I’m getting the fourth instalment of my paranormal-suspense series ready for publication, and I’d like a full developmental edit of the 127,000-word manuscript. My priority is pacing—I want every chapter to hit the right beat and keep readers turning pages—so I need a seasoned editor who can assess structure, tension, and scene order while also flagging any plot or character issues that undermine momentum.

Here’s what I’m looking for:
• A tracked-changes copy of the manuscript with macro and scene-level comments.
• An editorial letter that explains big-picture observations and suggests actionable fixes, especially where the pace drags or spikes too abruptly.
• A short follow-up call or email round to clarify questions once I review your notes.

Please include a detailed project proposal outlining your approach, estimated timeline, and a brief description of similar paranormal or suspense projects you’ve shaped. An initial sample edit of two to three pages would be a plus and will help me gauge fit.

I’m eager to dive into revisions as soon as the right editor is on board and look forward to seeing how you can help this story race along without losing its eerie atmosphere.
