Hi there! I’m looking for a US-based, experienced fiction editor to help me take my debut novel to the next level. The Meatball is a completed young adult romance manuscript (approx. 65,000 words), and I’m ready for a professional set of eyes to help with editing, pacing, tone, and anything else that will make this story shine. This is my first finished fiction book, so I’m looking for someone collaborative—someone who can guide the process while respecting my voice and style. Ideally, you have experience editing YA, romance, or coming-of-age stories and can provide detailed but encouraging feedback. What I’m looking for: • Line editing and story-level feedback • Experience with YA/romance genre • Strong attention to character development and dialogue • Based in the United States • A collaborative, down-to-earth communication style If you love helping authors bring quirky love stories to life and enjoy supporting debut voices, I’d love to hear from you! Please include samples of past editing work or links to projects you’ve worked on. Let’s bring The Meatball to life!
