Editor for Short Novel

Cerrado Publicado hace 6 años Pagado a la entrega
Cerrado Pagado a la entrega

Hello! My name is McClain Lee, and I am (like many others) an aspiring novelist!

First of all, I apologize, I am so very new at this and don't have many resources to help me understand what my next step should be beside the internet!

I have just finished the manuscript for my first novel and am looking for someone with the right skills to help me edit and proofread so that my work can be as polished as can be. I am not looking to make a million dollars on this project, nor am I expecting it to be a breakthrough hit, but if I am going to publish it, I would like for it to be the best quality.

I understand that there are some competing notions of the difference between a proofreader and an editor, as well as what should be done first and I'm not sure where to begin, but I know that I definitely need someone who can read my work and make sure the tone, aesthetic, sentence structure and readability are all in order. But I also want to make sure I have the right person working on the piece. I want someone who really understands the goal and vision of the work that won't compromise its integrity.

The name of the novel is "Summer" and it is a neo-noir crime drama. Its major influences are authors such as James Sallis (Drive, Driven) Chuck Palahniuk (Lullaby, Fight Club) Thomas Pynchon (Inherent Vice) and more. I am looking for someone who is familiar with these authors (or similar ones) and their works.

A short blurb about the novel:

"A young man finds himself facing hard decisions when his younger brother is hospitalized following a terrible accident. 'Summer' is a tale of friendship, bonds of family, paranoia, and redemption. Set in a grim world of harsh realities and violence, one man will find out how far he's willing to go save those who mean the most to him. "

The book is short (purposefully so, thought could be expanded) at 41K words.

I would love to hear from someone who is familiar with the world of publishing and is willing to give my novel a shot! Thank you!
