copyeditor/proofer for erotic romance novella

Completed Paid on delivery

I am looking for a copyeditor/proofer for a 22,500 word erotic romance novella.

The specifics:

- This project has already been edited, however, it has come to my attention that the editing was of sub-par quality. Most of the "heavy lifting" should already be done, (typos etc.) but there's still grammar/tense issues that need someone with a keen eye and good attention to detail to find. I'm too close to the stories so it's impossible for me to find the issues.

- I can only assume that since the same person edited most of my work that all stories need correcting (there's quite literally dozens) so after the first project is complete, if we find we work well together, then we can discuss working on some of my backlist.
