I have a 22 000-word fiction manuscript that now needs a professional copy edit. The draft is clean on a sentence-level, yet I want a fresh set of eyes to tighten plot logic, sharpen character arcs, and smooth any rough narrative transitions without losing my voice. Your task is to deliver a fully marked-up version (Track Changes in Word or an equivalent) alongside a clean, ready-to-publish file. A short editorial note highlighting major narrative or pacing fixes you made will help me understand the rationale behind each change. Time is critical—please let me know the fastest realistic turnaround you can commit to while maintaining high quality. If you’re experienced in story structure, character motivation, and subtle tone management, I’d love to see a sample of your past work or perform a brief test edit on 300 words of my text. I aim for cost-effective collaboration and clear communication throughout the process; feel free to suggest milestone splits that make sense for both of us.
