@Penmate

Hey there! Do you have any specific concerns about the manuscript that you'd like addressed? How much flexibility do I have to suggest structural changes or reorganize content? Are there particular characters or subplots you feel need more attention or development? Would you like feedback on specific scenes, or should I approach the entire book holistically? Are there any elements of the supernatural lore in the book that should remain untouched? Do you have any specific references or influences for the tone and style of the book?

@writercraft88

Hi there, I’m a native English speaker based in the United State With more than 19 years of expertise as a professional editor and proofreader. My passion is to take a piece of writing and help the author forge it into the very best it can be, working together to take any weaker elements and strengthen them into a masterpiece. Whether it's a basic proofread you're looking for or something more in depth, I can help. Services: Proofreading - The final quality check before a manuscript goes to print, fixing any typos, punctuation errors and grammatical errors. I will also check for consistency in elements such as indentation, spacing, headings, etc. and am happy to work with both American English and British English. Line Edits - A more in depth check than proofreading, I will look at the structure of your sentences for any areas that could be tightened up, better word choices, telling where you could be showing, word repetition, etc. Developmental Editing - The most in depth level of editing, where I will work with you to enhance the structure of your manuscript, focusing on plot, characterisation (or characterization in the US!) and pacing. Get in touch with me soon. Best regards, Sandra

@Bhaskar5555

Hey there! "Eldridge Hollow Stories" sounds absolutely fascinating – I love how you're weaving supernatural elements through an interconnected narrative. The premise of a mysterious town hiding secrets in its fog-laden streets really grabbed me. As an editor, I get particularly excited about works that blend character development with suspense, and your book seems to hit that sweet spot. I've helped many authors refine their supernatural fiction, ensuring the eerie elements feel both mysterious and grounded. I'd love to dive into your 53 chapters, paying special attention to how each character's story contributes to the larger tapestry of Eldridge Hollow. Building tension gradually while maintaining those thematic threads of fear, resilience, and redemption is crucial for this kind of interconnected narrative. What really interests me is making sure each supernatural element – from the ghostly trains to the phantom soldiers – serves both the individual stories and the overall arc toward your climax. Would you be open to sharing a sample chapter? I'd love to show you my editing approach with your specific material. Looking forward to potentially helping bring Eldridge Hollow to life!
