Developmental Editor - Sci-Fi

---

DEVELOPMENTAL EDITOR PLEASE read this before responding. I have ≈30k words of a Sci-Fi thriller that requires the assistance of a developmental editor, with an add-on request. The novella is the first installment of a trilogy, narrated in the first-person omniscient perspective. The storyline is cinematic. This request is for a developmental consideration. Why? I have multiple outlines for the dramatic conclusion of book one. The selected editor will provide a developmental commentary of the work and a summary recommendation for the ending. Story Overview: Set in 2025, human pilots have struggled to master the art of piloting alien spacecraft. The MC has a history of alien abduction. During an abduction, MC is given information and is altered genetically. The aliens selected MC as a gift to the covert human space program. The Editor: • Has experience with the science fiction genre. • Is familiar with relevant Sci-Fi tropes. • Has an eye for the love story within. • Lives in the United States. IMPORTANT: You will be honest in your assessment. No holding back. The What: The use of the “Comments” and “Track Changes” features of MS Word is required. The docx file is formatted for 5.5x8.5 print and structured as a paperback and a “flowable” eBook. Returning your comments and recommendations in another format (e.g., Google Docs) is not helpful. • Does the story make sense? Does it flow? • Does the story stand alone? • Is there enough interest, a solid hook, to entice the reader to continue reading with book two? • Are there egregious flaws? (ex, losing track of who is speaking.) • Does the tension support the genre? • The add-on: Is the love interest storyline sufficiently developed? (The goal is for readers who are not Sci-Fi fans to enjoy the story.) • Will you provide a developmental recommendation for the ending(s) I outlined? IMPORTANT: **Only fixed-fee offers will be considered. ** What is the timeframe for completing the assignment? What is your fee for a Developmental Review?
