Seeking: Indie Editor for Dark Romance: Sample Line Edit Now, Full Copyedit Later (Budget-Conscious) Hi there, I’m an indie author wrapping up a dark romance / Omegaverse-inspired military novel (~75–80K words) and I’m looking for an editor who can handle two phases: Phase 1: Sample Line Edit • Scope: ~10,000 words • Focus: Line editing for rhythm, clarity, and emotional tone Phase 2: Full Copyedit • Scope: ~75–80K words • Focus: Grammar, usage, consistency, polish—clean and professional without losing my voice ⸻ About the Book: • Genre: Dark romance with trauma recovery, found family, and military/political tension • Vibe: Gritty, snarky, emotionally intense, morally gray characters • Status: Almost complete (2–3 chapters + epilogue left) Budget: • Line edit (10K): $100–$150 • Copyedit (full MS): $250–$300 I know these rates are modest and may not be a fit for everyone. I deeply respect the value of editing work and am hoping to connect with a newer editor, a freelancer building their portfolio, or someone who just loves working with dark/romantic/voicey fiction. I’m also happy to provide testimonials or referrals if we’re a good fit! 📨 If you’re interested, please send: • Your experience (especially in romance/dark genres) • Your availability • Whether you’d like to take on one phase or both • Whether you offer a free or low-cost sample edit (300–500 words) Thank you for considering! — Rowan
