I am seeking a skilled editor for a fantasy book with dark themes and erotic content. The manuscript is around 175,000 words and is the first in a series. Ideally, the person chosen for this project will also work on the second book, which will be ready at the end of next month.
I do not want major edits. This project requires line editing or copy editing only. A sample from the middle of the manuscript is attached for reference.
Things to keep in mind when sending a proposal: This book is set between different kingdoms. It features multiple shifters, including wolves, dragons, and merfolk. It contains descriptive erotic scenes. AI must not be used to edit. Reliance on tools like Grammarly is not acceptable—I need a real editor. The extract provided is part of the story and is included to give an idea of the work required. The manuscript is written in first-person, present tense. It is currently divided into smaller chapters as it was released on a reading platform. The budget is open.
When messaging: State the time frame you expect it to take. Indicate if you have experience editing similar projects. Provide your exact cost. Do not ask for the budget—I want your price based on your work and experience.
