My Middle-Grade book needs editing

$250-750 USD

Posted over 6 years ago

$250-750 USD

Paid on delivery
I've rewritten my middle-grade ten to eleven times, however, this is my first book. I'm looking for someone who has been editing for at least six years and has references from previous projects. I'm interested in a ghostwriter too, to fill in holes in the story. I'm looking for someone who can help with character building, story pacing, and plot. My novel is about 50,000 words. I need someone who can edit within a two week period or less. I need quality editing. I invite suggestions but not enough to actually change the essence of the book. I need someone who is willing to sign a contract stating, you won't reproduce my book in any way, form or fashion. Meaning you can't use my idea or even talk to anyone about the book.
