Here's what I require: - **Comprehensive Editing**: Improve the manuscript structurally, enhancing clarity, flow, and engagement. This involves addressing plot development, character depth, pacing, and consistency but without changing the storyline or the writers style too much. - **Word Count**: The manuscript is 50,000 words. - **Fiction Genre**: The story is woven with imaginative tales, requiring a keen eye for creative storytelling nuances. **Ideal Skills & Experience**: - Proven experience in fiction editing, with a portfolio demonstrating before-and-after samples of previously worked-on fiction manuscripts. - Strong grasp of English language nuances, able to enhance narrative voice without diluting original tone. - Ability to provide constructive feedback, guiding towards a more compelling story. - Knowledge in the fiction genre, appreciating genre-specific tropes and expectations. - Detail-oriented with a knack for spotting inconsistencies in plot and character development. - Proficient with editing software/tools, familiar with industry standard formats and guidelines for fiction manuscripts. Your contribution will be pivotal in transforming this manuscript into a story that captivates and resonates. If you have a passion for storytelling and can bring a wealth of editing expertise, I look forward to collaborating with you to polish this gem and make my young daughter's dream come true.

Hey, I am an experienced ghostwriter, novelist, and screenwriter in fiction and non-fiction with one goal in mind—helping you reach your publishing goal! I’ve worked on hundreds of fiction projects, and some of my works have gone on to become best sellers on Amazon. Although I’ll never take credit for them, I’m fine with simply knowing that somewhere in the world, someone is reading something I’ve written, and smiling or crying, depending on the context of the job. There is nothing as pleasing as being a fiction writer, ghostwriter or even be versatile enough to be a nonfiction writer to help you write the best eBook you will ever need. The art of piecing words together intrigues me every day because almost everyone wants to own a book because they have wonderful creative ideas, but the tricky thing is that not everyone can write. But that is fine, that is why you have me. WRITING, IS MY PASSION with over 10 years of experience. Please leave a message on my chat so we can discuss further and deadline of the project. Thanks.
