I have a 64k word (260 page) novel in the New Adult/Contemporary Romance genre that needs content editing, i.e. plotting, pacing, tone, voice, character development, setting, incidents of plot holes and conveniences, and “telling” instead of “showing.” I started editing and reached chapter 6 and felt "something" was missing. I need you to tell me what that something is...or maybe somethings, in addition to checking the aforementioned items (plotting, pacing, etc.) Prefer someone who has experience editing similar material, like YA or adult contemporary romance.
Thanks for looking!

Greetings! This project is just up my alley, as I am a writer who has just completed editing, replotting, recreating and proofreading my own book 'The Ghost Inside You'. I would love to work on this project right away. Cheers!
I'm a professional editor and proofreader with over six years of experience working with film companies and small publishing companies in Canada. My career has spanned everything from marketing materials to academic articles.
Look at my English scores & you'd know I could do this task. Besides, I'm a huge fan of all forma of fiction writing & read at at least one novel a week! Looking forward to your earnest response!
Having worked as a journalist, sub-editor and content editor on a daily newspaper for the past 10 years, I feel that I have all the necessary experience and expertise to do this project justice. I am an avid reader with a wide range of interests.
Hi,
I hold an MA in English Literature, and I'm currently working on my PhD. I have several years of proofreading experience and can provide a quick and efficient service. My years as a lecturer and educator should also be an asset, as I've spent most of my time teaching students how to write. This will help me make the type of suggestions you are looking for. Most recently I edited an erotic novel (I can provide a reference if needed), and I believe that I have the skills to really understand how characters and plot arcs work. I'd love to to help you with your novel and steer in the right direction in terms of the "telling" vs "showing" problem - after all, working with fiction is my entire career. I'm happy to chat and really get to the core of what you as a client need for your novel to be truly exceptional.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Rowan.
Reading a novel is like a bonus for me. I think we can negotiate for a lower bid... Let me know. I would love to read your novel and add some spicy touch to it.
I am a novel and short story writer. I have recently completed and edited a novel of around the same length. I also have a back up editor who is used to editing legal documents, who crosses every T and dots every I. Such a project would take me 30 days to complete
