I'm seeking an experienced editor and literary agent for my speculative fiction novel. The manuscript is currently in its first draft stage. Initially I just want a review of my project - strengths and weaknesses. This is my first novel, but I'm an experienced researcher, writer, and editor of my own books and multi-author books in evolutionary sociology and energy resources. So, it's not so much word for word rewriting that I require as much as advice on plot, character, pitch. I'm pitching to a fairly sophisticated readership, I think. Key Requirements: - Developmental editing expertise - Strong background in speculative fiction with real science theory - Ability to enhance plot, character, and world-building - Tolerance of different political viewpoints Ideal Skills: - Proven track record with similar genres and scientific literacy - Excellent communication and feedback skills - Experience in literary representation Your role will be crucial in shaping my narrative and preparing it for the publishing world. Looking forward to your proposals!

Hi, I will create an outline for the work to be written, and it is possible for me to work on series that are longer than three novels or it can be for a series of novellas. Price is based on time, rather than word count, with an outline for a 20,000 word novella being around 2,000 words (four hours of work) and an outline for a 50,000 word novel being around 5,000 words (ten hours of work). Word count can vary, but having worked on multiple outlines this is the most likely word count. I can write outlines for any kind of speculative fiction, and, as with my ghostwriting gig, I can write for other genres, depending on exactly what they are. I have more experience with some genres than I do with others.
