Hey there! What specific aspects of the plot or character development do you feel require the most attention or improvement? Are there any particular scenes or chapters that you're unsure about and would like the editor to focus on? Do you have a preferred timeline or deadline for the completion of the substantive edit? What is your primary goal for the manuscript post-editing? (e.g., submission to publishers, self-publishing, etc.) Would you like me to provide feedback or suggestions on themes, pacing, and overall narrative coherence?

Hey, Your speculative fiction manuscript sounds like a fascinating project, and I would love to help you bring it to life. As an editor with a keen eye for plot and character development, I can provide the focused attention your manuscript needs. I am particularly drawn to themes of power, corruption, identity, and self-discovery, and I am confident that my editing skills can help emphasize these themes in your work. I am an experienced ghostwriter, novelist, and screenwriter in fiction and non-fiction with one goal in mind—helping you reach your publishing goal! I’ve worked on hundreds of fiction projects, and some of my works have gone on to become best sellers on Amazon. Although I’ll never take credit for them, I’m fine with simply knowing that somewhere in the world, someone is reading something I’ve written, and smiling or crying, depending on the context of the job. There is nothing as pleasing as being a fiction writer, ghostwriter or even be versatile enough to be a nonfiction writer to help you write the best eBook you will ever need. The art of piecing words together intrigues me every day because almost everyone wants to own a book because they have wonderful creative ideas, but the tricky thing is that not everyone can write. But that is fine, that is why you have me. WRITING, IS MY PASSION with over 10 years of experience. Please leave a message on my chat so we can discuss further and deadline of the project. Thanks.

Having avidly devoured speculative fiction since I was a child, I am well-versed in its nuanced tropes, which will come particularly handy for your manuscript. Proofreading and Editing are not mere technicalities for me – they are crafts that I've perfected over the years. As an enthusiast of power struggles and self-discovery narratives, I can marry my literary sensibilities with your themes, boosting their efficacy. Being economical with time is another advantage I offer, not to mention the competitive pricing. Novice writers like you have a special place in my heart as I empathize with your budgetary constraints without compromising on top-notch work. My extensive experience in writing business plans, academic papers and biographies will certainly enable me to sharpen your plot and character development without deviating from your unique vision. So why me? Because I am not just going to proofread or edit your manuscript - I am going to tightly weave the various threads of your story together, augmenting its richness in ways only a true lover of speculative fiction could. Simply put, with me as your editor, you're guaranteed a sublime juxtaposition of efficiency and creative brilliance ala Shakespeare himself! Let's get started on breathing life into your narrative together!

With your project right up my alley, I'm confident in my ability to provide the necessary expertise and focus to transform your manuscript into a refined work of speculative fiction. As someone who deeply values great storytelling, I bring to the table my years of experience in book writing, editing and fiction, ensuring that your characters are well-developed and your plot is engaging and coherent. One of the defining themes you've mentioned, "power and corruption," is a topic I've not only covered in depth throughout my career but also delved into for personal interest. And when it comes to "identity and self-discovery," I've explored various angles of these issues, which provides me with an adeptness for understanding the nuances of these themes in literature. Despite being an experienced editor, I understand the constraints of being on a budget and as a novice writer seeking assistance. Rest assured, I am more than happy to extend my expertise to you at an affordable rate because I believe that everyone should have access to quality editorial services. Your manuscript deserves meticulous attention towards enhancing its plot and character development, and we'll make sure it shines together.
