[Hiring] Copy Editor for debut Fantasy novel
Hello all. As stated above I am looking for a copy editor for my Fantasy novel. This is the 4th draft of the novel and it has already received a professional developmental edit. See below for some facts about the novel:
- Genre: New Adult Fantasy (with an eye to progressively grow in scale in later installments of a planned 6-book series)
- Wordcount: ~225,000 words. Revisions are ongoing so word count is currently in flux, but that is a good estimate
- POV: Third Person, single main character POV (not character-hopping with different chapters)
- Title: Bone Magick
- Blurb (WIP): In the legendary halls of Mor’Accash, a dark future is foretold. The greatest threat the Continent has ever known, “The Defiler”, is fated to return, and the world is not ready to face her again. As the reviled necromancer’s hidden forces begin to stir in the shadows, the Grandmasters of the Continent’s finest institution of magick search for a new force they can pin their hopes on.
All his life, Ferrund Dall has wanted to be a battle-mage. To be one of Dalicost’s indomitable heroes has always been his dream; to be a protector, a leader, a champion of justice and heroism like the legends of old. It was never meant to be. When the secret of the magick he’s rejected all his life becomes known, he must learn not only how to wield the necromantic power surging within him, but also what it means to be a necromancer. For as a sudden plague of disappearances sweeps over the land, stopping it may not lay in the strength of his magick, but if he’s able to accept it at all.
I am looking for an editor who specializes in sci-fi/fantasy editing, so please refrain from reaching out if that is not your specialty. I will also not accept AI usage during any part of the editing process. Please feel free to DM me if you're interested. I look forward to speaking with any/all of you!
