Looking for an editor for a 100,000-word novel. The work is a satirical narrative on the problems of humanity. It uses a soft Sci-Fi format to tell the story. The humor includes just about anything from silly and outrageous to dark and metaphorical.
$750-1500 USD

*Knowledge and experience with humor/satire- High
The work is a humor book. So, having high skill and/or experience here is necessary. The writing eventually dives into some pretty deep issues. But it goes deeper than I ever originally intended. So, about every 2 chapters, the humor gets more complex and changes styles. It just turned out that way. I like this aspect, but it could be a flaw if the reader does not want or expect the transition... Helping to judge this would be important.
*Creativity- High to medium
The novel is a narrative and it is unconventional . You don’t need to be able to write creative content, but knowing when creativity/humor is too far over the top is important.
*Sci Fi Knowledge and experience- Medium to low.
This is a Sci Fi book but not in a strict sense. Soft Sci Fi is the vehicle used to make points easier. I myself like Sci Fi but I am not a fanatic. However, some Sci Fi experience or proof that you know something about it is necessary.
*Research necessary- Low
All research is as complete as necessary, but it could crop up I guess.
*Grammar/Spelling- Low
The book uses misspellings on purpose and spoofs names, famous events, etc. Grammar could be another contract for later after the premise of the book is better understood.
*Ghostwriting needed- None
The book is already a monster at 100K words. If anything, it needs consolidation. Or I may split it into 2 books.
*What else might be helpful- Low to medium
Knowledge of psychology/sociology and history. World War 2 history.
*An NDA is required before start.
