First, a little bit about myself. I’m an award-winning Scifi/Fantasy Author currently publishing novels with Diversion Books and Random House Hydra. My work is also represented by the Dystel & Goderich Literary Agency. In short, I’ve been involved in many different facets of the publishing industry and have worked with a handful of professional editors to hone my craft. So why do I want to edit? After spending a majority of my time in the New School Screenwriting Program story critiquing, I realized my passion for helping people improve their work. I want to offer my services to authors out there who might fear there writing isn’t good enough, and help them get the best story possible in front of potential agents, publishers or readers.
I primarily specialize in developmental/content editing, but will also gladly dive a little deeper with a full line edit. Turn-around times vary depending on my current schedule, however, I’ll try to keep the return time below 3-4 weeks and will determine a hard schedule with you before I start. So please, check out the menu below about what I’d prefer to work on and if you’e interested in my services contact me at rcbruno44@outlook.com with the words EDITING QUERY in the subject line. You should include a brief synopsis of the book as well as the first 5-10 pages of your manuscript. Lastly, I generally require a 50% down payment with the completed work being sent once payment has been made in full at the end of the project. I will offer a free trial edit on the first 5 pages of your manuscript if you’re interested so that you can get a sense of my editorial style and can determine whether or not we’d be a good fit.
Genres I’ll Consider **I primarily work with the following categories. I prefer Adult but am willing to consider YA or NA.** Fantasy (any sub-genre) Science Fiction (any sub-genre) Mystery (any sub-genre) Thrillers (depends on content. A speculative twist is preferable) Horror (depends on content. Please contact me for specifics) Short Stories/Novellas (all above genres) Rates
Developmental/Content Edit only: Here I’ll focus on overall narrative structural, pacing and plot development. I will also look at the consistency of your world-building and characters to make sure they’re as three dimensional as they can be.
