which are said to be located in an uncharted wilderness far outside their civilization. If you have an interest in adventure stories, religious themes, and the ancient world time period (greek/ roman civilization), you may find this book interesting. I would prefer someone who both enjoys this subject matter and has experience in developmental editing. I'm open to sending a chapter or two to see if you have interest in the story, and going from there. Thank you.

You just described me! I'm your editor, don't look further! I absolutely love Roman and Greek history and mythology; in fact I have an extended knowledge of both subjects. Fantasy literature (with less dragons the better) are a weak spot, as does RPG, my hobby for more than 20 years. I believe I can tell you about pace, character development, style and immersion. Please send me a sample of your work before accepting my bid, so I understand better what you expect from an editor. I'm available at: Vanjos dot contato at yahoo dot com dot br I'm actually working in two different developmental editing projects in Portuguese, one of them follows a "Harry Potter" style and aims the teen public, and other is a semi-biographical romance. Although it's not in English, my collaboration focuses primarily in plot, coherence, style and character development, which are universal concepts. Looking forward to hear from you, Vanessa

Hi, I am an experienced editor with ten years experience in the literary industry, as agent, manuscript reader, etc. Here's a sample from a review: There are plenty of positives in this fun, fast-paced, entertaining adventure. The story trades on a “vampyre” mythology that is familiar and endlessly popular to today's readers, set within a kung-fu milieu, a burgeoning genre that is only beginning to be tapped. Story cribs liberally from Star Wars, Blade, Twilight and a host of other notable efforts, but there is no reason to hide from such comparisons. The manuscript is sprinkled with humor that references the time period and the genre in a way that winks at the rereader – Lao-Tse and the genesis of the fortune cookie becomes a running joke that entertains throughout. The writing has attitude to spare, and a breezy impertinence that sacrifices historical verisimilitude in order to make the 13th century palatable to today's readers. The action is virtually non-stop, which is key to achieving the suspension of disbelief necessary to draw in the reader. The characters are genuine and relatable, and written to achieve broad appeal. In terms of further development, three fundamental issues come to mind immediately: Gio's character arc must be more defined. There should be a definite fear that, in his quest to avenge his father’s murder, Gio will give in to his baser instincts and embrace the Dark Shaolin and his surging vampyric powers. Currently, there are only four brief...

Greetings, I am a Canadian freelance writer, editor, and proofreader currently living in Thailand. Understandably, I read a lot, and fantasy and sci-fi are up there in my fiction favorites. I've read a lot of lesser known works but also some well-known series (Wheel of Time, Xanth [as a teen], etc.). To me, fantasy simply means that the writer has few, if any, limits on what he can create. After nearly 5 years as a freelancer and 5 more as a teacher, I'm more than used to checking through texts for errors. I've worked on editing projects for innumerable articles, business letters and publications, academic papers and theses, and full novel manuscripts. Please see my reviews and exam scores here on Freelancer as proof of my expertise and experience. I have also worked with some excellent editors fr my own writing, so I know just how important a good editor can be and how much their talent can help to draw the best out of the writer. I hope I can do the same for you! As a major part of editing, I like to stay in touch and carefully communicate with my clients in order to ensure that they get exactly the final product that they expect. If you have any questions or further infromation for me prior to making your hiring decision for this project, please dont hesitate to contact me via PM at any time and I'll look forward to hearing from you. Best Wishes, Dan

Hi, good afternoon. I'm an English/Portuguese/Spanish translator, proofreader and editor from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Portuguese is my first language and but have great command over the trio EN/PT/ES of languages and for a while now I've been working as a freelancer proofreader and editor, and doing a lot of translations too, which include nosense commercial material but also some fantasy stories from Terry Pratchett and some hardcore fiction by Stephen Baxter. I would very much like to help with your book and since you mentioned in the project description that you're open to sending a chapter or two of it, I would have to say, yes, please. Send it to me so I could no only have a feel about the story but so I can answer you back with some of my impressions and suggestions for you to evaluate my work as well. I'm also ok with discussing it and/or working on a single chapter (as a first step microproject) before the whole book, if you think it's a good way to start. Please feel free to message me at anytime regarding the project. I'm online most of the week. Hope to hear from you. And thank you for considering my bid.
