I'm looking for an editor/ghost writer to help me improve my historical, Christian-friendly novel.(It's not a Christian book, per se, but it excludes cursing, sex, and my characters talk openly about religion) It's currently at 182,000 words, but I would love to cut it down. This is an "epic" novel set in the Second World War, with 5 intertwined characters. It is fiction, but based on true events. I need help making my characters more compelling and relatable, along with improving my sub-par dialogue, plot holes, etc. (I have four published books by a reputable publisher, so I'm not a horrible writer, but this is my first crack at fiction, so my MS is in a rough state right now.) The basic story is in place, but I'm looking for a knowledgeable developmental editor/partner who loves history and story telling who can make suggestions and help me move this MS along to the next step. Frankly, I could do this on my own, but I'm going this route because my son was recently diagnosed with cancer, and I am simply out of gas when it comes to my creativity. I'm not asking for your pity, but just providing some background. As much as I wish I could tackle this right now, I know my limits, and I'm on a bit of a time crunch, and need to have it ready for an editor by the end of January. So, would you be willing to look at my MS first, then make me a proposal of what you can do and how much you would need to charge? Let me know if you're interested. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello! With all the components you're weaving together, your novel sounds very intriguing! I am whole-heartedly in support of more fiction that openly discusses issues like religion. I would love to help you edit your novel so you can get it ready for your publisher. I've been a writer and editor for over eight years. I have studied the craft of writing and what makes for a compelling story, characters, and themes; I have written stories of my own, as well as assisted other writers in their journeys. Story, whether I'm creating or editing, is my passion. My other passion is history. I have degrees in English/Creative Writing as well as in History. In helping you edit your project, I will gladly engage in discussion and critiquing of the historical aspects of your story. In terms of the work, it sounds like you need a substantive edit. I will read your manuscript making detailed notes on what needs to improve regarding: characterization, arcs, plot holes, pacing, tension, setting and more; I'll also provide comments on the overall structure of the story. If you want to see my work, I'd love to do a sample edit for you! Send me 4-5 pages of your manuscript, and I'll return it to you within a few hours. A MS of this size for this type of edit should take me ~30 days to complete. I can start as early as next week, though if you have a different timing in mind I'd be happy to discuss it. I look forward to working with you! Happy writing, Abigail

Hi! I would love to take a look at the book! A former English professor, I have certainly edited my share of articles, chapters as well as book length texts. I believe the job of an editor is to give the writer a fresh set of eyes with which to view the work and perhaps offer perspectives not previously considered. You can actually check out my overall writing style and tone at my site: scribassist.com. My approach to writing is based upon taking chances as far as being ultra creative and ultimately making a significant impact on that reading moment in a person's life! You have to be smart about how you utilize words and sentences; screen/page space is a precious commodity not to be wasted. Holding a PhD in English, I know that I can help you to create a truly dynamic text. Best, Anne

FIRE! That word has a double connotation for me. First, I am always fired up about editing -- providing the most accurate, the most perfect wording to make any writer's project the best it can be. Second, my bid is really a fire-sale price, considering that I usually charge a lot more for a project the length of yours. With my keen eye for detail and passion for perfection, you won't get burned by contracting for my services. I've edited 12 books. All their authors were pleased with my work. Send me a sample to edit for FREE and let's get a symbiotic bonfire burning. -- David L. Gaskill

Hi, I understand you have written a fiction novel – CONGRATULATIONS! – and require an editor to edit and proofread it. I understand you are looking for an editor/ghost writer to help you improve your historical, Christian-friendly novel. Which is not a religious novel. I can provide you samples so that you can judge my writing. I have several successful fiction novels on the market, both as a ghostwriter and under my pen name. By using my services, you'll save valuable time, and you won't have to worry about grammar, formatting, etc. I will present to you a well-researched fiction work that is 100% your intended voice, flawless and grammatically correct. You can expect high-quality results; my fees are reasonable. Contact me now via text message so we can get started right away. I'm looking forward to it. Thank you, Marcia Lorraine

Hello. I´d like to take a look at your novel to evaluate what it needs and what I can do to help. I´m very knowledgable of WWII and that period - I just finished writing a biography for a Country and Western musician from that period, although in that case it barely touched on the war itself. Although I live in Brazil now, I´m an American writer, editor and proofreader, a native English speaker with excellent language skills and years of experience at producing, correcting and improving books, academic writing and other texts. I can use Word´s Track Changes to show you all my corrections, comments and suggestions. I´d prefer to make a fuller bid after looking at the manuscript, but my basic rate for work of this type is $10/1000 words. I can probably improve this price, but I´ll know more after a first read and evaluation. Please contact me with more details for further discussion. Best wishes, David

"Hello, My vast understanding of English helps me a lot. I am able to read upto three hundred words per minute, which is well above the average person, and I do this with a hundred percent comprehension of the material i read. This together with my skills can help me edit your document of a thousand words within twenty four hours and make it a mistake free article. I can also rewrite and proofread documents within the same amount of time as editing. One thing I can promise you is that I treat my clients work with the utmost respect and I can never steal nor copy your work and claim it to be my own,my mother brought me up well enough to know that I should treat others how I wish to be treated and stealing a clients work is not how I would wish to be treated. I will be able to also correct grammatical errors which appear anywhere in the article since this is in my vast skillset. I can also give detailed descriptions and expalanations of whatever that you request. Regards "

Hello, I am an experienced creative writer who has edited the paranormal romance novel “Find Me.” I worked with the author to refine and enhance her novel: checking plot, improving believability, cutting down passages for faster pace etc. This was her first book and I sometimes offered alternative phrasing and extra material to improve the story, which the author appreciated. I am good at writing dialogue; I have a playwriting and screenwriting background, so this could serve your purposes well. I have also studied story and character. As for knowledge of the Second World War, I studied this in History at high school, so am familiar with the subject and also find it interesting. I am a concise writer and I’m confident I can provide complementary material to your novel, however a brief test is of course a good idea. If you think you might be interested in working with me, I suggest sending through 5-10 pages as an initial sample. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions. Kind regards, Lisette

I recently co-authored, compiled and edited a 360 page book, so I believe reading, reviewing, discussing, and helping edit your book would be in my wheel house. Historical novels are also favorites of mine (I just finished a thought provoking book of change and metamorphosis which is set in World War II Nazi occupied France). I also live fairly far out in the high desert now, with no neighbors, no distractions, and my time is my own to spend as I wish. I can devote a lot of time to your project and give it the undivided attention to detail that it deserves. Thank you for your time no matter who you select for participation in your project.

Dear Author, I am writing my first book, and currently in the middle of my own character development. Personally, I've also faced times when circumstances have disrupted my creative energy. I would love to offer support by reading your MS, making some suggestions, and if it's inline with what you are looking for, moving forward with a proposal. Best regards, Jessica
