Title:
Proofreader / Light Copy Editor for 92,000-Word Literary Thriller Novel
Description:
I’m looking for a skilled editor to complete a proofread + light copy-edit of my finished 92,000-word literary thriller titled The Killing Heart. The manuscript is polished and structurally sound — I’m not seeking major rewrites or developmental editing. I need a professional second pair of eyes to refine:
• grammar, punctuation, and consistency
• clarity and sentence flow
• basic pacing improvements
• readability
• KDP-clean formatting (optional but preferred)
The story blends atmospheric prose and emotional depth with fast-paced thriller elements. Set between Bangkok and the Alaskan wilderness, it follows two estranged brothers caught in a violent conspiracy involving a stolen crypto drive and a global crime syndicate.
What I’m Looking For:
• Experienced fiction editor (thriller, suspense, crime, or literary fiction preferred)
• Strong proofreading and light line-editing skills
• Respect for author voice — no heavy rewrites
• Ability to deliver clean, consistent, professional markup
• Willingness to provide a 5–10 page sample edit
Timeline: 2–4 weeks
Please include a short note about your experience with fiction and whether you can provide a sample edit.
